I had heard a lot of great things about the Yummie Tummie shape ware collection. I was finally able to try one out. I ordered a basic black tank, and was pretty excited to finally wear it. Sadly, I didn’t find it to be that great at all.

First of all, they are extremely expensive at $62 for the tank, and another $10 for shipping on top of that. Secondly, and most importantly, it didn’t hold me in at all. I was very careful to follow the sizing chart, and I got the right size for my measurements, but it was no different for me than wearing a regular tank top. I don’t think the sizes run big, because parts of the tank fit right, but overall it was a bit loose, so it was useless as shape ware. Also the Yummie Tummie continually crept up and bunched in the “shaping” area, making it very uncomfortable to wear.

I wouldn’t recommend this product to anyone, especially at the price. I am sure that you can find better working shape ware products at a lower cost.

It’s really nice to see so many products coming out in support of breast cancer research. Winsor Pilates is a very good workout, and I imagine that this pink version is just as great as the regular. But why not work out and support a good cause at the same time?
