As you all know by now, I am still in the pursuit of getting back my pre-baby stomach, which means I am always on the lookout for ‘safe’ products to try out. So you can imagine my excitement when the guys at Shrinking Violet, also known as The Loss Leaders, got in touch. I was sent this Shrinking Violet Home Edition by Tibby Olivier, a worldwide leading beauty manufacturer, to try out some weeks ago and I finally got around to trying it.
I must confess, I was not expecting a miracle, not after going under the ice, and not achieving much from the treatment. I had no expectations, but was happy to try the kit out, since I won’t have to leave the comfort of my home.
The guys at Shrinking Violet Home Edition Kit say:
Shrinking Violet is an inch-loss system that has a clinical trial.
It can help reduce up to 14 inches based on our consumer tests. That inch-loss goes on for 72 hours following the treatment and in conjunction with a healthy lifestyle those inches stay off.
How it works:
The Shrinking Violet Home Edition includes a Shrinking Violet Oil 200ml worth £75, a measuring cup worth £1.99, a tape measure worth £5.99, record cards and a Shrinky Suit. The total value of the home edition is £129.99.
To start the treatment, I measure the area to be treated using the tape measure, in this case my stomach, and take note of the measurements, I apply 25ml of oil and rub in properly, then popped the Shrinky Suit on, and set the timer on for an hour.
Here are my thoughts on the product:
PROS
- I lost 2 inches! I took off the body suit once the hour was up. I massaged the oil left on the stomach and measured again, and realised I had lost 2 inches already. I was so shocked, I didn’t expect it to work to be honest. It was the easiest 2 inches I had ever lost in my life!
- I found the instructions clear and straight forward. Everything was written in black and white, like a little Dummies’ Guide.
- I love the fragrance of the body oil. It reminds me of a Spa, and how I am badly in need of a Spa Day.
- I like the fact that I could go about my business as normal wearing the Shrinky Suit. I didn’t have to sit still or anything. I was comfortable enough to carry on like I would have wearing my PJs.
- My sweat glands came alive in this Shrinky Suit. The Suit encourages perspiration and helps cleanse the body of toxins, which is great.
- It is a comfortable, painless and convenient way of removing inches in problem areas. The fact that this treatment can be carried out in the comfort of a home is a massive plus for me.
CONS
- Some may find this product expensive as it is £129.99 for a monthly pack, and it is recommended you use if for at least 3 months to achieve maximum results. However, as it is a tried and tested product that actually works, it is worth every penny in my books.
- It could get really messy as you will be applying a lot of oil (25ml), so I advise you do this in a bathroom or something.
Aftercare
- I can’t shower, swim or exercise for the first 12 hours after the treatment, in order for the Shrinking Violet Oil to be absorbed completely.
- I need to drink a litre of water a day for the first 4 days after treatment, in order to flush out as many toxins as possible.
I think this Shrinking Violet Home Edition is a smart invention. I am so sold on this product, I love everything about it and I see myself using this for the next couple of weeks, and I will be bringing you updates on Twitter so make sure you are following me on there, I am @fashionstylepol.
I recommend this product to anyone struggling to get rid of problem inches in certain areas. Try the Shrinking Violet Home Edition.
What are your thoughts? Have you tried this product before? Drop me a comment, let’s chat.
Thanks for reading and have a great week.

You lost 2 inches – DAMN! Plus, the suit is cute, right? 😜
Nicola, xo
Does it? Lol…Thanks Nicola.
I hate to say it but toxins are a myth. I’m glad you got some temporary results tho as nothing beats the feeling of Loosing inches but it seems very expensive to me for a sauna suit x
I know many would find this product expensive, so I listed it in the cons as you can read. However, I don’t think toxins are a myth, and I dont think it is too expensive for what it does. I have had more expensive treatments and achieved nothing.
A suit that makes you lose weight? This is not real, is it?? And it seems to have worked too.
It is Jaklien, and it does the work.
2 inches, that’s impressive. How long does it last though? x
The weight should stay off as long as you live a healthy life x
This is the type of inch loss I could do and much easier than anything too physical :). It is expensive but I think people wont mind paying out if it does actually do as it says on the tin x
I haven’t heard of this before, but I am always a little sceptical of how long the weight stays off for. It’s good for a quick fix though I suppose.
This is really nice. 2ins lost in a day is wonderful. Though expensive, it is worth trying especially as it is proving to do what it is meant for. I don’t mind giving it a try.
I have never heard of this suit before. Wow a 2inch loss thats amazing. X
This sounds like a really great treatment and it’s awesome that you lost 2 inches on the first go!
Yea it is an amazing kit.
Expensive but if it works, why not ☺☺
Looking fab girl…supercute

Thanks hun.
This is fantastic. I can’t believe you got results so quickly. Definitely more effective than the ice treatment.
Yea it was. Thanks Ana x
I’ve not used the home kit but have had the treatment done in a salon and it’s brilliant
Yea I have heard about the salon treatment, and I think I read tht post of yours.
Not the hottest outfit but if it works I’m there! I never ever thought it would work, but it sounds incredible!
Yea it does the job…
I’ve always been a little sceptical about treatments like this. 2 inches is amazing though. I’d love to see another post in a few weeks to see if they stayed off.
Yea I will be dropping updates on Twitter. Thanks Ali.
My baby was born too close to Christmas for me to worry about my tummy until January. x
Lol…
Oh wow – I can’t believe it actually works! Brilliant review, I am seriously tempted! Kaz x
Thanks for reading Kaz.
2 inches is amazing. I would be interested to see how it stays off. Best of luck with your journey to pre-baby weight x
Thank you x
Thanks for sharing your experience, I so need that in my life lol. I want to lose weight 🙂
Ah I hope you found this post useful.
Wow that is incredible I can’t believe you lost 2 inches! Amazing! Might just have to try this myself 😉 X
Yea you should, it is a great product.
Fabulous review, almost sounds too good to be true! Very useful review xxxx
Thanks Laura.
Wow this looks like an absolute godsend! Although very expensive x
Yea quite pricey but it does the job.
It sounds like it worked because you lost water through sweating. I am still biased about this one, If I tried it myself I might change my mind. But wouldn’t pay that price myself, If someone sent it to me to review, that would be a different matter. Strange why you can’t shower for 12 hours, why is this as I don’t get it
You can’t shower for 12 hours because the oil needs to be absorbed completely x
I think it looks like a rather funky suit myself, not too sure it is for me, but it is an interesting concept x
Yeap it is.
This looks and it sounds fab but the price is a little bit on the high side for me 🙁
Yea it is for most as well x
Results are amazing! I would love to try it but it is on the pricey side for me.

I think this would be great if you had a big event like a wedding or a Christmas party coming up and wanted to make sure you looked really fabulous for it.
Yea I agree Sally x
