Whether we acknowledge it or not, achieving a healthy self-esteem is essential in our lives. How we personally feel about our physique is a huge factor in our overall self-esteem. When we are feeling amazing about what we see in the mirror, we gain that certain sense of confidence that trickles down to all areas of our lives. When we are happy about how we look, we feel good about ourselves which then reflects in our daily lives, relationships and work performance. It impacts the way we carry and present ourselves to the world. We see life in a better perspective when we are confident about ourselves, which then affects our mental health, too. It is not just about the physical sense of beauty, but how beautiful and healthy we view ourselves from within.
Adam & Eve, one of the Philippines’ leading shapewear brands today, understands how self-confidence is impactful and beneficial to everyone, especially for the ladies. Its premium body-contouring products are especially made to cater to every woman’s issue: how she personally feels about her body and herself.
Top-Notch Material from Italy
Search the term “shapewear” online and instantly, you’ll be given an array of shapewear items that you can choose from. But unfortunately, not every single one of them effectively works in terms of burning fats and shaping your curves. There’s a science behind the effectiveness of a shapewear, and it all boils down on the material used for that shapewear product.
Adam & Eve is made of the world’s most effective fabric when it comes to body slimming called the Rovolutional Slim Fabric by Carvico. This special fabric is developed in Italy, and is made of micro-encapsulated Novarel Slim fiber, which is rich in active principles such as caffeine, vitamin E, retinol, fatty acids and aloe.
The combined action of these four active principles in the fabric, matched with regular use of not less than 8 hours a day for 8 consecutive weeks, works hard in breaking down and burning excess fats in some areas of your body. The boning features of each shapewear then reshapes and remodels your body silhouette, contouring your body curves. As the fats are broken down into small pieces, the Adam & Eve shapewear also prevents fats to stay in one place. It gives pressure to the pelvic area, upper and lower abdomen, which remodels your abdomen area into slimmer form. It also tightens thighs and lift your butt area.
Adam & Eve shapewear also boasts of its 4 major features. It has far infrared which can improve blood circulation in the skin and internal organs. It also has negative ions, which based on international research can reduce symptoms of depression for some people. On the other hand , its energy stones help in easing back pain as they absorb unwanted bad energy in your body. While the caffeine fabric aids in fat reduction. All these features combined are good for one’s metabolic system, blood system, digestive system, respiratory system, digestive system, cardiovascular system and nervous system. In terms of reducing fats, reshaping specific areas in your body and losing weight, you can see the results in as early as 4 weeks. The fabric is light and breathable, making it one of the most comfortable and effective slimming shapewear brands today.
This brand offers a wide range of shapewear products– from waist-cinching corsets, butt-lifting shorts, to slimming body suits. Once you rock any of these shapewear offerings, you can easily feel that instant boost of confidence and feeling of sexiness from within, as you can feel your butt and breasts lifted and your belly fats compressed in the right places for that curvy, sexy silhouette. You can definitely use the shapewear for that instant styling trick, but the long term slimming effects are even more impressive. When worn during exercise sessions, the fabric of Adam & Eve can help you burn fats even more.
Tested By Real Women From Diverse Backgrounds
We have invited a group of women of all body types from diverse backgrounds to try the premium Adam & Eve shapewear. We have taken photos of them on the first day they have ever tried the Adam & Eve shapewear, and they have all felt that boost on self-confidence, as they experienced that empowering feeling of bringing out the sexier vixens they did not know they had in them from within.
Disclaimer: All precautionary measures were applied during the shoot last August, and everyone is mighty healthy during, and now after a number of weeks after the shoot.
We have interviewed these ladies two weeks after the photo shoot. And these are what they have to say about their Adam & Eve Shapewear experience:
Kat Munar, a makeup artist, wife and mom to two wonderful dogs, used the Adam & Eve Body Suit Shaper With Sleeves in cream color as her top during our shoot. It was her first time to use a shapewear ever, and she was pleasantly surprised at how comfortable and light the Adam & Eve shaping body suit felt. She recalls that certain instant compression of body fats in all the right places, lifting of the chest and butt areas, plus that waist-cinching experience.
Here is our further interview with her two weeks after the shoot:
1.What can u say about the Adam & Eve shapewear as a styling tool?
“I love Adam & Eve shapewear most especially when I wear a shift dress or an outfit made of fabrics that drape or cling to the body. Since Adam & Eve shapewear hugs my body so nicely, my dress falls and drapes on all the right places, giving me an awesome, somewhat sexier body silhouette.”
2.What can u say about Adam & Eve in terms of the level of comfort?
“Adam & Eve shapewear is really comfortable to wear. I don’t feel too restricted when I move. I can still do my chores, and even my daily exercises. I can freely move when I work, and even when I play with my dogs. The fabric is so light, yet compresses my body fats so nicely!”
3.Has it helped u lose weight so far?
“I feel like it’s been helping me lose some fats in my waist, especially with a better diet. I think the extra added feature of the energy stones in the shapewear are helping me lose weight too.”
4.Did Adam and Eve help your fitness aspirations so far?
“Being a makeup artist, my work is heavily affected by what’s happening in the world today, as the pandemic has greatly changed my routine. I have more time to work out now. And ever since I started wearing the Adam & Eve shapewear regularly, I’ve been more motivated to work out and eat healthier. I believe that I’m slowly but surely getting to my fitness goals now.”
5.What do u like best about Adam & Eve shapewear so far?
“Adam & Eve has helped me embrace my body even more, and has helped me to be more motivated to start and keep a healthier lifestyle. I also like that Adam & Eve is helping me with my posture– keeping my torso in a proper upright position, which is good for my back since I have scoliosis.”
“I am also really grateful, happy and proud to be included in this brand campaign that embraces different body types, since I do struggle with my own body image. This campaign that’s making us try the product has helped me remember a somewhat forgotten truth that we are all worthy of love and happiness, no matter what our weight or size is. This has reminded me that diversity is beautiful, and our unique bodies are gifts. We all come in different shapes and sizes and we are all beautiful! In our society where ridiculous body standards are everywhere, it is crucial for us to feel comfortable about our bodies. We are entitled to feel good about our bodies anytime and anywhere. How we perceive and accept ourselves play such big roles in our overall physical and mental health. Feeling comfortable in our bodies is one big step towards genuine self-love. And I am glad that Adam & Eve is that effective tool that has really jump-started my journey towards loving my body even more, and feeling comfortable with it, and consciously taking good care of it. Since I can see and feel the slimming effects of it, the more I’ve become pumped up to live a healthier lifestyle.”
Anna Pangalangan, 28 years old, writer from Quezon City
It was also Anna’s first time to wear a shapewear during our shoot. She used the Adam & Eve High-Waisted Shaper Shorts under her everyday wear of jeans and top. She noted how the shaper shorts truly hugged her body comfortably, and made her waist look fitter, and it lifted her butt area– which then “made me feel sexier in my outfit”. After the shoot, she was given an Adam & Eve corset along with the shaper shorts for her to try at home.
Here is our further interview with her two weeks after the shoot:
1.What can u say about the Adam & Eve shapewear as a styling tool?
“The Adam and Eve shapewear is perfect for daily use because it is breathable and comfortable. Underneath, it makes my body fats feel compressed comfortably in all the right places, which makes me feel sexier. Also, because of its classic design, I can use it over my tops or dresses. I always get a compliment or two when I do that!”
2.What can u say about the level of comfort?
“It is 100 percent comfortable, making me feel sexy without being nauseated. “
3.Has it helped u lose weight so far?
“I lost some weight for sure. Especially since I coupled wearing the shapewear with daily exercise and a healthy diet. I always tell my friends about this holy trinity of getting in shape, because the shapewear truly makes me sweat even more during my workout sessions. They’re comfortable that you can wear them during workouts.”
4. Did Adam and Eve help your fitness aspirations so far?
“I work from home as a writer, and it was so hard to start a routine during the start of the pandemic. I had to push myself to establish new habits so I can be productive throughout the day. In the morning, I pray, tend to my garden, and do my morning hygiene. By 9am, I put on my shapewear and get to work. By 6pm, I take out the shapewear and start working out. Some days, I wear the corset while exercising which makes me sweat more. I exercise religiously which helps to keep me sane and grounded. Adam and Eve further encouraged me to work out to achieve a healthier body.”
5. What do u like best about Adam & Eve so far?
“I love that you can truly see and feel that it is made of topnotch quality material. I love its overall aesthetic too, and its comfortability that makes me wear it everyday. Wearing it assures me that I am burning fats in my belly area, whether I am working out or not, and more so when I am working out!”
“I also love that Adam & Eve shapewear makes you explore more how you feel about your body, and it makes you conscious of how you should love and take care of your body, and yourself. If you love yourself, you’ll be kinder to yourself. And that snowballs to feeling good about yourself and others too! It’s a beautiful cycle that must come from accepting yourself — flaws and all. Every woman’s body is a beautiful vessel. Seen through that prism, I want my body to represent strength and confidence. Feeling good about your body is the secret to feeling and looking sexy. And Adam & Eve can truly help you start your journey towards feeling sexy and good about your body.”
Suzy Villanueva, 27 years old, entrepreneur from Quezon City
Suzy is an entrepreneur and beauty influencer from Quezon City. Just like the other girls, it was her first time to wear a shapewear. She was wearing the Adam & Eve Sleeveless Full Body Shaper, and has since worn it regularly in alternate with a corset.
Here is her review two weeks after our shoot:
1.What can u say about the Adam & Eve shapewear as a styling tool?
“Using the shapewear underneath, I can say it made me look better in my usual outfits, compared to when I am not wearing a shapewear inside. I like using the corset when I wear a top and bottom ensemble. It lessens the flabby look on my sides.”
2.What can u say about the level of comfort?
“It is extremely comfortable. I like the feeling that I am not wearing anything! It feels like a second skin.”
3.Has it helped u lose weight so far?
“I wear the shapewear when I work out, and it does help a lot. I sweat a lot more when I wear the corset. I love using this for workouts since it does not feel like I am wearing a shapewear!”
4.Did Adam and Eve help your fitness aspirations so far?
“I work from home, and I work out at home these days too. Adam & Eve does help me a lot, especially since I wear them during my workout sessions. Sometimes, I look in the mirror while wearing the Adam & Eve corset, and I tell myself that I should work out to be able to achieve the same body fit even if I am not wearing the shapewear! And it does help me get even more motivated! I workout about 5x a week now, and I recently learned how to ride a bike. It helps a lot knowing that my shapewear can help me with my healthy lifestyle.”
“I love my body as it is, and I work out to give my body a reset. Losing weight is a little reward I get from taking good care of my body and I love it. Seeing and feeling that I am burning and sweating even more during workout whenever I am wearing the shapewear make me feel even better about my body and myself. It is an instant mood-booster. Being comfortable in my own body is also trusting myself with everything that goes with it. ‘Love your body and it will love you back’, is what I always say.”
5.What do u like best about Adam & Eve so far?
“I love the fact that I don’t feel anything when I am wearing it. And that says it all. When I was first asked to be part of the campaign, my first question was, if they had shapewear products for plus-sized women. I was extremely happy when I found out that they do! It really is the time for us to expand body diversity in our country. We usually have the small, medium and large sizes in shapewears, but no more than that– which just contradicts the function of a shapewear in the first place. Why would small and medium frames use a body shapewear? But those who truly need them more, do not even have the access to a shapewear with the right size? This has always been a question for me and now, I am happy that I do have a brand that offers good shapewear products for plus size too!”
Adam & Eve shapewear produces more body contouring results after eight weeks of regular use. Watch out for our next shoot with these ladies to share with you their full Adam & Eve journey!
The Danger of Fake Materials
Not all shapewear sold in the market right now are made of the prestigious Carvico material from Italy. But unfortunately, some are being positioned as effective shapewear. Consumers need to be informed that using imitations of the Adam & Eve shapewear with fake and ineffective materials may pose bad effects to one’s body and health.
For starters, poor quality of shapewear is uncomfortable and unbreathable to wear, which can affect your air and blood system. The bad flow of air in the blood caused by bad quality of fabric can actually worsen your body shape, and danger your breathing process. Some fake slimming materials can also harm the skin. Using a fake or low quality shapewear is not just ineffective in terms of burning fats and losing unwanted weight, but is also hazardous to one’s health.
Adam & Eve takes pride in its energy stones for better blood circulation and air system, matched with its breathable, thin and comfortable premium fabric with active, healthy actives from Italy.
Guidelines To Remember
To gain its maximum effectiveness, Adam & Eve shapewear should be worn at least 8 hours a day for 8 consecutive weeks, except on the days when you have your period. It is also important to note that your special shapewear can be cleaned strictly through handwash only, and with mild, alkali-free detergent only. Dry it indoors too, as exposing it directly to the sun’s UV rays can damage the fabric and all its special features.
