I don't usually watch commercials, but being stuck here with not much to do .......
One has come to my attention. It is the arm girdle. Okay, I am old. Back in the day, we wore girdles. Today they wear Spanx. Same thing, just up-dated. Nowadays I just wear what is comfortable. There is no way I would shimmy into Spanx. Actually, there is no way I could with my shoulder situation. As it is, I am lucky to get a sports bra on unassisted.
This new product targets my age group and sagging upper arms. Apparently I am not supposed to embrace this condition and use it as a weapon when waving to someone. You simply don this amazing sheer solution and your arms are young again. No more slapping your mate in the face with your flabby arm fat. I know I said arm girdle, but really it is more like support hose.
Having worn both girdle and support hose at some point in my life, I know a little bit about both. The main thing I remember is the relief in taking either off at the end of the day. Another is that, when you compress that fat, there will be some "spillage" somewhere. You can press it down, but you can't make it "disappear", as the commercial would have you believe. That fat has to go somewhere!
The support hose would "flatten" the lower abdomen, but it created a bulge right above the waistline. I wonder where the arm fat goes?

No kidding?!? I haven't heard about these yet. Not that's I'd use one...
I have not seen the arm girdles. Maybe those commercials are on Lifetime. I suppose instead of a muffin top, you get a little popover roll.
My best old ex-teaching buddy Mabel says that to avoid showing off your old lady arms, you should not wave normally, but instead use the Queen's royal wave, merely turning your palm toward you, utilizing the elbow and wrist, while keeping the upper arm stationary.
Of course Mabel was not calling YOU an old lady, just commenting on waving techniques.
Straight to the back where you will have back boobies larger than your front boobies thus confusing people who will not know whether you are coming or going and they will fight the urge to tell you to get the hair out of your eyes...
that's where it goes

soon enough we will suffocate ourselves in holding ourselves together....
Ha-ha, I saw that commercial and thought the same thing. They also come in lace, now. Can you imagine?
I am at the age where I don't care if my flabby upper arms offend anyone. And did you notice that those sleeves are for thin women? I can't imagine a boa constrictor-squeeze on both arms.
