“There is now a way we can control our caffeine intake by wearing Palmers “Slim Fit 20” caffeine tights (well ladies at least anyway!). Another side effect of wearing these tights on a daily basis is an approximate loss of around 2cm from the thighs, reduces the appearance of cellulite and the dreaded “orange peel” effect – bonus!
The way the tights work is that body heat releases caffeine microcapsules into the leg, thus promoting the metabolism to kick in and start fat burning. According to the makers, results should be apparent in about 1-4 weeks…” (Coolest Gadgets)
The only results anyone is going to see from wearing these tights is their marketers laughing all the way to the bank. Not only is caffeine not a weight loss agent (if it were, I would be carrying far fewer kilos by now); not only is the transdermal absorption claim dubious; but, if so, I don’t think the metabolic effects would be localized to the thighs.
