ShaToBu – The Workout You Wear™ – is the revolutionary shaper that helps women shape, tone and burn more calories during everyday activities.
ShaToBu is by far my most favorite item I’ve ever reviewed! I haven’t spent much time talking about it online, but everyone that knows me “in the real world” is sick of hearing about it lol. Seriously everyone I know has heard about it, heck my mom even had me telling people in her store about ShaToBu!
Last summer I was a size 15/16. I know, I know, after 5 kids and years of stress eating, snacking with them, too much chocolate, etc., I just really let myself go! I managed to drop back to a size 14, and some 12s, in the fall, then when we lost Grandpa I started gaining again. And it wasn’t just my weight or size, I was also extremely unhealthy. Having problems with my blood sugar and blood pressure and starting to get simple illnesses often (colds, sinus infections).
In January I decided that I had to make a change! I stopped eating dessert for breakfast and started eating healthier at every meal. I started playing the Wii/working out almost every day. And I started wearing my ShaToBu religiously. I’m happy to say that this week I’m between a size 8 & 10! I know it’s a combination of all the changes I made, but I know I owe a lot of it to the ShaToBu.
I always said I didn’t care how much I weighed or what size I was, as long as I was happy, but you can’t imagine what a self-esteem boost it is for everyone to be noticing that I’m “shrinking”. Friends, family, even people I barely know have been asking me “How much weight have you lost?” and saying “Wow, look at you!” And I’m so proud to say that today is the day that I’m confident I have myself under control and am taking all my size 12, 14, and 16 clothes to the resale shop because I won’t be needing them ever again!

Thank you ShaToBu!!!
Disclosure: Yes, I received the ShaToBu free to wear to test and review, but soon I’ll have to drop down a size and I will be ordering one and paying out of pocket for it! I believe in the product and stand behind it 100%, no matter how I originally acquired it.

Thanks for sharing this. This sounds like an amazing product. I have just shrunk down from a size 18 to a 12/14 and am hoping to be down to a 7/8 soon and maybe even smaller….this product sounds like a great help. I will have to pick one up.
Wow, you look great! Thanks for the review.
I checked out the website-I would try the high waist to knee shaper. Independent scientific studies from the University of Virginia show that women who wear ShaToBu during daily activities burn UP TO 12% MORE calories during daily activities like walking or climbing stairs.
That is significant!
Has anyone tried the 2X? I’m a little over the weight they list as a size 2X and would love to be able to wear one.
Hi Gigi! I have on the 2xl high waist black ShaToBu, and Im currently at 195 (down from 198 just from last week!) It was a little difficult putting it on – lots of pulling and tugging but once it was on, its very comfortable and holds everything in. I suggest you buy it and take a good 5-10 minutes to get it on right – but Im sure you can get your money back if you absolutely cant get it on. Good luck!
I had trouble getting my Shatobu products on. These are beautifully made but not for anyone with chronic fatigue or muscle weakness. I phoned and left a message re returning the products. My call was promptly returned and an e-mail sent to be with the return instructions right after the call. The lady who took my call said that the large was too small for me. I weigh less than the maximum wt on the size large scale of the purchase guidelines. Do note that you must contact the company within 5 days of receiving the product in order to get a refund.
