It Works! Global Ultimate Body Applicator Review
December 6, 2013 in Reviews by Anna
I recently met an It Works! Independent Distributor and she provided me an It Works! Global Ultimate Body Applicator for this review.
I was given free product for this review, but all thoughts and opinions are my own and based on my own experience.
Before applying my first body applicator, I took her advice and watched this video tutorial on how to properly apply the Ultimate Body Applicator. I also took the time to read these tips to maximize your wrapping results. (By the way, you can find Thompson Fit Wraps on Facebook!) And, of course, I read the directions on the packaging itself. Then I followed everything I was told to do!
Review of It Works! Global Ultimate Body Applicator
Like I said, I followed the directions, by exfoliating the area I intended to wrap and then allowing it to dry. I took my before pictures and measurements. I even marked my stomach in the three areas with a sharpie so I could measure in the exact same place over the following days. However, after the application was removed, so were the markings. I still managed to measure in the correct spots. I will refer to them as “upper,” “belly button,” and “lower” and all measurements are in inches.
I only wore the wrap for 45 minutes as directed. They suggest this to test your skin’s sensitivity. I have sensitive skin and had no issues at all! I also drank over 90 ounces of water each day for three days after using the wrap. They suggest you drink half your body weight in ounces of water, so I went above and beyond half to maximize my results. I don’t eat greasy or fried food all that much, so I didn’t have to watch that.
Now, on to the pictures and measurements. Although I have to say that It Works! Global does not guarantee inches lost. I had just met three people that swore they lost inches when using the wraps, so I was going to document it for you!
My original measurements were: Upper: 36, Belly Button: 39.5, Lower: 40.5
After 24 hours, they were: Upper 36, Belly Button: 39, Lower: 40
After 48 hours, they were: Upper 36, Belly Button: 39, Lower: 40.25
After 72 hours, they were: Upper 36.5, Belly Button: 39.5, Lower: 40
So, as you can see…I didn’t lose any inches when using the wrap once for 45 minutes.
Let’s see if there was a difference when I used one wrap every 72 hours and used 4 wraps total.
Original measurements: Upper 35.75, Belly Button: 39.5, Lower: 40.5
Measurements at 2nd application: Upper 36, Belly Button: 38.5, Lower: 39.5
Measurements at 3rd application: Upper 36, Belly Button: 39.5, Lower: 40.5
Measurements at 4th application: Upper 35.5, Belly Button: 39.5, Lower: 40.5
Measurements 72 hours after 4th application: Upper 35.5, Belly Button: 39.5, Lower: 40.5
So even with a little fluctuation in measurements, the It Works! Global Ultimate Body Applicator didn’t take any inches off my midsection.
What about skin tightening or reduction in stretch marks? I didn’t notice any difference.
Was there anything I liked about the wrap? Yes. I could feel the ingredients moisturizing my skin. I liked the tingling feeling of hydration. (Note: You should not burn when applying the wrap. You can tingle, but don’t burn and don’t sweat.)
Would I recommend the wrap? Sure. I didn’t see results, but like I said, I met three people that swore by them. I don’t know what their diets and drinking habits were before or while applying the wrap, but they said they noticed significant differences. I tend to think that results depend a lot on exercise and diet habits…much like any program seeking to make a physical difference for you.
I can say that I like the It Works! Global Greens and Fat Fighter. I also like that they have products made from natural ingredients. I encourage you to visit Meredith’s Distributor Site and check out all the products It Works! Global has to offer. There’s likely something you’d be interested in.
Are you interested in trying an Ultimate Body Applicator?
I would love to try the Ultimate Body Applicator! It looks heaven sent…I need some of that after I have my baby!
Callie, I know! I wish it had done more for me personally, but it got great reviews from a few other people I met! Good luck and thanks for coming by!
I know they have a lot of other products, but I’ve been so curious about all the wraps and the Ultimate Body Applicator. Thanks for sharing honest results! 🙂

Yes! I will be honest, Sara! 🙂 I really tried to do everything they said to maximize results, but I guess there’s no quick fix for my midsection. If you win, I hope you get better results. I did like the way it felt though! 🙂
The line of weight loss products seems great!
Yes…They definitely have more to offer than just the wraps. Good luck!
I would like to still try this wrap even though it didn’t give you results. I have been curious and there are quite a few brand out there .
I don’t blame you for wanting to test it out, Ashley. I was intrigued too. Especially since two other people had told me it did wonders on them! Good luck!
The product that interest me was the Prevent Age.
I keep learning about new products each time I check out Meredith’s page! Good luck!
The STRETCH MARK & MOISTURIZING CREAM interests me.
Thank you for the chance to win this!
You’re welcome, Allison! I am in search of stretch mark lotion that will work for me too! But the kids were so worth it! Good luck.
I really want to try the Ultimate Body Applicator still. I’ve heard SO many good things about it.
Good! I’m glad you’re trying for it. I heard great things about it too! Good luck.
I would like to try the stretch mark moisturizer
Yes, that is something I would like to fix…my stretch marks. Ahhh…the thought of it. Good luck!
I like the fit packs
Michelle, you sound like you know the product. Good for you! Good luck and thanks for entering and stopping by!
