There are very few of us that can happily go about living our day to day life without having to carry around with us some degree of ‘pads of fat’ that have been laid down upon our thighs, buttocks, stomachs and in some cases, upper arms since beginning of our estrogen secretion (which is responsible for our curved contours, to many for most of us) since onset of puberty. With few exceptions, rest of us are usually fighting an ongoing battle with our more than enough fatty deposits. We are on diets and workout programs which, granted go a long way for our fitness and health levels but, most of time once we decide to ‘lay of for a while’ we find in no time at all that we are usually back to square one.

Thus, most women have come to terms that easiest, quickest and most inexpensive way to deal with problem is to camouflage it with clothes. But this has led most women to be ultimately forced to dress in a manner other than one that they prefer.
