Oils, diets, massages, food, we tried everything and nothing works: cellulite is always present . And if we tested the sucker to get rid of it? Less expensive than a session of palpate-rolling institute, it has everything to please.

What is the anti-cellulite suction pad?

Usually made of plastic or silicone, the anti-cellulite suction cup has invaded Instagram and social networks. Thanks to its suction power, it stimulates blood circulation and helps to dislodge cellulite . There are several sizes, small and large to best match the area to be treated. The big sucker? It is used for the legs, buttocks or thighs, while the small one is used for the belly or arms. Good to know: the use of the suction cup also helps to avoid the feeling of heavy legs.

How it works ?

The anti-cellulite suction pad is always used with a greasy body, like a slimming oil. The oil helps to slide the suction cup on the skin and facilitates the realization of movements that will help stimulate blood circulation . The gesture is rather simple, after applying our oil, we pinch the suction cup and we just "suck" the skin. Once the suction cup is in contact, we release the pressure ... and we start the specific massages according to the treated area.

• For the thighs and buttocks : the movement is performed first by going up linearly, from the knee to the top of the thigh. Then we do zigzag movements (from left to right and from right to left), always going up, from the knee. Finally, we end with small circular movements. Each exercise should last at least 1 minute. We do the same thing on the back of the thighs, but up to the buttocks if necessary.
• For the belly : we go from the navel to the outside of the belly, then we go on with circular movements. As for the thighs, we do these exercises for at least 1 minute for maximum efficiency.
• For the arms : the same movements as for the thighs, but starting from the elbow to go back to the shoulders. For zigzag movements, start from the inside of the arm to go out.

The suction cup and its suction of the skin can hurt if the gadget is misused. If you feel pain too intense and blues appear, it is surely that the gesture is poorly done: we do it again by pinching harder . Some redness may appear after the sessions, but do not panic, they will disappear within a few hours.

It works and can anyone use it?

We have tested it and we give you our opinion on its effectiveness. It all depends on the degree of incrustation of cellulite. On a low encrusted cellulite that remains on the surface of the skin, the suction cup will help eliminate it. But it will only be mitigated if the cellulite is too encrusted . On average, it takes 3 or 4 weeks to see results appear. But of course, the sucker does not work miracles alone! To permanently eliminate cellulite, nothing beats a balanced diet, rich in fruit, vegetables and fiber, and most importantly, drink as much water as possible (at least 1.5 liters per day). Of course, pregnant women forget the suction cup on their belly during pregnancy , and we also avoid using it if we tend to have varicose veins.
