Ashlee Simpson Cinched by Anew

It has been almost a year since Ashlee gave birth to her son with Pete Wentz, Bronx Mowgli. And since then, her seemingly dramatic weight fluctuations have been the topic of much discussion. Did she lose the weight too fast? Is she too thin, now? I’m not qualified to answer either of those questions, but I did find an article that may give insight into how she appeared so slim so fast.

According to this article at LimeLife.com, Ashlee, and many other celebrities including Angelina Jolie and Gwen Stefani, have used a post-pregnancy weight Cinching belt made by a company called By Anew after their pregnancies to appear flatter. The By Anew Web Site says that this belt “allows you to regain your healthy waistline naturally and comfortably with a single wrap.” It also features a “internal measuring tape to track progress as your tummy sheds baby weight.”

Products like this are interesting. Although it makes you appear slimmer, I wonder how comfortable/convenient it is, and whether or not the alleged benefits would outweigh the awkwardness of wearing such a device. I wonder where/when Ashlee used this product–to events, or in the privacy of her own home? Has anyone tried this, or products similar to it? If so, let me know in the comments below!
