At around ?350 pounds a treatment, Lipo-Dissolve the so called "flab-jab" injection that dissolves fatty tissue in the knees is costly, painful and requires ugly plasters on both knees, as recent pictures of Gerri Halliwell and Nicole Kidman show.

There is an alternative however, that involves no effort, discomfort or sticking plasters, wearing Coffee Tights!

Coffee Tights or Caffeine Tights as they are also known as are normal-looking sheer tights that are impregnated with caffeine. As your legs warm up, the caffeine is released into the skin and there it breaks down the fat, leaving legs smoother, slimmer and softer. Many people have lost cm off their thighs and noticed slimmer legs all over.

They rule!

Wow!!! What I originally thought was a joke has turned out to be a miracle. Coffee Tights rule!

Work even without the gym

I just wanted to let you know how amazing these tights really are - it's not a con they really do work. I don't know how they work but somehow I have lost an inch from each thigh despite the fact I haven't been to the gym once this month! My legs are also smoother than they have ever been. I am just hoping that the effects last! Nikki, Tightsplease customer

4.7cm loss

I actually thought these would be just a novelty thing but after wearing them for 7 days I was amazed to find I had actually lost 4.7cm from my thighs. They also made my skin feel really soft and they even smell nice. Sarah Waring - Tightsplease customer

They come in a pack of three for ?26.90 (free delivery) and you wash and wear the three pairs over three weeks to get the desired results, though changes seem to happen almost straight away for some people.
