Lost in translation

I finished my electrostimulation session last night.

This is a humiliating procedure where large rubber hands are tightened around my stomach, hips and thighs in an effort to lose a few inches. I've always been curious about it and my gym offers the service, so I figured I would try it for a month.

Ideally, you do it naked. Since this was out of the question for me, I'm allowed to wear a tank top and underwear.

The girl who does it is very nice and professional, but she has to...how can I put this delicately, make sure there is as little material as possible on my body for the maximum results. This involves her literally giving me a wedgie (sorry for the visuals).

After I thank her for the session, she always answers "with pleasure".

This always make me laugh. It's a direct translation of "cu placere", which is basically the Romanian "you're welcome". Does she really do those things to me "with pleasure"?

Just a thought...

Hi Karla!

This thing you tried interests me...mainly because I can't quite picture how it works! :P When I first started reading your description, I could picture that weird gym machine they used in the 40's that was a giant strap you wrap around your midsection. Then the whole machine just vibrates and the band wiggles you skinny! Does this electrostimulation work?
Hope all is well on that side of the world :) Bye for now!
