Ginger Cream Review

Some mummies have been asking me about the confinement products that I bought. Thus far, I've only used the ginger cream. I daren't touch the shower gel as it will dispel "wind" from the belly (That's why pregnant ladies will boil herbs to bathe instead of the usual water), but I'm afraid it will harm the baby, so to be safe, its just the ginger cream for now.

First usage - When it first arrived, I couldn't contain my excitement. Imagine no more back aches and no more leg aches! In addition to the slimming properties it'll add for me, it's like a miracle cream - no more aches + slimming = happy mummy. So after my bath, I applied generously to my arms and thighs (When I have back aches, its usually cw that does the application) and continued my daily routine. UNTIL.... The burning sensation was so strong, I thought I'm going to burn. I'm not kidding you. For the first time, it's like being trapped in a burning lift, I felt that I needed to dose myself with icy cool water. So mummies, its NOT a warm sensation, its a burning sensation.

I've googled why this would happen and apparently, its the slimming properties that is taking into effect. Being vain, of course I'll feel happy. Let's face it - Who don't want to be pregnant and still maintaining the slim/slender physique? So what I did for the next subsequent application (And I'm still using the ginger cream now) is to apply SPARINGLY! What I like about this cream is that unlike other ginger creams (Which I've read reviews too), this ginger cream manufactured in Taiwan has longer lasting effects. I experienced this one day when the effect lasted me till the next day, but because its burning, I just rinsed myself with water when I woke. So apply sparingly mummies! :)










Another alternative of course it to purchase this:

The lavender soothing cream! Once mummies feel that the burning sensation is unbearable, a dollop of this baby is all you need. Did I buy this? Nope! Reason: I'll rather have the effects of the ginger cream work on me 100%, I'm afraid that by applying the lavender cream, it might diminish the efficacy of the ginger cream. But of course, the choice is yours. Mummies who might irk at the smell/thought of being gingerised, then perhaps you might want to consider this lavender bottle.

How I look like now?

This is me at 25 weeks! So I'm 6mths pregnant now. I asked cw if I look slim cause of the ginger cream and he said no. It's cause my framesize is small, so no matter how much I eat, how pregnantly huge I become, my frame won't expand. This was what my gynae said as well when she was examining my baby. Being worried that my belly is still small (Loads of people have been telling me that I don't carry a 6mths belly AT ALL), I've checked and re-checked my concerns with the gynae and she re-assured me that baby is healthy and she is just beginning to move slightly more to medium size, so I can relax.

So whether I can fully attribute to my phsyique due to the ginger cream? I can't say for sure that the ginger cream worked yet. What I can do is to review the ginger cream after birth when my massage lady will be applying it on my belly, so if my belly shrinks, then yes, we'll fully know the slimming effects of ginger cream. Just 3 more mths. Can't wait for Leia to be out! Going to be drowned in all her crying and fussing, but worth it when she finally learns "Mummy!" :)

P.S. Appreciate it if readers email me at: evette.g289@gmail.com, its easier for me to filter out emails, rather than everything goes to theclothesshopp! :) Thankie!
