Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it impossible to spot reduce? I'm a pear figure, too. I build muscle very easily on my lower body; unfortunately, I also store a lot of excess fat there. I can build all the muscle I want, but unless I get rid of the layer of fat over it, no one is going to know it's there but me. I know this type of tape would not be the solution for me. I actually needed to cut down on my leg work and increase the cardio. Oh yeah, and watch the calories. Just another opinion, for what its worth . . .
