it's actually the pants that are the "Shakitto" part, not the bra. The article said "support wearers around the pelvis", which a bra obviously doesn't do.

Its nice to have a fashionable pair of wear like this (for 5,670 yen.) But if the girls really want to shape up, take 30-minutes to an hour a day and go out walking. The brisk, commando style posture of this models will suffice as a good style to follow. Then give yourself 30-60 days of such a regimen, and you might even save yourself money. After 2 months, you may not even need the size you originally thought you would buy before starting the regimen.

55 bucks for a piece of rubber...well, there's a sucker born every minute, as the saying goes

There are no short-cuts for improving posture and physical fitness. When will people learn they just have to start doing exercise. Argh!

I was very tempted to buy this but I just couldn't justify the price. Wacoal & Triumph make me angry. Elitist underwear!!!

I have one, I wear it when I go to a tabehodai. That pushes on my stomach so I will eat much less. LOL Well, it's not made of rubber, but lycra.

A lazy item for females who dont wanna exercise. When you take off your gear,you will be exposed so....

Gotta love how they put this above the Krispy Kreme donuts articles. Advertising to fatten you up and then slim you down. Nice.

Altria already has a body like a Greek God.

Don't need no bra to keep me in shape.
