How much time do you spend looking at the care labels inside of your clothes?  How much thought, overall, do you give to doing your laundry?

We’ve all had this happen to us – we put on our favorite pair of jeans and watch in horror as a big bulge of flesh appears just above its top as we try to fasten the button.  Or, we put on a piece of shapewear to control our tummy and cringe as we see that what we didn’t like about our tummy now sits like a roll at our waist, above the top of the brief.

This issue is so common that it’s become immortalized in pop culture today as “The Muffin Top.”
