leggings that 'destroy cellulite': They contain 1,200 wooden beads that massage your legs and prevent unsightly dimpling

A mother has invented a pair of leggings to combat cellulite.

The £46 leggings contain 1,200 wooden beads that massage your legs – which, it is claimed, can remove and prevent the unsightly dimpling of the skin.

Beba, a mother-of-two who struggled with cellulite on her legs for years, created the first pair and wore them to the gym. 

She had such a positive response that she set up a company to share her invention.

The company says the Cellulite Crusher leggings should be worn for at least 30 to 60 minutes every day, and claims they work while cycling, running, doing yoga – or even just sitting on the sofa.

The beads are said to push against the legs as the muscles contract, putting more pressure on them which is said to aid with breaking up the fat cells.

Cellulite is bumpy fat under the skin that causes dimpling, particularly affecting women on their hips and thighs. 

There are several therapies to remove it, including pneumatic massages, heat therapy, and ultrasound - though none have been supported by medical studies.
