Okay, so I know it's a goofy idea, and of course, not made for this purpose, but....all inventions came from someone thinking....lol.

For years I have wondered if using a lower powered vacccum "like a little Dirt Devil" or smaller light vacuum might help lift sagging skin such as the cups or vaculift. I AM NOT saying anyone should try this, so please, this is just my crazy, saggy mind. But I would assume at a low intensity, it could certainly stimulate blood flow and maybe even work on cellulite....???

Have I lost my cotton-pickin' mind, lol, or um...has anyone else thought of this or tried it? To be honest, I did try it once over a pair of spandex pants...but felt like an idiot...because I know it could be damaging and their is not a Dirt Devil Wink made for this purpose. Specs, strength, etc. I know it's goofy, but hey, we put needles in our face and acid, why not Hoover Vac our saggin butts, lol.
I realize there is Vaculift and cupping but I can't use those....for various reasons.

Umm.... how powerful IS that DirtDevil? Im glad you tried it OVER a pair of pants - that might have saved your skin somewhat.

Kudos to you for thinking outside the box but I would worry about some capillaries getting blown that way!

Im not a fan of the cupping devices either, mind. I know others like them so I wont say more. Just my preference to avoid something like that.

Dermarolling has lots of precise instructions for its use, but DirtDevilling .... ehhhhh...

OMG!!! Shock

No, you should NOT publish this kind of information!! Laughing

I don't have a hand held vacuum cleaner, my mom has one that I know she doesn't use, ... anyhow, so there I go and before writing I've tried my hoover/ vacuum cleaner Rowenta 2000 watts, taken off the carpet device, so was left with the tube and applied to my right buttock thinking it was only strong enough to suck up dust and hair... Arrow WOW! ... Really this could be something worthwhile using!!! I've got a red right buttock right now, don't have skin issues must say, so I may give this a try for maybe four weeks with a bit of oil on skin for the vacuum hose to glide over just to see how it could help with cellulite.
Maybe you could create a blog: Hoover/Vacuum clean your buttocks Laughing !!!
Thanks, I do love this forum!!! Very Happy

LOL Dont let it go as far as "DIY Plastic Surgery" tho... the lady in Chgo who died after injecting her face with hot beef fat? She actually died soon after from a separate cause but it was found out then what she had done. The lengths we go to when the economy sucks. (not so funny really)

I have an image of someone trying self-liposuction with this DirtDevil idea. NOT A GOOD IDEA FOLKS!!! Sepsis *WILL* occur.

Love it...lol. I could be the blogging Bissel girl. I think there is a vacuum called Bissel. HA HA

Like I said, for anyone reading this, I AM NOT advocating this. I am just crazy enough to vacuum my own tushy. I also used an attachment hose the one time I tried it. I just could not stop thinking "what the bleep is wrong with me" that I have resorted to putting a Dirt Devil on my flabby butt. Life is too short not to laugh at yourself, lol. I eat well, work out, am in shape but thin with loose skin, very loose, so why not suck it up while I am cleaning around the house. 5 minutes to vacuum the small second bedroom and 5 minutes to HOOOOVERIZE or DEVILIZE me.
I DO love this forum. I sure do.
Very Happy

Fawnie

Awesome humor, vacuum humor, a whole new line of comedy is "sweeping" over the nation. Too funny about the ED device. We could probably write a book of bad ideas, but they would be funny.

thanks for engaging in a little CLEAN humor and DUSTING off the old laugh tracks

Blogging Bissell girl for sure! Im pretty sure there have been others out there who have looked at that DirtDevil and had the same EUREKA! moment.

Btw. The guys have certainly had this moment too. There is an ED device that is essentially a vacuum tube placed over the offending member and when suction is applied.... well you get the upshot of it. And here is the peer-reviewd research to explain it: **funny how when guys come up with a useful idea they all get together and do a research study, but girls just blog about it and do it anyway!!!

Suddenly having the Kirby guy over for a demo sounds much more entertaining!

And the price might be equal to many cosmetic procedures. But then you could clean your house too!

Heck add a flobee and do your hair too!

Ages ago, I asked on the Vaculifter thread whether anyone had tried using a large head body Vaculifter over their lips - but I didn't receive a reply. It's basically the same principle.

lol

"Bissel while you work" la la la la la la la
I once had a Hoover I wanted to sell
I thought it might serve my flabby butt well
So I took the attachment, placed it on my skin
And let the sucking magic, slurp and begin
I dreamed of sleek legs, and toned thighs
And woke up from a dream, what a surprise
Legs were still saggy, same as ever
Could this possibly work, or perhaps, NEVER, lol

As far as I can tell, the cellulite suction devices for home-use - like the WellBox - only use suction. I'm unaware of them using anythiing else. So they ARE essentially just like a vacuum cleaner.

Dirt Devil away!!!

This is what I tried only once, a year or so ago. I too am like you, exercise regularly, underweight, eat well. I HATE MY LEGS MORE THAN the carpet cleaner man hates cleaning up GUM stuck to the floor..lol
EVEN MORE. I hate my legs as much as eating glass, or poking myself in the eye with a fork..lol
God bless us all for wanting to look better, whatever happened to growing old gracefully.

"This may be crazy, but I'm using my Dirt Devil to "vacuum" suction my cellulite-ridden thighs. I apply oil, then "vacuum" my thighs 5 min. per leg. I do this 3 times a week. I haven't been doing it long enough to know whether or not I'm helping or possibly hurting myself.
I'm desperate (apparently). I exercise regularly and have for DECADES. I am underweight. What do you think? "

I don't know how to cross post, so I've just copied and pasted the post that appears in the thread I've pasted above! It's a very recent post and the thread is around on the first page of the forum.
Cool


The poster I quoted in that thread is Mars, sorry as I mentioned I can't cross post, don't know how, so I copied and pasted the actual post of the thread pasted above of it.. Maybe Mars might see this and come along to tell us how she's doing. Smile
