I tried a shapewear hack to cover my mum belly… it was so bad I looked like SpongeBob, I don’t know where I went wrong
A WOMAN who attempted a hack to reduce the appearance of her mum belly has been left unimpressed with the results – complaining that it has made her look like the children’s cartoon character SpongeBob SquarePants.
Doting mum Jordyn Burdette took to her TikTok account to explain how she came across the trend, revealing that someone commented on a previous clip of hers to alert her of the trick.
“I saw on youtube some girl cut out a flap from a cardboard box & put it right over her fupa and it’s like nothing was there, tried it and it worked,” [sic] the viewer had told her, with a crying with laughter emoji.
Excited by the news, the brunette beauty found the video and watched as a woman took a square of cardboard and placed it flat against her stomach.
The cardboard was placed far down her high-waisted jeans and when she zipped it up, the woman found it had completely flattened her tummy.
Posing from the side, she appeared shocked with her mouth hanging open as she looked at the camera.
“So I just saw this video and I was so so excited that I ran and got some cardboard immediately,” Jordyn said, speaking over the clip, before replacing it with herself.
“Here I am, here is my fupa,” she continued, showing her mum belly as she gave a thumbs down gesture.
She then took a small, rectangular cardboard cut out as she said: “And here’s cardboard, I’m so excited!”
Skipping over showing the process of placing the material into her trousers, she unveiled the finished result.
“And now I look like SpongeBob freaking SquarePants! I don’t know what I did wrong…” she lamented.
Jordyn added: “I’m going to have to get a tummy tuck when I get to my goal weight because that didn’t work for me.”
Viewers flocked to the comments section to share their thoughts on the supposed hack.
“Awww not Spongebob Squarepants,” one person wrote with three crying with laughter emojis, to which Jordyn responded: “Yesss girl I was shook”.
Another couldn’t contain their laughter as they said: “I’m wheezing”. Jordyn replied: “Girl!! I was like finally some shapewear I can afford”.
One person questioned: “What about when you sit down”.
“I guess it keeps people active because they can’t sit lol,” Jordyn told them.
“Dammm I got exited for a minute lol,” [sic] one keen viewer said in reply to the video.
Jordyn explained: “Me too! I ran straight to the pile of amazon prime boxes in my kitchen . I thought it was my time to shine lol”. [sic]
Others, meanwhile, gushed over Jordyn as they assured her of her beauty. One said: “That looks so uncomfortable anyway. You look beautiful the way you are”.
“Thank you so so much,” Jordyn responded.
