There are psychological advantages too. "You feel your whole psyche changing when you wear one," says K.T. "We haven't had backaches or varicose veins, but we've developed some strange cravings."

"People think we're pregnant and tell us how great our complexions look," explains K.T. "They tell us we glow. And maybe we do, because we have this funny secret...

Karin reacts to this as if it were a kind...

Just over the area where the stomach protrudes, there is a circular cutout into which any one of three discs-two patterned and one plain black mesh-can be snapped. The black disc, recommended for evening wear, includes a strategically positioned rhinestone guaranteed to be the center of attraction...
