Duct tape — it’s a must-have item almost everyone has in their homes, right?

Although one thing duct-tape does have going for it? These “bikinis” are literally tailored to your shape, making unflattering muffin tops and saggy shapes a thing of the past.

But when all is said and done, we’ll be leaving this one to the professionals. Someone pass the Lycra.
