Chest Wrinkle Pillow
I had so many questions about the chest wrinkle pillow I got rid of the other day, so here is your quick picture to show you how it works. I wore it some, and it wasn’t uncomfortable, but it made me hot and I didn’t feel like it worked, so away it went. I’m picturing the folks at Goodwill trying to figure out what the hell it is. Apparently I was once really upset by chest wrinkles, because not only did I spend way too much on this, I also bought some kind of silicone thing to help, which also…not enough results, so I threw that away.
The end. That is all on the stupidness of my chest wrinkle vanity project. My tip for preventing chest wrinkles is: Don’t spend a ton of time in the sun without sunscreen.

The internet asked and you answered! Now I have one less thing to ponder.
J
LOL, you’re welcome.

I don’t (yet) have the context for this, but it was a delight to read nonetheless. So relatable, to be bothered by something like chest wrinkles (I am recently most obsessed with my smile lines — they are so very There), and to buy all the things and then to throw them away. I relate deeply to that cycle.
J
Thanks Suzanne, I feel seen. I’m in the midst of trying to declutter my house, and I have taken on a project to get rid of (at least) One Thing a Day. The other day I did a post of 13 things I had gotten rid of, and this was one of them. Everyone was all, ‘what’s that?’ In the comments.

Speaking of wrinkles. Now that I have lost some weight, I have excess skin on my tummy, and I swear that part of it looks like Jabba the Hutt.
J
LOL, yeah, the skin doesn’t bounce back like it used to, does it?

Men never worry about chest wrinkles. Of course, there’s the hair to camouflage it for many of them. But, to be honest, I never thought about them myself until my SIL brought it up a few years ago. Like grey hair, I just allow them to happen as a normal part of aging and don’t worry about it.
J
You are aging more gracefully than I am then! Coloring my hair, buying contraptions…

Best post ever. I’m contending with jowls that sprang up almost overnight. They are not great. I’m afraid there is not a pillow in the world that can save me.
J
Oh dear, yes, the jowls. We have to have plastic surgery or learn some grace and just go with it. I think those are the only options.
Margaret
Well, now that you’ve made me aware of them, I have lots of chest wrinkles! I don’t know that I care though being nearly 70 years old. LOL That is quite a contraption indeed.
J
Yes, I first noticed mine quite a few years ago. I guess I’ve gotten used to them!
Tamara
Indeed. I’m trying for grace but I pay more attention than I should to reports of plastic surgery tourism in nearby countries! I never could but some days I am tempted.
J
Oh yes, the temptation is real! What stops me more than the pain or the expense is the concern that I might look worse than when I went in!

Wow, this is something I never knew existed, and I am glad that you brought it to the light. Also, I am glad that you got rid of it because it reminds me a little bit of a corset or something, like you are melding your body to a contraption. Good riddance! I do giggle to think of the Goodwill guys! Actually that thing would be a good camping pillow if you cut the straps off of it (maybe?)
J
LOL, those Goodwill Guys. I left it in a baggie that had the name of it, so maybe someone will google it and say, “I NEED THIS!”. Probably an employee, I doubt they would try to sell it.

To me, in the initial post it looked like a little tiny backpack that didn’t open. Such an interesting product. My mind is blown knowing that people think to design things like this. Maybe because I feel like my most awful years appearance wise were in my teens, I’ve been fine with just about everything else since.
Wait, I lied, I did buy some vitamins (nutrafol or something?) that were meant to help my hair from being so thin. I understand it helps loads of people, but I wasn’t one of them. Damn celiac. My thin hair will not recover – so that’s the one issues I’ve had since my teen years that I struggle with. Three way mirrors at department stores are torture for me, because then I can see what everyone else sees.
Thanks for enlightening us on how this thing was used.
J
For some reason I think this cushion was made by some women locally, but I couldn’t swear to it. Pretty sure I got it from Amazon though. I know Nutrifol has helped Nicole, I am sorry it didn’t help you. All of our bodies are so different, and yet so similar, right?
San
THE MORE YOU KNOW. I had never seen one of those before! LOL
J
I’m here to help.

I had trouble processing the whole thing at first, so I thought she was holding the pillow against her and couldn’t understand what the other thing between her boobs was. Also, when Nance said “men never worry about chest wrinkles” I thought she meant ON WOMEN, so when she continued “there’s hair to camouflage it” I was like OKAY NANCE, BACK OFF MY PERIMENOPAUSAL HAIRINESS. I have a blog category for ‘stupid things I’ve bought lately’ for just this sort of thing.
J
LOLOLOLOL!

This is just hilarous.
Thanks for enlightening us.
J
Kind of crazy, huh? When there is a problem, people will try to find a solution, I guess.
Nicole MacPherson
Oh so the boobs go on the outside of it. Huh. Well. Here we are. I have never once worried about chest wrinkles but lately I have noticed I have jowls and a striated neck. Not that I am worried about those things, per se, it’s just an observation. Plus I don’t think there is anything to be done about jowls and a striated neck so I will just soldier on. We all have our things.
J
Yeah, the main solution to chest wrinkles appears to be to wear shirts that don’t show your chest wrinkles.
PocoBrat
I can still picture the full frontal of this contraption on your post and my bewilderment and assumption–haha.
The thing that threw me the most was that tiny little bow on it–like is it supposed to be a gadget or a decoration?
J
Purely decorative, so you know it’s for ladies. 🙂
Diane
These were exactly the visuals I needed.
I bet when someone tries to google this from now on, you’ll be the top hit.
And also … can you imagine the Goodwill folks trying to figure out where in the store it goes?
J
I know, right? I did put it in its original packaging, which didn’t have much of an explanation. I’ll bet they trashed it.
Anne
File this under “things I honestly never thought about”. Thank you for the pictures – definitely worth 1000 words, as I could NOT figure out how you would wear the darn thing. 😉
J
I aim to please!
