The 45-second trick to get a snatched waist for summer that Love Island star swears by as people hail it ‘new life hack'
WHETHER it's that time of the month or something you've eaten, bloating can affect many of us. It's a common condition that leaves your body feeling tight, stretched, and swollen - and your clothes feeling uncomfortable. 4 Mal Nicol revealed her easy trick to get a snatched waist Credit: Tiktok/@mallurpaal 4 Mal performs a DIY lymphatic drainage on her stomach Credit: Tiktok/@mallurpaal Fizzy drinks, eating certain foods and swallowing air when eating can all lead to bloating. Water retention, constipation, stress and Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) can all trigger it too. You might avoid triggers the best you can, but sometimes bloating can feel inescapable. However, there is a treatment celebrities absolutely swear by to reduce it - lymphatic drainage. Lymphatic drainage is a non-invasive treatment that's particularly popular in Brazil. It's a lot like a gentle therapeutic massage and used to alleviate digestive issues, hormonal imbalance, and reduce cellulite. Lymphatic drainage involves massaging inflamed areas with the fingertips in a clockwise motion to stimulate the lymph nodes. And Love Island star Mal Nicol has revealed she swore by the technique on the show to look bikini-ready at all times. Most read in Celebrity in a TikTok video demonstating the technique, she said: "I genuinely did this, but I didn't know this was lymphatic drainage. "I've always done it. Like, any time my belly's out, any time I've ever felt a bit bloated, I would put a bit of cream on so it's a bit glidy [and massage my stomach]. "I remember doing it in the villa when I was in my bikini. "It's really gross. I do it both ways. I always end it this way, clockwise. "It's very weird, but yeah, have a go this summer." Mal's clip - captioned "burping my way to a flat tummy hahahahahh" - went viral with more than 1.6million views. And social media users are loving her simple hack. "Ur so real for this babe", one gushed. A second insisted: "It acc helps so much." 4 Mal says she used the technique in the Love Island villa Credit: ITV 4 She demonstrated the hack in a quick video Credit: Tiktok/@mallurpaal A third echoed: "Crying, this is my new life hack now." "Brb, burping myself rn", joked a fourth. A fifth added: "Why is this so funny but such a good to know hack." Meanwhile, a sixth said: "Love thissss, my new routine." What are the after effects of lymphatic drainage? Lymphatic drainage has physical, and mental benefits. The treatment reduces swelling around the target area, but it can also leave you feeling calmer, energised and more focused. Physiotherapist and lymphatic drainage expert, She explains: 'After treatment, reduced bloating or constipation are the main benefits, and it helps settle IBS flare-ups. 'You feel lighter, flatter and less bloated. 'But it also helps with brain fog, memory, and improves your mental health, as some feel more energised, with greater focus and concentration. "But, it depends on each individual.' When is the best time to have lymphatic drainage? 'There is no best treatment time,' says Flavia. Read more on the Irish Sun 'Lymphatic treatments are recommended to flush out toxins and excess water retention from progesterone (PMS), but it is beneficial after a period to help with body detoxification.' While the effects of lymphatic drainage can be noticeable immediately, they can also last for up to ten days post treatment, depending on your metabolism and lifestyle, which is why Flavia recommends MLD every ten days.

But this couple have revealed the unique monikers they gave to their bumper brood - and they all start with the letter A. 2 The mum shared her kid's names in a viral TikTok video Credit: Tiktok/@thecollinskids 2 People had mixed reactions to their unique monikers Credit: Tiktok/@thecollinskids Karissa Collins, 42, from the US, went viral on In the clip, which has amassed over 10 million views, the mum stood with one of her youngest as they went through the whole family sharing their names, There was: Anchor, Anthem, Anderson, Answer, Aniston, Anisa, Angelie, Angel, Andre, Arrow and Armor. But after sharing the unique names people on TikTok weren't so sure what to make of them. READ MORE ON BABY NAMES Many thought the kids would grow up to be bullied because of their names, whilst others praised the mum for going outside the box with her choices. "They're going to get teased for those names later on, just cruel really," one person commented. "What's happening here? I had to listen again just to make sure I heard it right," a second wrote. "Bro just picked up a dictionary and started naming them in order," someone else joked. Most read in Fabulous "Anchovies was in the bathroom during filming," another joked. Others shared some other name suggestions for the mum, poking fun at her seemingly random A-names. Love Islander reveals US reality show girlfriend is pregnant with their first child together with romantic photoshoot "Armadillo, Alopecia, Avocado," one said. Meanwhile, others suggested: "Ancestor, Ambulance, Alphabet, Acne, Algorithm." Not everyone hates the names though, as one person said: "I love them, stunning children too." "You have a beautiful family," another chimed in. This isn't the first time the mum has faced backlash online though, as trolls roasted her when she revealed she'd been pregnant 15 times since the age of 25 and has barely had a break from baby bumps in nearly two decades. One again posting on the account Karissa and her husband, who've been married for 18 years, welcomed their first child back in their mid-20s and haven't looked back since. Karissa first became a mum at the age of 25, and has subsequently been pregnant when she was 27, 28, 29, 31, 32, 34, 35, 36, 39 and 40.

But while many cheer her on from the side-lines, Karissa also faces brutal backlash from trolls who claim her lifestyle is harmful, not just to her, but to her kids. One commenter raged: 'This is not okay – you barely have enough time for each child to get your attention. It's not even funny anymore, I feel bad for the kids.' Another slammed: 'You're hurting your kids by continuing to take attention away from them. No human can give the same amount of love to 12 different kids unless they never sleep.' Others accused the couple of only having children for content, saying the older kids must be doing the bulk of the work around the house. Still, Karissa isn't fazed. For her, motherhood isn't just a lifestyle, it's a calling. Banned Names in the UK The UK has no law restricting names, but names that contain obscenities, numerals, misleading titles, or are impossible to pronounce are likely to be rejected when registering a child.
