KODENSHI Aulora Pants Review

I worn it on and off for a few weeks. It is actually comfortable to wear, but I am not sure if it actually benefited me in any ways.

My mom, who I bought it from to support her side gig, told me that I should wear it the entire morning, and then perhaps hang it to dry itself in the room - nowhere too hot at night. I was to hand-wash the pants with gentle detergent every few days.

There's quite a lot of care that needs to go into one single pair of pants, and I know that I'm supposed to get the good effects if I wear it routinely - a.k.a. everyday, as often as I can wear it. But it's not very good for hygiene when I can only wash it once every 4-7 days. The fact that one pair of pants cost over RM700 also does not help, because I can't afford to buy two pairs to clean and wear in each other's place.

So... what I can say is it feels comfy.

It makes my tummy looks skinnier wearing the high waist band thing and that's a nice bonus I can live with. It doesn't give me those uh... chaffs? I think that's the word for it.

I don't feel any healthier, nor do I see any improvements in other aspects.

My 30+ y/o colleague who worn that for a bit as well told me that maybe it's not as beneficial to me simply because I'm still young and don't have the 'old people' issues.

My grandma did have better phisique after wearing it long-term though. At the beginning, she even needed help wearing the AULORA pants. My mom had to help her put it on, because she was so old and her back wasn't good enough for her to stretch those pants over her legs anymore.

About 2-3 months in my grandma was able to walk just fine, and was able to wear the pants by herself. That's good to see :)

I guess I'll recommend these pants more to the elderly who has difficulties walking, primarily. I don't know about the other perks that this pair of pants supposedly has.

Aite so my own momma Stella Chen is tryna bring in some side hustle money by selling:

️KODENSHI® Fiber Heat-retention AULORA Pants

Just a simple pants packaging - nothing much else to see.

When she told me how she's selling these pants as a side income thing from her kindergarten teacher role, I facepalmed. I mean, guys. How many of y'alls would see a post like this and not think it's scammy? I was and am still ready to stop her if this turns out to be yet another false hope product and stuff.

Note: I have not tried these pants, so this is definitely not a product testimony post. I have, however, just purchased a pair from my mum to show her some support. She has managed to sold 7 pairs in the past month so I figured, why not show her some support? To be perfectly honest, I was amazed that she even managed to sell 7. So... I'll update you guys in about 2 months - this product is set to be delivered to me after about 1 month.

Dubious as I was, I dug into this product and looked for more info. Here's what I found so far.

These pants are made with advanced️ Japan️ technology enabling ultra-fine ceramic particles to be embedded within the pants' fibers👖

And what do we know about ceramic?
It retains heat ♨️

Yep, so Aulora pants uses this ️KODENSHI® technology to help alleviate the cold from our body and instead, circulate heat between the cloth surface and our skin - a simple basis to help our body stay warm and eliminate some fats by heat retention 🔄🔄

When you wear 👖Aulora pants👖 with just the right size that fits you well, the compression properties of these pants can further help you retain the heat close to your skin surface, regulating blood flow waist down.

You can read a brief explanation on this technology on
KODENSHI® Official Site at
http://www.firbest.co.jp/English/about/ ⏩⏩🔎

If you want to delve into the specifics, there's a study with a graph result of how much heat it absorbs etc on the link provided above.

What I like about these pants at first glance is that it has a unique ergonomic stitching style.

About 20 different segments are also stitched together to allow better flexibility and customized compression, thickness & pressure from our ankles up to our waist. It has:

✅ 22.0hPa pressure/compression around ankles, 12.0hPa around upper thighs
⭕ Helps to push bloodflow back from our bottom half to our upper half - better, faster blood circulation

✅ Wide waistband
⭕ Maintains & shapes your stomach and waist

✅ Customized cut for men & women
⭕ Better effect, better comfort & fitting for different gender body type.

Well, it's just a pair of pants - I can't give 10 bullet points about the advanced technology embedded in a pair of pants, but it does make sense how thees little things can help to shape you up a little effortlessly 💆‍♂️💆‍♂️

If you want testimonials I have several relatives who have already bought the pants from her and actually slimmed down quite some 💁‍♀️💁‍♀️ If you aren't questioning the legitimacy of other people's online testimony about this product, I have already seen several other posts reviewing how they have slimmed down or lost a few kilograms just from wearing this pants day in and day out for a week or so.

Dubious, suspicious and downright scammy, I know, but hey, there are some before and after pictures there that you can take into consideration for when you decide whether or not to purchase a pair and try it out yourself.

It'll also be worth noting that she's selling these pants as part of:

BE International Marketing Sdn. Bhd. (Co. No. 1199078-X)

A preview of the BEInt website. Don't be scared off by the prices though - I bought from my mum at a much lower rate.

...and they also sell other beauty products that reduces skin pigmentation, gives smoother skin etc - surprisingly people that I personally know also have seen results from these products💆‍♂️💆‍♂️ My mum herself has skin pigmentation issues inherited from her parents, and she's thinking of trying out those products herself now that she has seen some results from other people too.

She's usually as dubious about these products as I am, so to see her promising great results like this... well.

I have to say 'surprisingly' two paragraphs above because I really doubt the legitimacy of products like this but since it worked... Maybe you guys can consider these products too 💁‍♀️

So yes, anyhow, it's actually an actual, legit company. Half of my worries about my mom being scammed were gone when I found out that this place has an actual, physical store. They further introduced other aspects of this pants - including its sizes and what you can expect to get from these pants 💯💯

Read up for more info from BE Int. itself here:
https://www.beintl.com/be-kodenshi-women.jsp (for women💁‍♀️)
https://www.beintl.com/be-kodenshi-men.jsp (for men💁‍♂️)

It has different cutting for males' and females' bodyshape needs, which I find to be a great feature that clothing pieces like this should have.

and contact my 💞sweet💖beloved💓lil'💕momma💞 for exclusive lower rate pricing & purchase. It's gonna be shipped directly from Japan to your front door!

She's still not too well-versed with fast-typing, English and social media in general so do bear with her if she replies a little late! Or you can also just liaise with me and I can pass your questions to her.

Maybe check back with me in 2 months' time cause I also bought a pair from her just so that I can also testify if it works.

Alright just let me rant.

Freelancing can be good extra money. I work my full-time job, and then I return home to work on my freelance work, and I can earn more than my full-time job's monthly income just from my freelancing job. It's good money, it is. But when you might be having your PMS and you become really easy to piss off, the zen and endless patience that you are known for just dissolves, rots and disappears like Logan Paul's popularity.

Here's shit that I want to complain about.

You will meet employers who pay you only after you bug them endlessly for days and lodge a report against them. "Don't worry, we will pay you today." You wait today, tomorrow, and the next entire week and there will be no progress. They will contact you when they need you to work, but when you send a message regarding payments, they will leave your messages unread.

You will meet employers who say, "Relax. I've been here a long while. Your pay won't go anywhere" and refuse to use the safe payment options which guarantees that you will get paid. "Please accept the pending milestone so that I can continue working," you might say. They will blast you with a series of "Don't worry" and "Don't worry" and did I mention more "Don't worry"?

You will meet employers who give you vague instructions and expect you to understand, refusing to elaborate more and then ask for endless revisions when you follow the vague instructions. "U dnt understn the work dear." Of course I don't. That's why I asked. Don't 'dear' me. It's disgusting and it makes me want to punch you in the face.

You will meet cheap-ass bastards who want to pay you $0.50 for a 300-word article or maybe pay you $3 for a 1000-word article. "This is going to be a long-term project so please bid accordingly."
Dear sirs and missuses, how about I employ you to do my job for me but I pay you like $2 each day. It's long-term afterall. You can do it until you retire. How does that sound?

You will meet bid wasters. A lot of freelancing job sites require you to use a bidding system. You want to get pure profit without purchasing extra bids? There's bid wasters for that. You have extra bids that you worked hard to pay for? There's bid wasters for that too. "Contact me on Skype for more information." How about no and fuck off?

You will meet creepers. "I'm looking for an open-minded virtual assistant to hold video calls and phone calls with me." Don't even bother with those. You see the word 'open-minded' and 'video calls' linked together, you run. That's what you do.

You will meet unreasonable buyers. You can tell them "I can only work on flexible hours since I have a full-time job. I should be able to write about 2 - 3K words daily at max." and they will still bug you non-stop as if they did not know about your full time job even if you remind them again and again.

You will meet assholes and asshats and asses in general. You will also meet cunts and dicks and twats and donkeys; whatever swear word that is trending where you come from.

You will meet all of these and still struggle to find the inner peace and patience in you that lets you reply or send a message to them nicely so that at least you are being a decent human being, all just so that your chat won't be reported and your account won't be closed. The easier solution?

"Hi *Name*, I don't think that I can work with you anymore. You are not very reasonable to work with and I prefer not to continue our collaboration. Please release any pending payments and we can discuss further after that if you have any other requests."

I have finally managed to get $300 in pending payment today after more than a week of trying to get a buyer to release the pending amount. Keep in mind that the works have been approved and revisions have been made. Keep in mind also, that it was agreed upon that the payments should be released within 48 hours after the work is approved.

I finally got my money, but I'm still pissed.

Maybe it's the birth control medication that I am trying.

And now, lunch time.

Also, I'm grateful for all the good buyers that I managed to work with. Thank you guys for being pleasant and releasing the funds on time and all your clear instructions, etc etc.

Bless.

Hey there guys,

I have been inactive for some time now, and that's because aside from my full-time job, I have some time afterwards to spend with my man (the best part of everyday. I love you darlin'), and when he leaves, I'll be working on my Freelance jobs.

That makes my daily life look something like this:

7.30a.m. - Reaches workplace and works on miscellaneous tasks & freelance jobs
8.30a.m. - Actual Full-Time Job
6.00p.m. - Quality time with my man
8.30p.m. - Freelance jobs
11.00p.m. - Getting some sleep

I have accounts on several freelancing platforms - Freelancer.com, People Per Hour, Guru.com & Fiverr. I joined UpWork a little too late and there is more than enough content writers there at the moment, so I could not get my account approved. Of the 4 platforms I have joined, I have earned through 3 of them - not Fiverr.

Guru.com and People Per Hour was quite decent with their free accounts, but Freelancer.com provided a one-month free trial as a premium member, which allowed me to have more than 309 bids to waste on scam assignments & cheap Indian prices (Not that I meant to be racist, but seriously, offering a non-negotiable rate of $2 for 1000 words with endless restrictions & conditions?)

I am still relatively new to the freelance jobs on Freelancer.com, and sad to say, I have been scammed for my work quite a little. Here's what I learnt from the scammers of Freelancer.com.

1) Check their profiles

Signs of a No-Go Buyer

Let's see. No verified e-mail, no verified phone number, account incomplete, no payment verification and has not made a deposit. 0 reviews. Fishy. Mouse over the star ratings, and you see this:

GO THE OTHER WAY. REPORT. ABORT MISSION.

2. The Price

Is the price too low?

3. Off-site Communication

Requests for off-site communication should be avoided wherever possible

I have some mixed feelings about this. Most of the scammers like to communicate on Skype and pay you through Paypal or some other external sources rather than work with you on the freelancing platform. If the user has no ratings and immediately asks you to start communicating with them on Skype, that's not a good sign. Based on my personal experience, these users are repeated offenders for scamming users and can be reported fairly quickly. Even if they have pending milestones (pending payments that supposedly have non way to be cancelled) there are cases where the accounts will be closed immediately on Freelancer.com before the money gets through. It's either that, or you end up writing 20 articles at a rate that is too good to be true, and later get ghosted when it's time to pay up. You can refer to my portfolio or recent scammed works here, published just so that the buyers of my articles can never use them since they will detect a 100% plagiarism based on my site - scammed-freelancers.blogspot.com.
