Hourglass shaped items can be found all over this world. Instruments, time keepers and of course women all have this appealingly curvaceous shape.
Check out the 11 hourglass shaped innovations we have to offer, from instruments to coffee makers. Also, be sure to take your time checking out this cluster: we promise we won't let the sand run out on you!

By creating products that cater to the hourglass as well as glorify the shape, women will become more accepting of their curves. The hourglass shape has become a powerful symbol in society that is increasingly becoming woman's desire concerning body shape.
