BENEFITS AND MISCONCEPTIONS: (read carefully)

Wearing waist-cinching garments may provide temporary physical benefits such as a smaller waistline and an overall thinner appearance, and may also offer health benefits. Wearing a corset or other compression garment for a long time could give the wearer the advantage of back support and posture control because of the binding and cinching effect. The boning, elastic or rubber material of the waist cincher also gives those who wear them added abdominal support, which can be helpful in reminding you to sit up straight throughout the day or not to overeat. 

 

An orthopedic surgeon and founding partner of Beach Cities Orthopedics and Sports Medicine, finds merit to some of these benefits. One benefit the may be overlooked about waist trainers and wraps are their ability to help an individual activate their abdominal core muscles and inspire good posture. Possibly, if they are worn a bit loose as to not completely smash the waist but still pull in one's tummy, the trainers could have a lasting benefit. 

 

It's important to note that waist training should be an addition to your healthy diet and consistent exercise regimen, not a substitute for one. There is a science to modern waist training, and its one that's similar to sauna suits, most often used by athletes to sweat out extra water weight. The latex in cinchers boost thermal activity and increase perspiration. 

Like any fitness regimen, its best to listen to your body's cues, but with the firm compression around your midsection, your skin will sweat in your target area. 

 

IF ANY DISCOMFORT OR SKIN IRRITATION, PLEASE DISCONTINUE USE. IF DISCOMFORT CONTINUES, SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION.

IF HAVE ANY MEDICAL CONDITIONS, PLEASE SEEK MEDICAL ADVISE BEFORE WAIST TRAINING.
