What is a waist trainer? Do waist trainers work?

Have you ever wondered if waist trainers work? And if so, how and where do you start? We've answered all your questions here.
Consider this your Waist Training 101 guide.

What is a waist trainer?

A waist trainer is a corset-like compression garment, with boning and worn discreetly beneath clothing, snugly encircles your midsection. By cinching your waist, it offers both smoothing and support, secured in place with either zippers or hooks.

How do waist trainers work?

Waist trainers work by moderately compressing your waist, proving support and help with your posture.

What are the benefits of wearing a waist trainer?

Wearing a waist trainer daily can help correct your posture and prevent slouching. With moderate compression, our waist trainers can cinch your waist towards an hourglass-like figure. They can be a great option for postpartum. If you're curious about waist trainers, make sure to select the correct size and style for your body and start your waist training journey with us!

Can a waist trainer sculpt your waist?

Waist trainers provide core smoothing, compression, and support, enhancing your silhouette for an hourglass figure. Pairing seamlessly with our sculpting bodysuits completes the ensemble, ensuring a cinched waist and polished appearance.

Can waist trainers improve your posture?

When you wear a waist trainer, it exerts pressure on your midsection, encouraging elongation and alignment of the spine, which in turn improves posture. With regular use, this can lead to a more upright and balanced body position over time.

Are waist trainers safe?

Waist trainers are generally safe if worn correctly. They are supposed to apply moderate pressure around your midsection but never too tight (ouch!). You should be able to breath, move and wear for several hours without excessive discomfort. We recommend consulting your doctor with questions. Remember, do not wear a waist trainer too tight, do not wear it to sleep and take it off right away if you experience any shortness of breath, numbness or excessive discomfort.

Can you sleep with a waist trainer?

We do not recommend you sleep with a waist trainer. Your body regenerates while you sleep, you should not add extra pressure while you're resting. 

How long do waist trainers take to work?

You should see results within 1-3 weeks after consistently wearing your waist trainer daily. We always recommend measuring yourself before starting your waist training journey so you can see your progress.
