    All I can do is picture some dude with tacky tight pants, thigh high shiny boots, a pencil-thin mustache and a whip he's cracking at your waist that he wants to jump through some hoops or something.

    I feel very old reading about "waist trainers".

    Only because the derp about them has been around for so long! :)

    There's nothing to debate

    They are nonsensical

    I just don't get the point. I haven't seen proof that they work and I just don't think I could bring myself to spend money on something like that.

    I also feel like every time I took it off I'd feel horrible about myself since my waist wouldn't actually be as skinny as it looked before lol

    They, and corsets, are good for a once off 'streamlined look' which give structure to wobbly tums if you have a special occasion, but they are uncomfortable to wear for more than a few hours at a time, not recommended if you're sitting down for a formal meal.

    I use a waist trainer, but I use it as shapewear, like really powerful spanx. It makes a real difference in the way you look in clothes, but it doesn't do diddly to 'train' your waist, as far as I can tell. If you want a slim waist and some abs, start progressive weight training compound movements with a barbell or dumbbells. Muscle is the best corset
