So one of the girls in my office has been telling me about corset waist trainers.....it sounds like the best thing in the world BUT it sounds far to good to be true?
Can you really drop a dress size? Has anyone ever used one and if so what were your results?
Thanks

It's just another fad that won't provide any results. If it sounds too good, it is.0

If you do serious corset training your waist size will probably decrease. However, your body fat won't be any lower, you won't be any fitter, and you risk damaging your internal organs if you aren't careful. It takes a long time and is a serious thing, not just something people do on a whim.0

My organs like where they're located right now, I'll keep them there.0

squeezing your body means squeezing your internal organs and also making it harder to breathe. there's a reason women in the victorian and previous times who wore corsets used to faint all the time.0

It's not only your organs that risk shifting. Your ribs can shift curvature.
I know some people are going to look at this (and the other warnings) and go, "Eh, everything has risks," but this is not one worth the time unless you've already lost the weight and want that Masuimi Max cinched waist look.0 -

geoiggs, your comment makes no sense. Some women are strippers. Some women wear stilletos. Not all women who wear stilletos are strippers.0

Not healthy, esp. not for long-term.
Can cause permanent disfigurement of the ribs & organs.
They are used to help recovery in spinal cord injuries, and sometimes to correct scoliosis, and for that they are beneficial, but I suspect the design is quite different from the fashion or fetish ones your co-worker is talking about.

I do believe you missed the joke. Why so serious?0 -
I'm glad you posted this...don't believe the hype...I can't imagine how an undergarment regardless of how tightly you zip it can actually invoke any fat loss...body shapers like Spanx...do help you look more slim in nice formal wear but death to those ridiculous corsets and dumb body fat creams. ugh.0

It won't make you lose weight. It just shoves the fat up and down.
Corsets sucked. That's why better things were invented and embraced.
Just get some Spanx.0 -
Find a good core workout. It will train your waist much better and I have seen some free apps no$$$$ spent.0

Corset waist training is misunderstood and often misused. It's not meant for weightloss, first of all. With a properly adjusted corset, you literally cannot eat very much because all your organs are squished together. It can also cause problems with blood flow and even cause fainting. It CAN make you drop inches in your waistline over time if the corset is TIGHT because it REARRANGES YOUR ORGAN LOCATION. You're not losing fat, you're just forcing it - and your organs - to be elsewhere.
Read that again. You are basically forcing a new shape on your body by wearing a garment so tightly and for so long it shifts to adjust. Similar to how in China they used to do foot binding the force an unnatural shape on the foot which eventually becomes permanent.0 -
^^^yup.
wearing a corset =/= tight lacing or waist training.
I wear a corset occasionally- and gladly.
but I would never consider tight lacing- it's a long term body manipulation technique to physically force a new shape on to your body- which does bad things to bones and internal organs.
is bad.
just wear corsets for the Renn Faire and fun times with your SO. Otherwise - diet and exercise.0
