I don't even wear spanx because they make me miserable - I cannot see the benefit of something like this. Plus, how do you not toot the whole time you're wearing one?0

Same reason herbalife and shakeology and spirulina and vibration plates and whatever else are things. People want to believe in magic.
Don't forget red light therapy (or whatever it was).
Infrared sauna! My aesthetician is so sweet, she keeps offering to let me use her new infrared sauna for free. She's so into it. But normally she charges people $1/minute to sit in it...luckily she does know what she's doing when it comes to facials.0 -

This process allows toxins and impurities to exit the skin, while mobilizing fat cells. Put simply, the band helps ensure that your workout is working for you. Get 150% out of your normal workout!
This girdle helps you get the figure you always wanted by instantly lifting, shaping and slimming the body and flattening your stomach, waist and hips. To lose weight and reduce waist measurements, it is recommended to wear the girdle between 8 to 10 hours a day. The Slimming Thermal Brief is the only clinically proven girdle that helps reduce waist measurements from 1 to 4 inches within 30 days.
Bolded the most ridiculous parts.
Why do people insist on these ridiculous, nonsensical schemes? Why can't working out, accurately weighing/measuring and logging your food just be enough?

Corseting is not for everyone but you do need to do some research people. To have your "innards" move you have to wear one 24/7 for years and then the movement is minimal( ribs and a little of your intestines) and there are some risks when wearing like this. For instance a part of your intestines can get pinched and cause medical issues.Always talk to your doctor before wearing a corset so they can help you understand how it will affect your body.
There is no such thing as a corset diet they do not and will not ever make you lose weight. The only thing they do is yes restrict your movement, move your fat a little bit, and make it harder for you to overeat. Corsets are for shaping your waist. Like me for instance i wear a corset sometimes for about 8 hours a day for three days in a row, it gives me a waist for about a month and by the end of the month things have gone back to normal and I start over. Without doing this my waist is not visible (I'm straight as a board on my sides).
A corset is suppose to fit nicely without hurting in anyway, if it does you're wearing it wrong. There is no pain after taking it off either. You do sweat more while wearing one and yes that helps till you eat or drink again that's it.
I did extensive research before even thinking about it then some more before buying one. Please check your facts before trying said diets or jumping to conclusions about wearing corsets. lucycorsetry.com This young lady can give you a lot of insight on corseting.

On a side note I agree with you ManiacalLaugh if we could turn our fat into adorable little fat pets, that would be totally AWESOME. I love them so much just tooo cute.-5 -

Spanx are my personal hell. No size fits and they really just smush all of my fat from one place to another. Especially those ones that are like weird shorts. So instead of having fat at the top of your thighs, now all of your fat is around your knees and you look like a homemade sausage. Attractive.
I actually bought some Spanx to wear under a dress to a wedding a couple of weeks ago because I'm a glutten for punishment and I apparently hate being comfortable.
The pair were almost like wearing a one-piece strapless bathing suit... I figured it was the least evil pair on the rack and since I took a small break from the gym, I needed something that wouldn't make me look like I was in my second trimester. I was so uncomfortable from having to keep pulling the damn thing up that I took them off and stuffed them in my purse before the cake was cut.0 -

Also...I can barely wear "real" pants when I'm home lounging around my apartment. I can't even imagine trying to watch Netflix while suffering through wearing a corset.0 -

The whole corset thing goes right over my head. Basically what you are saying is that you wear, repeat, wear, repeat, etc. etc. to obtain a desired effect that is superficial. When you could be training your Transverse Abdominal Muscles.. you know.. your "inner corset" and actually have a lasting effect plus a stronger core to support you during your exercise.
Thank you. End mini rant.

What a highly entertaining thread.
I love the gifs!
So those Kardashians "swear by it" they call it "waste training" - so when any of those women "say" something some how it trickles into the main stream and normal people start thinking it's a good idea. The Illustration above that someone put regarding squishing the inner worms is spot on. They look great in costumes but seriously, for working out? NO0 -
I believe you mean waist training. Although waste is certainly more appropriate.What a highly entertaining thread. I love the gifs!

I'm sorry, but you believe that wearing a corset for 8 hours a day for 3 days gives you a waist, that you don't otherwise have, for a month?
Why do you think that is? It can't be dehydration can it because that goes as soon as you eat or drink? And it's certainly not strengthening or building your muscles ...I'm at a loss as to how that could possibly be true unless it is significantly moving your internal organs...which we all know it doesn't really in short term use0 -

Lol, For now yes i wear and repeat, not while exercising. I am slowly getting to where I can do more of said exercises, I wasn't able to before. Even now that i have lost some weight around my middle and started making my muscles stronger I still have no waist. Like i said straight as a board on the sides. I was like that in high school when i was doing crazy exercises and had muscles. Its just the way i was built. I don't want to go extreme with it so the repeating comes into play. I just want to look good in my eyes and to have a difference in my hips and waist is proffered.Corseting is not for everyone but you do need to do some research people.

Yeah. A friend who was a burlesque dancer did this for a while and she sure regrets it now in her 40s. Body modification like this isn't something that should be touted as a fitness thing...it boggles my mind.

It's not because of dehydration I eat and drink while wear it, It definitely doesn't strengthen or build anything, It's not moving anything but the fat around my waist. Thats it that is why it is temporary. Yes it is cosmetic untill i can get back into shape and maybe since i have had kids i will have a waist and not ever need it anymore.0 -

I didn't workout with a corset on nor would I ever recommend that. But I did wear belly bands just a stretchy material around my waist while working out (think spanks). I didn't expect to lose weight from it I just wore it to make me a little more conscience to keep my core engaged.0

But you said the effects of 3 x 8 hour sessions stayed in place for a month
That is a significant effect ..fat cells don't move ..so it must be something else, don't you think?0 -
they're not worth your money. That's a girdle, not a corset. Firstly, don't exercise with a corset on, it can lead to injury, major injury. BUT if you find a spiral steel boned corset you can wear that under clothes or around the house, really helps with preventing stomach expansion. So you eat way less. but please don't waste money on this thing or wear something to the gym you could hurt yourself in.0
