    What results are you looking for exactly?

    'Cause, to me, it kinda sounds like a trip to the ER because you passed out due to lack of oxygen.

    God no! That sounds awful. Any legitimate sources that I've read about wearing those corsets during exercise have said that they're not helpful and potentially damaging.

    Plus the Kardashians spruik them...what else do you need to know really. ;)

    Because she wants to damage her internal organs?

    im assuming you are referring to the latex waist trainers, like the ones made by bombshell curves? I was curious a while back about them too, supposedly they can help you sweat a little more in that particular area, but otherwise really have no use. if you REALLY want, you could use it during cardio to help remind yourself to constantly be engaging your abs and core and MAYBE sweat out a little more retained fluid but otherwise......no point. i had a conversation about them when i noticed one of the girls at my gym using one (happens to be an IFBB pro) and she was just trying it out becuase she had been given it for free but felt it didnt have much effect outside of reminding herself to keep her core tight. try this article

    I just want to point out that you are definetly not supposed to wear a real corset (steel boned, lace up in the back) while exercising.
    When you really tighten those, you are pressing on your organs. Plus, they can limit the expansion of your lungs, limiting your breathing capabilities. Not something you should be doing while working out.

    Do you mean a corset or one of those things that help you sweat?

    A corset? Really?

    I've never worn a corset, but I'm going to guess it sort of restricts your breathing a little bit. Wearing it while exercising isn't a good idea.

    Maybe it's a good idea if you like asphyxiation. But if not, then it's not a good idea.

    OMG no

    Unless you mean a lifting belt because of the weight

    But otherwise don't be an eejit ...return it and get your money back

    Or give me your money

    No ... a thousand times ... NO! I can't even imagine entertaining the idea of wearing a corset for 5 minutes around the house let alone exercising.

    When I was nearing my peak weight, I grabbed a cycling jersey which had always fit comfortably. I was in a bit of a hurry, so I just put it on, finished dressing and dashed out the door. We had to drive about half an hour to the start location, and by the time I go there I was so incredibly uncomfortable, I was almost in tears. That jersey was just barely OK when I was standing while getting dressed ... after half an hour sitting in the car it was way too tight. And that was one of the most uncomfortable rides I've ever done. It was just so tight. I ended up unzipping it as much as I could so I could breathe a little bit.

    After that experience ... nothing tight while exercising!

    No, and why would I deny myself the chance to develop core strength by relying on an external prosthetic to hold my guts in place?

    I'm talking about the black stretch waist training coreset to help with working out... I'm not meaning an actual coreset with metal... I didn't know what else to call it, my bad... I asked for advise not insults... Thanks to everyone who is actually trying to help me...

    After my c- section I have just had a terrible time trying to lose my stomach...I was just trying something different... I never knew it had so many bad results, that's why I asked you all before using it...please stop dogging on me.
  • BWBTrish
    BWBTrish Posts: 2,817 Member
    You made up your mind anyway so why ask?

    it is bad for your organs...very bad
    It doesn't help

    And on top of it you look ...hummm rofl well silly
    sorry for that.

    Put it on for an hour and dance sexy for your partner you burn calories you both have a heck of a time...he wont laugh or find you silly but will be all over you
    win win situation

    after that lock it up in your closet till the next "moment"


    enjoy lol+

    OP, you made the right decision mid-thread to take it back and save your money. Having a C-section is very hard on a woman's mid-section, but a waist trainer won't help you. Stick with a good lifting program and solid nutrition plan, and your body will improve. You will never have the same body you had pre-baby, but that doesn't mean you can't have an awesomely strong, beautiful, fit body. It'll just be different, and that's ok ;) Best wishes!

    i don't wear a corsette type but, do wear one of the waist ones around my belly bulge area when riding stationary bike.
    it is suppose to help your back when you work out and 'supposably' help burn off belly fat/water from the heat it generates or whatever it is.. i have no clue if it actually works but, i got the wrong type of stationary type bike (upright instead of the recumbent one that would of been better for my belly area) to workout on, so i bought the wrap for under &20 on a whim to make myself feel like i am helping my belly fat area too!
    it does indeed hold in the heat in my belly area and i have lost an inch but, doubt the wrap is the real reason why.

    They do seem to be very popular with young girls as my daughter came home with one. It's in the bin now!
