do any of you use waist trainers while you work out or any other time? I wear a waist trainer either when I'm working out(2 hours) or when I got to bed (for 8+ hours). Have any of you found success with these?

No, i wouldn't touch one. If you want to reduce your waist, just eat at a calorie deficit.14

Nope - I would rather strengthen my core than weaken it and I like my organs where they are.22

Not a good idea!!! Leave your internal organs alone when you sleep.9 -
I don't really know anything about waist trainers so I'm going to talk about corsets which I do know about. If your waist trainer isn't made with steel bones and non-stretchy fabric then it will have less effect than a corset.
It's impossible to train your waist permanently. People have reduced their waists using corsets but when you stop wearing one regularly (23 hours a day, seven days a week) your waist will go back to it's natural measurements. Wearing a corset for the hours you mention wouldn't really do anything (except that your core muscles wouldn't receive any benefit from your workout). That said, they're not likely to do you any real harm either.5 -

lol. no and no.3 -
No...and if anyone else tells you they have success with waist trainers it's because they are actually reducing their waist through eating at a calorie deficit.7

No. Read about corsets and waist training and if you're not put off by organ displacement and atrophied muscles then go for it...7
-
Like others have said... If your goals are possibly dangerous organ rearrangement and core weakening then look into it. Otherwise stay away. What you want from them isn't going to happen.3

Honestly, from what I can see via google, most waist trainers aren't reducing the waist by much, if at all. They're more like spanx than a corset so organ displacement isn't a factor. Even if it was, whilst organ displacement sounds horrific your body is quite capable of it as it's necessary during pregnancy. Whether it's safe long term has never been studied. A lot of the warnings against corseting come from the Victorian era and aren't scientific at all, modern medicine hasn't looked at the effects of corseting presumably because there aren't many people that do it for long periods.6

No, I've got a pretty good *kitten*-detector.3

I literally can't even with Spanx after a few hours.3

And those do nothing for your waist. Remove it and minutes later your waist is the way it was before you put it on. So why spend the money?5 -

Agreed. I wouldn't bother. It seems like another fad designed to make money.1 -
How are you defining "Success with those?"
Because your waist isn't a child or animal to be trained, and your waist isn't a plant that you can train up a trellis. And your waist also doesn't have any bones in it that you can force to bend in a certain way as they grow (and even if it did, you're an adult so its too late for that.).
What is "success" here?

Why are you resurrecting posts from 2016 and 2017 to spruik these?2 -
Ain't do to the waist trainer because you DON'T burn excess calories from using it. It may make you EAT LESS due to the pressure put on your stomach. But what are you going to do? Wear it everytime you eat when you go out? Weight loss happens with eating less than you burn. Waist trainers are gimmicks to sell to people who have really no idea how weight loss works.dominicantummy wrote: »do any of you use waist trainers while you work out or any other time?
