Sturdier than an everyday waist trainer, workout waist trainers usually have a latex core. Many are designed to be worn outside clothing. Steel-boned trainers. More traditional in design, these waist trainers are reinforced with flexible steel boning and typically include tightening laces in the back. Most waist trainers claim to shape your waist into a sculpted silhouette or help with weight loss. Are the claimed benefits of waist training true? Although not supported by the medical community, proponents of waist training claim that waist training garments can result in: An hourglass figure When the waist trainer is put on and tightened, many people feel that it gives them a more attractive figure with an impressively slim waist, accentuated bust, and curvy hips. The concept is that if you wear the waist trainer for long enough periods, your body will be trained to maintain that shape. This claim has been widely disputed by doctors and medical organizations. They suggest that waist trainers don’t provide long-term shaping benefits. Better posture While you’re wearing a waist trainer, it’s likely that you’ll maintain good posture. There’s a concern, however, that wearing a waist trainer too much may weaken your core muscles which could lead to poor posture and back discomfort.

If your stomach is compressed, it’s likely that you’ll reach a feeling of fullness faster than if your stomach was not being squeezed. Weight loss Although there’s anecdotal evidence of weight loss during waist training, it is most likely due to fluid loss from perspiration. Waist trainer side effects The concern about the side effects of waist training is the potential for physical damage.
