I love looking at the results.
But that said, there ARE a number of potential risks inherent with the stresses it places on the body structure. Experts generally agree that there’s no way it can really work on a sustained basis—and it might do bodily harm.
“Medically, it doesn’t make sense that cinching your waist tightly will make it permanently smaller,” says Mary Jane Minkin, M. D., clinical professor of ob-gyn at Yale School of Medicine. "Once you take the garment off, your body will [attempt to] return to its usual shape. It’s also uncomfortable, restricts your movements, and if you wear it really tight, it can even make it difficult to breathe and theoretically could cause rib damage.”

I’ve seen a video where a woman wears this super tight corset for hours a day to shrink her waist. I don’t think that’s healthy at all. All you can really do is lose body fat in that area, so exercise and eat properly
I don't understand why they call it 'training', it's literally damaging your body, your ribs, and your organs. Everything inside is pushed bellow leaving someone eventually with health problems. It's fake and damaging.
I love it. I already have a small waist but I’ve been considering buying an actual corset for a long time.
It improves your posture and reduces your waist by a few inches. It can be unhealthy IF YOU OVER DO IT.

Bad for your organs. Just do planks and core exercises and alter your diet. Safer. Healthier. Longer lasting, better results.
I started working out about 5 weeks ago. Just doing body weight exercises. I've lost 1 inch in my waist, I have a 6 pack coming in, I've gained 2 inches in my butt, 1 in my chest, and 4 in my biceps. And that's over 5 weeks WITHOUT weights.As long as you don't rush too much too fast it's fine and won't harm your body. I used to waist train with steel-boned corsets in my early 20s and loved it. It's not a replacement for living a healthy lifestyle and working out, but with enough consistent wear, it will help alter your shape.
I was curious and tried it years ago but it hurt my ribs and I was like hell no after a couple days. Plus I researched it and read a lot of bad things about it... I just stick to diet and exercise waist training was not worth the pain or risks for me.
These men who are encouraging saying that all they care is looks and all and waist training is good are the leading cause of mental disorders in women. -.-
Waist training is the kind of decision that one really has to be responsible and careful with. As long as they do it the proper way then it is a great way to enhance a woman's body shape. However I personally feel like it is not for everyone.I wore one awhile back. I would wear it for 8 hrs. A day. It worked! After a month I noticed a huge difference. I’m going to start again soon. I’m fat again lol
My philosophy is that I want a physically attractive partner, but I don't give a damn how she became so.
It's not healthy, and the fact that people actually buy them shows just how much pressure is on young women to fit an unrealistic, and often unhealthy beauty standard.
It can damage your internal systems if done to the extreme. Just don't think of eating a normal meal because your intestines will be all compressed and you will most likely have constant constipation as well as stomach aches. Is it really worth it?
I prefer blood flow , oxygen flow, healthy esentusl others and a functioing brain.
It is the epitome of stupidity. in my opinionI don't know if I could suck in my waist that much, but I do enjoy the feeling of a tight belt.
If you research it then sure. I fully support people doing absolutely dumb shit so long as they know what they are doing
It's bad for you people pass out and squishes your organs
Eh.. do so very carefully after a ton of research. Consistency is key though.
This cannot be good for your ribs and internal organs
Tbh, if that actually helps to define your waist, I'm in
I've done it in a very relaxed way. Like just wearing spanks but it helps my posture. Of course all in excess is unhealthy, so you should totally be careful if you try it.
It's just super weird that people do it. I don't understand it.
in my opinion it is a waste of time. It gets no results & can be dangerous.
I would rather exercise and avoid the risks waist trainers can cause.
It's really painful and unhealthy
I thought corsets were in the past
Besides it can't change your bones structure, bust-hip ratio if your hips are disproportionate/much wider to your bust (known as "pear shape")
