Understanding the differences between steel boned corsets and latex waist trainers and what each of them can do is a very important part of educating yourself if you are considering waist training. We tend to refer to the current trend of latex “waist trainers” (yes, the Kim Kardashian variety) as “waist taming”, as there is no way to truly cinch them and even the firmest latex can’t compare to stainless steel boned corsets.
What is Waist Training?
The most basic definition of waist training is the process of using a steel boned corset to modify your waist into an hourglass shape. Steel boned corsets are worn for many reasons and situations. Some people wear them as a fashion statement, while others wear under clothing for back and posture support. However, many women are looking for that classic hourglass figure to really turn heads. The hourglass figure is attained with long term wear of a corset as your body 'molds' itself to take shape of the corset. Weight loss tends to happen if worn daily during meals mainly because the corset also acts as an external LAP band, not allowing you to eat large quantities while wearing the corset.
Is Waist Training Dangerous?
If you are willing to use common sense and listen to your body, then, no, waist training is not dangerous. We suggest the use safe and sane corsetry practices anytime you wear a corset. Use this as a rule of thumb- If it hurts, your doing it wrong. The idea of no pain, no gain does not apply here. A corset does not have to be uncomfortable to give you a gorgeous hourglass figure. Slow and steady is the rule of thumb for waist training.
What Results Can You Expect From Waist Training?
The first thing you would notice from waist training is change in your waist as your waist is the first thing to begin transforming with corset wear. You will then begin to see your belly flatten. As your waist becomes the size of your corset closed you can then size down if you wish. The results of waist training are dependent on a LOT a factors such as: how long you wear a corset each day, how many days per week you wear a corset, how tightly laced the corset is, are you following a weight loss regimen and finally genetics.
How often do I have to wear the Corset?
For the first 21 days you have to follow the seasoning schedule to break-in your corset. Lots of women report already seeing results while seasoning. Breaking in a corset, also known as seasoning, is important for the corset, but it’s also a chance for your body to get used to wearing it. After your corset if fully seasoned, you can wear it as often or as little as you would like, but the more often you wear it the faster you see results.
