Things You're Dying to Know About Waist Training
An expert corset maker explains why waist training offers more than just a trimmed-down torso
Why do you think waist training has become popular again?
There has been a gradual return to celebrating the feminine form over the last decade, and several celebrities have contributed to this shift in "ideal body type". This started with Dita Von Teese, and now Christina Hendricks, Beyoncé, Kim Kardashian, and Nicki Minaj are also capturing lots of public attention, not only for their talents, but their figures: voluptuous and very small waisted.
What's involved in the process?
To genuinely reduce your waist, it's necessary to wear a corset on a fairly regular basis. Daily is ideal, but even a few times a week will affect your waist's flexibility.
What are the benefits/results of waist training?
Speaking for myself, I notice that the more often I wear a corset, the easier it is to pull my waist in, and the longer I wear it regularly, the more dramatic the results. One of the benefits I've seen from corset wearing, not just waist training specifically, is that people see themselves in a different light, often seeing a shapely waist in the mirror, maybe for the first time ever. Since, as a society, we value slenderness, it can be very empowering to simply lace on a waist as it were.
