Waist training is the process of using a steel-boned corset to modify your waist into an hourglass shape with semi-permanent results.

They are latex body-fitting materials that are used for waist training.

Waist trainers are mostly used by women who want to get the perfect flat tummy and abs when they have flabby or excess fat in their abdominal area.

Wearing a waist trainer out is normal now, but some dangers accompany it that every woman should know.

• Causes the organs to shift

Waist trainers have the instant effect of making you look slimmer at your waist, but it also tends to destroy your body structure from the inside.

Constant wearing of the waist trainer will lead to change or shift of the abdominal organs like the intestine to shift downwards because of the pressure the waist trainer puts on the tummy.

• Does not reduce fat in the long run

You don’t reduce or lose tummy fat if you use the waist trainer rather it shifts it somewhere else. Even if you do, it is only temporary. Some experts also believe that regularly wearing a waist trainer can actually decrease core strength, the opposite of that sexy stomach you are aiming for.

• It’s not good for exercise

Contrary to what people think that waist trainers are good when exercising, they are actually more dangerous. Waist trainers do not let you breathe and restrict abdominal movements.

You are supposed to allow room for breathing when exercising because the lungs are also working. Wear tummy belts to help with shaping your tummy instead.

• Leads to dehydration and difficulty in breathing

Waist trainers make it hard for you to breathe and you also feel dehydrated, especially when doing extraneous work or exercises. This is why you have to condition to know how you feel when wearing waist trainers.

Waist Trainers do have their benefits, but knowing when to stop using them that is important. You don’t wear waist trainers alone and expect a miracle to happen the way you want. You have to add regular exercises, like planks

• Leads to back pains

Constant wearing of waist trainers might lead to back pains and also changes in body posture. Your body begins to deform around the waist and thighs. That is why waist trainers leave a mark on the ones addicted to wearing it.

One of them is Nigerian reality star, Uriel, who did not just oppose Miss Nelson’s case, but schooled her on what she ‘failed to know’.

Miss Nelson, in a tweet, suggested that no slimming tea or waist trainers have the potency of giving women their desired snatched waist, and as such they should not be deceived by companies or influencers.

She went on to say that except for genetics, surgery or conscious efforts in a gym, the race for a flat tummy is a never-ending and fruitless one.

Her comments traveled to the ears of Uriel, also a waist training influencer, after she was tagged by some of her customers.

She gave her two cents while educating Miss Nelson on the effectiveness of waist trainers, and how the action is a centuries-old technique.

Insisting her rebuttal is from a place of honesty rather than drama, Uriel said waist trainers do not only structure the body but help users maintain a healthy lifestyle.

She made reference to the era where newborn mothers strap their tummies with clothes to lose belly fat, educating that waist trainers are just a replacement for fabric.

“Waist training helps structure the body while you maintain a healthy lifestyle. We are Africans, right? What happens after African women give birth? We bind/tie our stomach right? Now if that isn’t old-school waist training then I don’t know. So does waist training work? Look through my pictures I combine everything, Diet small small workout.
from a size 16 to now,” she said.

As a woman who has struggled with her weight previously, Uriel said the waist trainers uplift her physically and emotionally, as it gives her confidence in her body.

“.. when you put on a trainer and you can finally fit into a dress that feeling is gold!!! Work?? Let’s explore the Narrative of working?? Is it physical working or emotional?? Because it does both. I can testify that the slim tea from the brand I represent works. I won’t tag them before you say na Ad. But just look at my page. I didn’t do surgery so it must work,” she contributed to the ongoing debate.

According to her, there is no way these products will give ladies the curvy body they are after because “it never works that way”.

She explained that, apart from seeing a plastic surgeon, one can be curvy through their mothers’ genes or by visiting the gym but not through slimming teas and waist trainers that are continuously advertised by some celebrities online.
