Do waist trainers work and are they safe?

Yes, waist training does work and they are safe when realistic precautions are taken. Some people purchase shapewear that is too small and create rash and discomfort. Some people state that waist trainers squeeze your organs which is not true. Surprising to belief many organs are covered with fascia, bones, and skin which keep them for the most part safe. Some women have had surgeries such as hysterectomies, or gall bladder removal and wonder if it is safe to wear. When organs removed sometimes other organs can shift because what was anatomically there originally is removed and the organ that was once there to hold it in place is gone. Shapewear can aid in helping maintain organ support and structure. If at any time, you are wearing a garment and it is unbearable it should immediately be removed. Many people report they feel better and more support overall with shapewear. After childbirth, it is very helpful in helping your uterus return to its normal size and reduce belly size and skin laxity.

If your desire is to reduce in the midsection and minimally in the back area, the waist trainer is best for you.

The trainer vest will eliminate this problem because that area will be properly covered by the garment.
