Waist training is one of the hottest trends for new mums. The trend, which has been widely promoted by celebrities like Kim Kardashian, Jessica Alba and Ciara, gives credit to waist trainers in helping them regain their pre-pregnancy bodies. Now non-celebrity mums are following the celebrity’s lead and jumping on the waist trainer bandwagon in attempt to get that perfect hourglass body after giving birth. Mums who do not have time or the money to hit the gym every day can now work toward getting an amazing figure at home with waist training corsets.
What is Waist Training:
Waist Training involves wearing a corset that is made of latex, which is a strict and stiff material that covers the area around your abdomen. The corset quickly enhances your waistline to create the appearance of a sleek hourglass figure by getting rid of any bulges and rolls through compressing your abdominal area.
A waist trainer is a very tried and true method for helping your waist look slimmer. This empowering piece of undergarment works by pulling in the abdomen area which naturally creates the hourglass figure we often picture in our minds when we think about beauty. Almost immediately you will see a transformation since this underwear really works! The compression, thermal activity and support all combine to promote weight loss as well!
How To Use a Waist Trainer:
Many women think that wearing a waist trainer means they’re meant to have their ribs squeezed together because that’s what they’ve seen on the runway and in movies or on Instagram, but nothing could be further from the truth. A waist trainer should by no means restrict your breathing; otherwise, it’s too tight! It is important that your waist trainer fits comfortably and allows you to breathe easily at all times while wearing it. When wearing a waist trainer for the first time, keep in mind you can always begin with a smaller size. Then once you feel ready and comfortable with the size you chose, wear it for about 8-10 hours every day and gradually increase how long you wear it until you are at that point where you no longer feel like taking it off. After childbirth however, there may be one more adjustment period needed in order to get back to feeling confident about your results as is completely normal.
Using A Waist Trainer Post-Pregnancy:
Ladies, after birth, your body may still be holding water. It needs at least 4 weeks to get rid of it, and it can take up to 6 weeks for your uterus to return to normal size. So, you should wait around 5-6 weeks before you begin wearing a waist training corset.
The body produces a combination of hormones, including estrogen and progesterone (and others), during pregnancy. These hormones are what loosen up muscles and make the pelvic area more open and helps when a woman gives birth. These substances leave her body within about 6 months.
Waist Trainers can help you get back your pre-pregnancy body faster than anticipated. A tummy trainer easily draws in loose muscles and provides a support structure around the torso, supporting the reduction of strain on ligaments and joints in the lower back, pelvis, and buttocks. This extra bit of support given to these areas of the body will let your body return to its original pre-pregnancy shape much more quickly.
Doctors agree that a good way to help your abdominal muscles recover from stretching after pregnancy is by using a binding garment among likes of a waist trainer. The garment will pull the muscles and skin closer together again.
Post pregnancy, it’s important to correct your posture so that your abdominal muscles don’t stick out unnecessarily. Waist Trainers realign your body and enable you to correct your posture as well as strengthening your lower back which may have weakened from pregnancy.
We encourage you to combine your Waist Trainer with a healthy diet and workout regimen for optimal fat loss results.
A waist trainer can help mold and shape the wearer’s posture as well as flatten the abdomen through continuous compression. This makes them an excellent option for postpartum belly support, especially after having delivered a baby via C-section.
Remember giving birth is a beautiful and natural thing to do but it does ravage the body. So an after pregnancy plan t’s not just about getting your body back in shape; it’s also about feeling strong, confident and healthy again as well.
