Do not waist train while pregnant.
Waist training is a great way to speed up the post baby body process, however, it is advised to talk to your doctor first regarding waist training post-pregnancy (especially if you had a C-section).
Most commonly, people will opt for a smaller size thinking this will give them better results. In actual fact, this is the main reason of discomfort caused when wearing a waist trainer.
Wearing a waist trainer should not hurt when worn properly and under guidance. You will feel compression in your waist, abdomen, and midsection area which can be uncomfortable at first until your body gets used to it. The pressure should not be harmful to the body and if you do ever feel abnormal pain, you should cease use.
Our advice, listen to your body. Most of our success stories have been from women taking their time and working up their training efforts. Giving their body a break when they need it and still getting great results over a matter of weeks.
- The waist trainer should be worn underneath your clothes to promote heat and perspiration.
- Start on the row that you will feel comfortable with (usually the first, loosest row).
- When putting the trainer on, wrap it around yourself situating the bottom of the waist trainer above your midsection or the area that most protrudes outward. The hooks should be on the right side and the eyes on the left. Sucking in helps ?
- Start with the bottom hook first. Grip the trainer from the bottom (one hand on each side) and overlap the two sides until you can fasten the bottom hook. Keep in mind, the trainer has some stretch to it. Don’t worry about where the trainer is positioned at this point – we will pull it down and adjust in the next step.
- After fastening the bottommost hook, pull the trainer down slightly over your midsection. Move your hands to grip the trainer around the middle now and fasten the next hook from the bottom. Gradually work your way up, securing the rest of the hooks and pulling the trainer down to position it as needed. It is normal for some of the hooks to unfasten as you move upward – simply rehook them.
- Move your hands upward as you work your way up until you get to the top hooks. Grip both sides of the trainer with each hand from the top as you secure these final hooks. Adjust your trainer so that it sits, straightened, throughout the length of your torso.
We also send a getting started guide on how to put on each style
We strongly recommend when starting waist training to only wear your waist trainer for 1-3 hours a day for the first few days and gradually increase the time by 1-2 hours every few days when you feel you are getting use to your waist trainer and it is becoming more comfortable, example:
Days 1-4: Wear for 1-3 hours per day
Days 4-8: Wear for 2-5 hours per day
Days 8-14: Wear for 6-8 hours per day
Days 14+: Wear for 6-10 hours per day
We recommend you wear your waist trainer within your comfort level or for a maximum of 8-10 hours per day, especially when you are active
It's also important to give your waist a break when needed once or even twice a week depending on your comfort level
We recommend wearing our sweat belts for 2-4 hours at a time before, during and after physical activity (eg. going for a walk, run, workout) due to the excess perspiration. Make sure you stay well hydrated on your sweat belt days.
