1. Get the size right. Please click here to view our size chart.


2. Wear your waist trainers for around 8 - 16 hours a day. If it is your first time waist training, start wearing it for 5 hours a day. Repeat this daily and increase the number of hours as you get more accustomed to your waist trainer. Always listen to your body and take it slow! Over time, your body will shift as you pull in at the waist.


3. Make sure that you adopt a healthy diet and exercise regimen. Drink at least 8 cups of water a day.


Working out
You can wear the waist trainers to amplify your workout. Thermogenesis will help you enhance sweat in the stomach and midsection. It will allow your body to rid itself of toxins and impurities through perspiration.


Healthy Diet
The tight compression will help you reduce food intake because you will feel less hungry. That said, you still need to eat smaller meals, more often than three large servings a day.


Wearing it while at work
You can wear you waist trainers to work. The snug fit of the shapewear will provide support for your back, hence, it prevents slouching and also helps to develop good posture habits.


A waist trainer is a supplement to help you promote weight loss and better posture but ultimately, the work needs to come from you to fully maximise the effects.


**Do note that the results will depend from body to body and individual motivations.

Like most products, over-usage can cause health problems. Talk to your primary care doctor if you are uncertain about the safety and effectiveness of using waist trainers. If you experience pain, numbness or stomach issues such as acid reflux and heartburn, remove your waist trainers.


Ultimately, wearing a waist trainer according to recommended guidelines won’t cause any problems (provided it is not too tight).


Some of the most common risks when wearing waist trainers include:


• Breathing Problems
If you cinch your waist trainer too tight, you might end up having breathing problems, which could even lead to you passing out.


• Digestive System Issues
If you cinch your waist trainer too tight, you will not only be squeezing you skin and fats, but also your digestive system.


Listen to your body, adopt a healthy lifestyle and get accustomed to wearing these waist trainers slowly.
