Getting Started with a Waist Trainer for Beginners and Tips

Waist trainers are a lasting trend in beauty and health, but getting started with a waist trainer can be quite overwhelming. Let’s get started together with little steps, tips and a quick look at body shapers.

How to find your full-body shaper

There are so many different types of waist trainers that beginning with them sounds hard. Here are some little tips to make your intro to waist training easier.

Getting Started with a Waist Trainer: Why It’s so Hard

Waist trainer wraps, latex waist trainers, steel-boned corsets, and full-body shapers are just a few options to reshape your waist and control your silhouette. They look and are different; they wear and feel differently and, especially, they act in different ways. I had little knowledge when I first attempt while in Italy, and I didn’t know which one was for me. Wearing a waist shaper isn’t like wearing a top and might feel unnatural, this is why it sounds hard. I started with a simple sauna-effect waist wrap and get to know some brands specialised in waist trainer models with varying results. I’ve narrowed down my list of three recommendations based on ease of use for you.

Waist Trainer Wraps

I started with waist trainer wraps, I had a sauna-effect wrap which was thick for that purpose. The waist trainer wraps you’ll find today are less thick than in the past. They have the same simple design: a large, long belt of fabrics like latex and polyester with a felt-strap closure. Wrapped around the abdomen, they increase your core temperature, hence making you sweat.

Waist Trainers

Waist trainers are a type of shaper aimed at helping you lose weight by sweating while being active. They usually come in latex or neoprene and have different closures like zippers, hooks and straps, sometimes also some shoulder straps. Waist trainers can also be used to visually reduce waist size or temporary help with posture while lifting weights or during other activities.

Latex Waist Training Corsets

These waist training corsets are made of latex, which is a natural material, breathable and flexible. Latex waist training corsets are very durable, making them perfect for use at home or in the gym. These corsets can be machine washed, so you don’t have to worry about damaging them when you clean them after each workout session.

Full Body Shapers

Full-body shapers are a smart tool to wear under your clothing. They can help you look slimmer and they also make fitted clothes and dresses for special occasions fit smooth. To get the most out of your full body shaper, though, you need to choose the right size! If it’s too small or too big then it won’t work as intended. But how to choose the right size of full body shaper?

How to Find the Right Size of Full Body Shaper

1) Measure your waist, hips and thighs: these are the three critical areas that need to be measured.
You can measure yourself alone and get quite accurate measurements, but if you have a friend or family member willing to help, it will be easier and even more accurate. To get a good fit in these three areas – waist, hips, thighs – make sure that your shaper has adjustable straps and hooks at the back.

2) Use only a tape measure and online check the size charts
Take your time, stay still and measure around your chest, waist and hips in inches or centimetres. Websites usually have conversion charts to make your choice easy no matter the measurement units you use.

3) Don’t measure over clothing – it will just be wrong!
When measuring your size, don’t do it over a layer of clothing. You should measure yourself with nothing on at all (no clothes or shapers). This is because your body changes shape depending on the type of material and how tight or loose the fit is.

Hopefully, you should feel confident in choosing the right size for your new full-body shaper. As long as you take your measurements accurately and with calm or some help, check the size chart on the website you’re going to buy from and buy from a reliable source, there’s no reason why you shouldn’t be able to find something that fits you perfectly! Just remember not to go by the regular size label on clothes because it may not be accurate for this type of product; instead look at those areas to measure explained above (particularly waist and hips for waist trainers), which will help ensure an ideal fit every time.

Starting with waist trainers and co. isn’t hard if you know what you’re looking for – namely sauna effect, workout support/enhancer and shape control – and if you wear your clothing of choice gradually. Waist trainers should help you sweat more and feel better, not be uncomfortable!
