LAST UPDATE: January 31, 2024
If there’s one thing that we have learned over the years, it’s that waist training is a fine art. Why do we say that?
It’s simple; there is a right and wrong way to do waist training. By doing it right, you can enjoy satisfying results. By doing it wrong – if you’re using an old-school corset or cincher for example - you’re going to have a double-whammy of disappointment. How so? Well, you’re going to be uncomfortable and you won’t get results. That being said, we don’t want to focus on how not to do things right now. Instead, we want to give you easy-to-follow advice on how to succeed in the art of waist training. To do that, you need to use the best (and correct) waist trainer.

- It’s comfortable to wear
- It is not a cincher

What To Consider When Buying a Waist Trainer
One thing to be aware of is that there is no one-size-fits-all waist trainer out there. Well, perhaps they exist (you can buy almost anything on the internet), but you shouldn’t spend your hard-earned money on them. Be wary of products that claim they are perfect for any build, size, and goal.
The right waist trainer for you is one that is designed to help you achieve your goals and doesn’t drive discomfort and frustration into your daily life. Most people think that waist training involves a considerable amount of discomfort, but that’s just not true. If you consider all your options and buy the right waist trainer for you, you will go through the process with minimal discomfort and get phenomenal results.
Let’s take a look at what to consider when buying a waist trainer.

We help women shed that stubborn belly fat by using body contouring garments that help support and shape the waistline so you can look fabulous and feel confident!
Goals
Let’s take a moment to think about your goals. What are they?
- Lose belly fat
- Achieve an hourglass figure
- Feel healthy and good about yourself
Of course, you want to shed stubborn belly fat and accentuate your feminine curves, but you probably don’t want to do that if it means being uncomfortable all day or putting your health at risk. This is why a waist trainer is a preferred choice over corsets and cinchers. You might be wondering what the difference is between the 3. Here’s what you need to know:
Corsets
The corset is an undergarment that was invented in Italy in the 1500s. It’s a tight-fitting item that extends from below the chest to the hips. The main purpose is to shape the figure and support the breasts. Some doctors have shown concern that the exceptionally tight lacing and the amount of time it is worn can cause poor breathing, poor digestion, and reduce blood flow, thus negatively impacting organ function.
Cinchers
The cincher is an undergarment that is worn for slimming and shaping. It is not designed to bring about long-term change and is therefore not a solution to fat loss and waist shaping. It simply makes you look slim and trim in a pinch.
Waist Trainers
The waist trainer is on a level of its own. It’s designed to train the waist over time to take on an hourglass shape. The fit and materials used to increase heat around the midsection can make it easier to burn fat too. You must take fit into consideration when buying a waist trainer. Getting the right fit for you means that you won’t be uncomfortable, suffer from breathing difficulties, or put your digestion and organs at risk.
Just by reading the differences between the products and contemplating how each of them can help you to achieve your goals, you probably already know which one is best for you.
Size
Do you know the saying, “size matters”? When it comes to waist trainers, this really is the case! Choosing the correct size waist trainer is the only way to ensure fast and steady progress and results.
Before you buy a waist trainer online or in-store, make sure that the merchant has the right size for you. If they don’t, wait until you find the right size. Don’t give in to temptation for instant shopping gratification. You will regret buying the wrong size, especially when the results aren’t as impressive as you hoped for, no-one wants an uncomfortable underbust!
Let’s repeat this for emphasis: size matters!
The secret to waist training success lies in finding the right size, so using a size guide is a must. Size charts are like secret weapons when it comes to waist training. Don’t order your waist trainer on a whim. Rather set some time aside to truly study and understand the size chart and guide provided first. Don’t assume that your waist trainer size will be the same general size as your clothing – it won’t be!
To measure yourself correctly you will need a tape measure. You can use it to track your progress along the way too, so it’s really a great investment. Here’s how you measure yourself for a Luxx Curves waist trainer:
Measure your waistline
This is the smallest part of your waist. Take a few measurements and determine which area on or above your belly button, is your smallest area. Waist trainers are strapless so the waistline size is crucial.
Measure your torso
You need to be careful with your torso measurement as it will directly impact your overall comfort when wearing the waist trainer. This is because the measurement you provide will determine the length of your waist trainer. Take this measurement from just underneath your bra line (the bras you normally wear) to a place on or above the hip bone where you want the waist trainer to end. Where the waist trainer ends will directly impact your daily comfort, so this is very important. Think about where your body folds when you sit down or bend over or move around. Keep this in mind when deciding where you want your waist trainer to end.
Material
Comfort is a key element to happiness, don’t you think? It’s no good having a great hourglass shape and shrinking waistline if you’re scowling and groaning all along the way.
When it comes to the material used for a waist trainer, you should look for material that is:
- Breathable
- Flexible
- Durable (long-wearing)
Take heat into consideration. You don’t want to overheat when wearing your waist trainer, do you? Of course not! Not many ladies would have achieved the fantastic results they have if they were expected to be hot and flustered throughout the process! You must also remember to look out for washable material!
To ensure comfort on every possible level, the best waist trainer is one that is made from a breathable and flexible material. This means that you can sweat (or as us ladies prefer to say: gently perspire), without overheating your core. You will be quite surprised at the difference between a waist trainer made out of quality breathable fabrics and one made out of cheap alternative fabrics.
Top tip: look for waist trainers made from a combination of nylon, spandex, natural latex, and cotton.
