What is a Corset Training Corset?
Not all corsets are made to be waist trainers. Fashion corsets are not made to compress the waist. Stretchy waist trainers (those the Kardashians wear to the gym) and flimsy bedroom wear are also not training corsets. A proper corset for training the lower torso will have dramatic curves and be made of two or more layers of strong fabric. A corset trainer will also have steel bones to hold the body in shape.
What is Waist Training?
Corset training is known by many names such as tight lacing, waist training and waist reduction. Don’t worry, they all mean the same thing! Put simply it is the process of changing your own waist shape by wearing a training corset over many months. There is more to it such as waist corset size and fit. Also getting the correct corset shape and learning to gradually cinch down smaller comfortably. Monitoring your waist size and progress is important too. Check out the Corset Training Fast-Track section below to get started.
Learning how to make a Waist Trainer?

Corset Training How To: Breaking In Your Trainer Corset
To break in a new corset you’ll need to find three different occasions on which to wear it around the house for at least 2 hours.
