Real Answers From Real Women

So you've heard the news – the effects of waist training are inspiring women everywhere. Do you have your waist trainer yet? Are you anxious to know when you'll see the results?

Waist training can help you drop inches from your waistline when combined with proper dieting and exercising, but it's not magic. It depends on various factors including how frequently you wear your trainer, how long you've been waist training, your lifestyle habits like diet and exercise, and your genetics. Of course, you'll enjoy instant slimming whenever you're wearing a waist-training garment, but you may need to be patient before you notice much difference when the trainer comes off.

There's no average amount of time it takes to see the results you want, just like there's not average results to healthy eating and exercise. But like any regimen, the more you stick with it, the more likely you'll see what you want.

If you need some inspiration, look no further than some of these reviews from real women just like you. They've tried some of the best waist training garments available and are thrilled with the results.

Arlene T. on the Vedette Candice Double Layer Waist Cincher with Zipper:

"Ordered the Vedette Candice Double Layer Waist Cincher with Zipper 940—loved it. Perfect for my healing post-partum bod. Started wearing it 3 weeks post-partum: it was super snug but definitely expedited the weight loss process. I've already ordered another!"

Stephanie J. on the Cincher by Amia:

"Love it! It fits amazing and works! You can wear it all day under your clothes and it's not noticeable. After weeks of wearing it my waist has gotten much smaller, helps your curves stand out. At first I bought a Small and after two months purchased an XS. Love it, and would recommend to others."

Cindy G. on the Corselette by Amia:

"Love it!!! Was a little skeptical about actually looking thinner....BUT was I wrong. It actually does give you an hourglass figure. It doesn't show under your clothes and wasn't as uncomfortable as I thought it might be. Can't wait to order more!

Jamila E. on the Workout Band by Ann Chery:

"Perfect, Perfect, Perfect. I couldn't be more pleased with this item. I received it quickly and couldn't wait to put it on. I am 5'3 with not the longest torso. It fit perfectly. I wear it daily while working (under my clothes) and find it to be very comfortable, yet very very firm. The compression keeps things where they need to be. I have noticed it is becoming easier and easier to get this tight thing on. I have another row of hooks that will be the final phase of contouring my waistline. I can't wait. I love the results. I would recommend this to anyone who is looking to minimize their waist. Not to mention the posture that you get when using a corset is priceless. I would order it again and again. Thanks Hourglass Angel."

Sheena L. on the SlimVest:

"Great Motivator! I have been wearing the SlimVest for 3 weeks now, and it's time to order the next size down. Can you say AMAZING!!! This is also without any change to my diet or exercise routine. Well to be quite honest, I've slacked a lot as it pertains to exercise, which is all the more reason to believe that it's because of the SlimVest that I've slimmed down. Not to mention I've gotten affirmation from others that I've slimmed down and are now wanting to make a purchase for themselves. It is an investment piece, but one that's well worth it. I highly recommend the SlimVest."
