Waist Belt

The problem of a beautiful figure remains relevant for both women and men, despite the fact that today there are many different ways to solve it. The stumbling block on the way to your dream is the lack of free time, finances, and sometimes simple willpower.

The most problematic place on our body is the stomach. Its increase may be associated not only with a great love of delicious food, but also with pregnancy, childbirth, certain types of diseases. Fortunately, there is a fairly simple and affordable method that may be the most effective in this case - a waist band or belt.

Most often women are concerned about the question of whether such a bandage can be used for full weight loss. This is indeed possible, however, only if the complex effect on the tissues of the abdomen, waist and hips is carried out. That is, wearing a slimming belt is best combined with regular physical education, aerobics or fitness. This is the only way to achieve the complete elimination of excess fat on the abdomen and waist, as well as to strengthen the abdominal muscles. But the independent wearing of a bandage will help only with minor deviations from the norm.

It should also be noted the features of high-quality belts, which are made from materials such as spandex, elastane, nylon, and may also have additional elements like lycra or tourmaline. Thanks to this, the laundry does not stretch, instantly adapts to the outlines of your body and quickly returns to its original shape. Thus, you can always be sure that the belt will not fail after long wear.

Indications for the use of such a dragging brace are entirely due to its features:

• For active weight loss, remove excess fatty tissue in the abdomen and thighs;
• To strengthen the abdominal muscles in the postoperative period;
• As an option for underwear in the postpartum period;
• When violations of the integrity of the abdominal wall, for example, with hernias;
• In the case of drastic weight loss and “sagging” of the skin for tightening and preventing the appearance of deep stretch marks;
• Corrective options can be used to mask certain cosmetic flaws of the figure and its suspenders;
• In cases of certain congestive diseases of the cardiovascular system, prescribed by a doctor;
• With increased loads in the lumbar region.

There is a rather serious disagreement on how safe it is to wear such underwear. The main problem is constant compression applied to the soft tissues of the skin and muscles, especially if we are talking about a woman after pregnancy or periods of rapid weight loss.

Currently, most experts around the world come to the conclusion that wearing a slimming belt for the abdomen is not harmful to health. However, you should follow all recommendations from the manufacturer, as well as consult on this with your doctor.

As for the positive aspects, the following can be noted separately:

• Self-confidence. Our sense of confidence depends a lot on how attractive we feel ourselves. Thanks to the slimming underwear, the figure always retains the necessary forms;
• The belt is essentially a method of quickly adjusting the abdomen and the figure as a whole. Many of us have had moments when an invitation to an important celebration suddenly arrives, and the appearance wants to leave the best. Now there is an opportunity to quickly clean up thanks to corrective underwear;
• Allows you to quickly recover. This is especially useful for women in the postpartum period, when constant support for the abdomen is necessary and there is a risk of stretch marks;
• Might render significant assistance in the process of losing weight.

Belt damage is nevertheless also possible. Particular care should be taken in the following cases:

• If necessary, frequent and prolonged wear of the belt should choose options with a minimum degree of compression. Otherwise, a serious impairment of blood circulation in the pelvic area is possible, which is fraught with the development of certain types of pathology;
• In acute and chronic diseases of the abdominal organs and small pelvis, it is better to abandon the compression underwear, as there is a risk of complications;
• Also, the waist belt is prohibited to use for people with interruptions in the work of the heart.

Choosing the right belt plays an important role. It should be understood that first of all it has increased compression, because it adjusts the existing forms, but does not guarantee the burning of fat. Such clothes can be worn often enough, so you should carefully approach the selection of models.

• First of all, pay attention to how you fit your future corset. Also important is the type of fabric. Never buy a corset belt in online stores, making a conclusion only on the photo. Compression underwear should be soft enough and pleasant to the touch;
• Carefully read all available metal inserts. If possible, try on a belt and make sure that they do not stick out and stick at the skin;
• Very often such corsets can cause skin irritations. This is due to the lack of elasticity and the wrong size. Lingerie should be 10-15 cm already your waist, and its width is determined by the line of closing the sides;
• Always try on slimming underwear before you buy. If during the fitting you feel over-constricted, discomfort or pain, it is best to look at the corset with a different cut or a larger size.
