Known in the world of corsetry for its ability to flatten the stomach area when worn, the women's slimming corset has become an essential accessory in many women's wardrobes over the last few decades.
What is a slimming corset?
Like a classic corset, the slimming corset also has stays (or metal bones) as well as laces or eyelets at the front, for most of our models available for purchase. But unlike a classic corset in jacquard or lace, which is mainly used for decoration for vintage looks, as well as for one-off events such as carnivals or medieval festivals, the slimming corset focuses on the stomach area to create a functional waist-cinching effect.
Does the slimming corset really make you lose weight? The real answer
It is essential to clarify one key point about our slimming waist-cinching corsets (like all models available elsewhere): they tighten the stomach and hips while they are worn, slimming you down, but the abdominal area returns to its original shape as soon as you take off the corset. Its effect is therefore temporary, and does not cause any fat loss. At least, this has never been proven so far.
What the corset can really offer
Thanks to its boned structure as well as its modern and flexible fabric, the slimming corset has excellent benefits to offer in your daily life. It helps maintain an upright posture when you tend to slouch slightly under the effect of certain shoes, for example. Also, the hourglass figure that some women dream of is an immediate result. Once the corset is laced around the stomach and hips, the silhouette is smoothed to create an incredible slimming effect under clothes, or over them for a bold look.
On this point, the slimming corset has a similar purpose to the tummy control garment. That is, to straighten your posture while discreetly slimming your waist.
What not to expect from it
Some people claim that wearing a slimming corset gives them an appetite-suppressing effect due to the pressure it exerts on the stomach. But do not think that wearing a slimming corset will make you lose weight because you eat less, the causality between these two elements has once again never been proven. The slimming corset is not intended to become a medical accessory! It is an aesthetic accessory that creates a real, but only temporary, slimming effect! Do not wear it for longer than necessary, at the risk of creating discomfort or worse. A walk, a 2 or 3-hour outing in a corset is enough.
How to choose your slimming corset
As with any accessory or garment worn over the abdominal area, measuring your waist is the essential element to choose the slimming corset model you need.
Take a tape measure, note your waist size, and compare it to our size guide. Example: Size M = 76–80 cm for a woman.
Then, subtract 2 to 3 cm maximum from this measurement and order the correct size corset accordingly.
Overbust or underbust corset: which one to choose?
An overbust corset also covers the chest, unlike the underbust corset which focuses only on the stomach area. The choice will depend on your preferences: if you want to enhance and lift your chest in addition to slimming your waist, the overbust corset is a good choice. Furthermore, the back area also benefits from even greater support.
If you want to focus solely on the abdominal area and the lower back, the slimming underbust corset is the choice to favor. Furthermore, it can prove to be more discreet due to its smaller size.
What material for daily use?
Within our range, we offer many models in different materials, featuring stays. For classic models, polyester as well as breathable cotton such as mesh are among the most popular. Their durability over time makes them reliable fabrics. Leather or faux leather hugs the skin and is also very durable.
Satin is also a good option, very comfortable, but it may offer less durability if used intensively.
Wearing your slimming corset safely
It is advisable to favor moderate wear, with regular breaks throughout the day. Other measures should be taken to prevent any discomfort:
Tie the corset so that you can easily fit a finger between your skin and the corset.
If you feel any discomfort, loosen or remove the corset if it persists.
