Ladies before you Use a waist trainer …read this!

Interesting article, please Read:

It’s called a waist trainer, and the idea is just that: to train to waist to be smaller.  If it looks like a medieval torture device, it almost is.  These type of corsets were popular in the 1500’s. Advertisements promise you can tame your midsection by wearing this thing continuously, but doctors warn it could cause serious long term damage.

It’s the newest slim down secret that has stars pumping its popularity all over social media. Reality TV Stars from Snooki and every one of the Kardashians have endorsed the products.
“Just because a celebrity promotes it doesn’t mean that it’s safe or that it works or that it’s proven,” said Spinal Surgeon Dr. Paul Jeffords.
Jeffords says the claims made by waist training manufacturers about shrinking your size are just plain ridiculous.
“It’s just like if I were to take a rubber band and wrap it around my finger tightly and leave it there for and hour, I’m going to have this indentation in my soft tissue, but it’s not going to be permanent. An hour later, my finger is going to look normal again,” he said.
But he says the damage caused by a waist trainer could be permanent. “My focus as a spinal surgeon are the musculature effects and what effect does it have on the spine, the bones, the ligaments, the nerves. And certainly there can be some significant side effects with the prolonged use of these type of devices,” he said.
“It just crams all of your organs together. So over a long period of time, wearing it too much and too frequently, it can cause damage too,” said Dr. Tasneem Bhatia
The Science of Eating Blog shows a diagram of just how dramatically your organs can shift wearing one of these.  But evidence of damage was published long before bloggers picked up the idea. In 1909, French doctor Ludovic O’Followell published Le Corset. X-ray technology was in its infancy, but he used it to show squashed rib cages and displaced organs. At the time, he was advocating for more flexible corsets. Now, more than 200 years later, restricting corsets are having a resurgence in popularity
liver stomach, and small intestines can all be shifted around inside your body after wearing one for too long.
Dr. Taz says it makes heart burn and indigestion worse, and women passed out after wearing them because they can’t get enough air.
“The side effects or negative effects can be long term or permanent, but the benefit is not,” said Dr. Taz.
We reached out to all sorts of people to talk about the benefits of waist training: sales reps, stores, a company that manufactures them right here in Atlanta, but no one wanted to go on camera to talk about it.
They did have plenty of information on their websites, including the suggestion you should be wearing your waist trainer for 10 hours a day. The fine print says users need to eat healthy and exercise too to actually see results.
Doctors 11Alive News spoke with said to  keep the diet and exercise, but lose the waist trainer.
“There’s no magic bullet. It’s going to take effort, hard work, dedication just like anything else in life that’s worth having, you have to put a little effort in to it,” said Dr. Jeffords.
Dr. Taz says if you want to wear one of these out for one night to create a silhouette in a special dress – that should be fine. Put it on for a few hours and then TAKE IT OFF! But when it comes to long term use, she says — flat out — they just don’t work.
