Are the internet celebrity corsets really as effective as advertised?

01

If you wear a corset for a long time, you will have an hourglass figure?

Many businesses claim that if you wear it for X hours a day, you can have a beautiful hourglass figure.

From the visual effect, it is true, with full and firm breasts, slender waist, and swaying hips...

But the working principle of the waist corset is actually very simple and crude, that is, to change the visual effect by tightening it with external force. In fact, your fat has not been reduced, because fat, as an energy storage substance, cannot be consumed by squeezing.

If you want to squeeze the fat into your chest or buttocks, that is unrealistic! Because it will not change the location of the fat, but it may change the location of your internal organs!

02

Correcting hunchback?

In the short term it may indeed help you get rid of your hunched back, because it will be difficult for you to even bend over and sit down!

A 15-year-old girl has to be extremely careful when getting on a bus and sitting down after putting on a corset, otherwise she will feel like her waist is going to break.

The corset will first squeeze the lower edge of the thorax, and through continuous compression, slowly deform your ribs and costal cartilage.

This will compress the space for the lungs to move, and the direct feeling is difficulty in breathing; but over time, it will also cause tension in the shoulders and neck, fatigue and soreness, trigger upper cross syndrome, and make your body uglier and uglier.

What’s more serious is that in Europe, where the “corset” originated, there have been many fatal incidents due to excessive tightening, resulting in rib deformation, fracture, and piercing the liver.

03

Suppress appetite and lose weight easily?

Yes, strong pressure on the stomach will make you feel like you don't want to eat, and you may have the illusion that your appetite has decreased. But what happens when you take off the corset? It is very likely that you will jump back and forth between anorexia and bulimia.

At the same time, the abdominal cavity is subjected to long-term compression, gastrointestinal motility slows down, and food stays in the stomach for too long, resulting in excessive secretion of gastric acid, which in turn causes acid reflux.

04

Improve postpartum relaxation and become a "slim waist beauty" in seconds?

The group of people who are most affected by corsets are postpartum mothers.

After giving birth, many mothers, looking at their sagging bellies and the high numbers on the scale, are eager to try a corset and immediately lose 10cm from their waistline, but tragedy also follows.

On Bilibili, there was a video of a postpartum mother "stripping her skin and corseting her waist", which attracted millions of people from the entire network: she had just given birth to a baby, and in order to recover from the baby, she wore the corset for just one week, but she started leaking urine. She went to the hospital for a check-up and was told that she had visceral sagging and bulging of the vaginal wall.

Urinary incontinence: The physiological structure of women is that the urethra is relatively thick and short. When the pressure on the bladder suddenly increases, it will directly cause stress urinary incontinence, and urine will flow out of the urethra uncontrollably.

Bulging of the vaginal walls and prolapse of internal organs: This is due to damage to the pelvic floor muscles.

The pelvic floor muscles are like a big net, holding our bladder, uterus, rectum and other organs. However, women have just experienced the pressure and gravity of pregnancy, coupled with the damage during childbirth, the pelvic floor muscles are already fragile. At the same time, in order to ensure a smooth delivery, the pelvic floor muscles will also undergo denervation and lose their original muscle elasticity.

At this time, the corset is tightened, and the squeezed organs shift collectively. The ensuing abdominal pressure and gravity are all transferred to the vulnerable pelvic floor muscles. The damaged large net cannot support it, which directly leads to bladder prolapse, vaginal wall prolapse, uterine prolapse, etc.

Some people may say: The hospital will also recommend wearing a belly belt after giving birth!

Postpartum belly belts and Internet celebrity waistbands are completely different things! Postpartum belly belts are designed for mothers to help them expel lochia, retract abdominal muscles, restore the pelvis, and prevent internal organs from sagging. Doctors recommend wearing them within 7 days after delivery.

In addition, ordinary people wearing corsets still cannot escape the fate of damaged pelvic floor muscles: women with weak pelvic floor muscles will also suffer from visceral prolapse, and although "lucky" women will not experience these symptoms, the risk of visceral prolapse is greatly increased when they become pregnant and give birth.

05

Support lumbar spine, sports companion?

This is even more nonsense. The merchants deliberately confuse the functions of waist corsets and sports protection belts.

A real fitness waist protector can provide support during exercise, hold up the waist with excessive bending, reduce the pressure on the waist muscles, and prevent waist sprains. However, wearing the Internet celebrity waist corset for exercise may make it difficult to even maintain basic breathing.

For the sake of profit, internet celebrities and pseudo-scientific platforms have been hyping up the packaging and misleading the public about the functions of waist binders, making them believe that waist binders have the functions of postpartum recovery and lumbar spine protection. These are all marketing tricks that are made up out of nothing by merchants and capital.

Ladies, those people who frantically recommend corsets to you, saying they are “so beautiful” and “so thin”, really don’t want you to become beautiful, they just want to empty your wallet. Don’t be such a scam anymore.
