Waist trainer a hip item with all the right curves

- Nomazima Nkosi

I AM always game when it comes to trying on new things and being a guinea pig if and when I feel like I am going to gain something.

So, when I was given the opportunit­y to try a waist trainer on; like any Kardashian fan, I said “Hallelujah” because the “First Family of America” have some of the most enviable curves on the planet and who wouldn’t want to have curves like Kim Kardashian?

Day 1: I was very excited but when I saw the waist trainer couldn’t go all the way around my waist, I was worried.

Putting the waist trainer on literally took three people, with me lying flat on my back and almost seven minutes later, I was up on my feet with a very sexy silhouette and a very straight back.

I have to admit, I was very hungry before I put the waist trainer on but after I had it on, food was the last thing on my mind because I was aware of it the two hours it was on.

I finally had enough of my waist cinching waist trainer after strolling in the sun and soon realised my hunger was back with a vengeance.

Day 2: It was definitely easier to get on without assistance than my first attempt and I wore it for four hours without any discomfort.

Day 3: I did not have the energy to put it on myself but I was able to keep it on for five hours straight. The problem on this day was I take public transport; the train to be specific.

My advice to anyone wearing a waist trainer, is to better plan the time of use because it is not a problem at work until I have to go out in it.

Day 4: The waist trainer felt a lot more comfortabl­e and more bearable to wear than during the first few days.

Day 5: It might be in my head, but I think I see a curvier shape around my waist area than when I started.
