I don’t know if you’ve seen this, but there is a trend among celebrities to wear these contraptions called waist trainers.
Which are really just corsets.
All the Kardashians and Kim Zolciak post pictures of themselves in these torture devices fairly regularly.
I just have something to say to these women.
Um…
You look really fucking stupid.
Actually, I take that back.
You don’t look stupid.
You look disturbing.
This is disturbing.
You know what it reminds me of?
Chinese foot binding.
It’s fucked up.
I totally get wanting to smooth out those muffin tops.
That’s why Spanx were invented.
Those things are uncomfortable enough.
Discomfort aside, this waist training stuff cannot be healthy for you.
Whether or not it’s unhealthy, if you are considering strapping this thing around your waist and the pulling it so tight that your body parts are completely relocated, please think about this:
If your young daughter thought she had a physical flaw, if she thought her stomach wasn’t as flat as it should be, or could be, and she asked you to buy her one of these things, what would you say to her?
Would you strap her into one and pull those strings as tight as you possibly could?
No.
You’d tell your daughter she didn’t need one of those contraptions and that she is beautiful just the way she is.
And just in case this stupid idea has crossed your mind, maybe it would be a good idea for you to say the same thing to yourself.

Totally agree! I really love the Kardashians and Kim Zolziak, but this is a bit crazy.
