      The Best Waist Trainers for Beginners

      With so many unique styles to choose from, Orchard Corset has the best waist trainers for beginners of all shapes and sizes. Whether you have ambitious waist training goals or you’re more interested in the gentle smoothing effect that modern shapewear has to offer, this guide will help you to find the perfect waist trainer for your needs.

      What's a Waist Trainer?

      First, a little terminology because the phrase “waist trainers” has been used in a couple different ways.

      • To properly train your waist, you'll need a steel boned waist training corset. So, we refer to a steel boned corset as a waist trainer.
      • Latex shapewear can be used as a tool in addition to your steel boned corset for proper waist training, but wearing a waist cincher alone will not train your waist.

      Read on or check out our Ultimate Guide to Waist Training for more details on what waist training is—and isn't—so you get the results you're looking for.

      This surprisingly comfortable waist trainer has a secret weapon to banish any remaining bumps: zippered mesh panels. The first layer of this double layer cincher hooks together with the typical 2-layer hook and eye fasteners that modern waist cinchers favor, and then strong mesh panels are zipped together to smooth any bumps that the hooks left behind. Whether you’re going out or working out, the Vedette 400 will give you the hourglass shape you’re looking for.

      Tracy B. says this Vedette 400 Waist Cincher “holds me in on all of my problem spots! I had gastric bypass and I have a lot of loose skin on my stomach and this hides everything, it makes my body smooth and curvy in all the right places. I absolutely love it!!”

      Quiz: Should I Get A Waist Training Corset Or A Latex Waist Cincher?

      Not sure whether you need a steel boned corset for waist training or latex shapewear for cinching? Take our quiz to find out! And read on for more info.

      A Waist Training Corset Is For You If…

      …You want to look like you’re wearing a corset when you aren’t wearing one.

      Over time, a corset can bring in your natural waistline to give you more of a natural hourglass shape. Similar to braces on your teeth, a steel boned corset can shrink your natural waistline when you wear it regularly to waist train. See before and after waist training results from real Orchard Corset customers.

      …You include Marilyn Monroe and Jessica Rabbit on your “waist goals” inspiration board.

      You don’t need to waist train for years to enjoy the benefits! You can expect to see a noticeably smaller waistline when you’re laced into your corset. Most people are able to achieve a reduction of 3-6” with relative ease but you may see an even greater reduction when you’re laced up. See how customers style their corsets.

      …You're looking for back support, too.

      Corsets are so much more than just a pretty accessory! We have many customers who have even gotten their doctor’s approval to wear their corset in lieu of a traditional back brace or even to help manage symptoms of chronic pain. (Always first talk with your doctor about any underlying health concerns before wearing a corset.) Read Hannah story about using a corset for her scoliosis.

      A Smoothing Waist Cincher Is For You If…

      …You want waist support and compression during your workouts.

      Traditional corsets cannot be worn while exercising, but modern shapewear is ideal for exercise! Because they are stretchy, flexible, and machine washable, waist cinchers can help you maintain your waist training results and keep your back and core supported while at the gym, safely.

      …You have a big event coming up and you want a sleek silhouette for under your clothing.

      A slimming waist cincher made from latex or nylon spandex can give you the confidence you need to wear that little black dress out on the town.

      …You aren’t sure if corsets are right for you yet.

      A waist cincher is a great way to wade into the corset sea. Although the sensation from a waist cincher is not identical to that of a corset, you can get a sense of whether you’ll enjoy the compression from a corset before you take the plunge.
