If you are dreading your muffin top today I want to show you how you can use waist training to help get rid of muffin top.

Muffin top was the original body issue that many wanted to fix due to the low-rise jeans we were wearing during the Y2K generation.  We wanted to think we looked like Destiny Child or Paris Hilton but for many of us Y2K girls we might have been more like Y2k Britney with a hint of muffin top around the brim.  Honestly, were are not hear-to-body shame so if you are okay with muffin top I am okay with you.

However, I am happy to say that we can reclaim our mid-section and muffin top with the help of a waist trainer. In summary, a waist trainer can effectively help with a muffin top in that it helps to compress the mid-section area and help to hide the fleshy love handle area.

Can a corset get rid of a muffin top?

 

A proper steel boned corset can effectively help you get rid of muffin top, however, it is in a sort of kind of way.

This is why. The fat bulge that is a muffin top is not going to permanently magically go away just because you have on a corset.

A corset will however hide your midsection and compress that fat deposits will be compressed and tucked in under the corset.

However, when the corset comes out muffin top will reign once more.

So in essence you are not getting rid of fat you are just redistributing the fat.

The important thing to consider when picking the corset when the goal is to get rid of muffin top is to make sure that it is long enough that you can tuck in your muffin top.  You want to get the longest line corset you can find that you can still comfortably sit down it.  Especially if you have major muffin top and you have more fat deposits that need to be compressed down and maintained under the corset.
