Girls Pretended To Be Kim Kardashian And Wore A Waist Trainer For A Week

"It’s almost like a woman’s bullet proof vest."

We found a group of women willing to try a waist trainer for a week, and this is what happened:

A waist trainer is a corset-like mechanism that cinches the hips, waist and back, and has been popularized by the Kardashians.

When the women were handed the waist trainers, though, they were a little heavier and more serious than they expected.

Also, look at all those clasps!

But don't worry, a doctor was brought in to advise the girls on how to stay safe during the experiment.

They were told not to wear it for more than 1 or 2 hours at a time, and definitely not while eating.

She also debunked some common myths.

Then, it was time to try them out!

Most of the women complained during the week that they weren't too comfortable wearing the waist trainers, but by the end of it they saw some results:

"But I do think that's because I was being a lot more active while I was wearing it."

But not everyone saw changes:

Some of the women felt like they couldn't breathe properly in it, while others were able to dance and felt like it gave them better posture.

Overall, it wasn't terrible, but it wasn't that great either.
