#weakened pelvic floor muscles: The trainer makes the pelvic floor muscles inactive and they weaken in the long run, and may lead to poor bladder control and incontinence.

#heartburn: the extra pressure on the abdomen causes food to back up into the esophagus, causing severe heartburn.

Difficulties in breathing : The trainer causes your abdominal organs to push on your diaphragm, reducing the space in the thoracic cavity and limiting Kung expansion. This means that you are unable to take in as much air as you need especially if you use the trainer during exercise.

#Hernia: As the trainer builds pressure in the abdominal cavity, the organs look for the smallest chance to move out of the cavity. This leads to 𝙝𝙞𝙖𝙩𝙖𝙡 𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙣𝙞𝙖 where part of the stomach moves into the chest cavity and 𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙪𝙞𝙣𝙖𝙡 𝙝Ernie where soft tissue such as the intestines bulges through the pelvic floor to the groin.

#Digestive disorders: The trainers constrict the intestines, increasing risk of disorders in the digestive tract especially Inflammatory Bowel Disease and Chronic Constipation.

#organ damage: It goes without saying, that the pressure exerted by the trainers affect abdominal organs. The organs most affected are the liver, the kidneys and the bladder.

#Nerve damage: Tight clothing, including waist trainers, may cause nerve damage.
In particular, waist trainers may compress the nerve that runs down from the groin. This can cause something called meralgia paresthetica — burning, tingling, and numbness in the outer thigh.

Bottom : Waist trainers can come in handy when you want to wear that amazing outfit. However, long-term use doesn't considerably affect weight loss and may pose several health problems.

When they must be used, they should not be worn too tight, and should be removed at the earliest convenience.

Do not sleep in them, do not exercise in them either.
