Beauty How do the stars REALLY loose the baby weight It's A Cinch How did Jessica Alba get her svelte figure back after two pregnancies? The 32-year-old credits a certain, rather painful, lingerie piece. “I wore a double corset day and night for three months,” said Alba in a 2013 interview with Net-A-Porter. “It was sweaty, but worth it.” Waist cinchers are a type of short or reduced corsets that often pull in or cinches at the waistline. Functional cinchers are always expected to reduce a woman’s waist size but decorative or well-designed cinchers are fabricated due to cosmetic reasons. This can be in lingerie sets or as part of a costume. Construction and fabrics used for waist cinchers vary and there are disadvantages and advantages of wearing this undergarment. Pros Of Waist Cinchers: The most obvious advantage of wearing a cincher is a smaller waist. In most cases, you will find that waist cinchers are lined with plastic or metal strips known as boning which reinforces the garment’s shape and support. This will also compress the body into the required shape. In fact, you will discover that fat, skin, and fluids are constantly compressed and minimally re-structured to provide the appearance of a slimmer midsection. Another great advantage of wearing a waist cincher is cascaded on posture. It will restrict the user’s movement to some degree and bending has to be done in such a manner that keeps the rigidity of the garment intact.
