Why Should You Swim in Your Waist Trainer?

To be honest, I was a little puzzled at first when I heard that our #WomenOfWaistlab wanted to swim in their waist trainers.

It turns out that wearing a waist trainer beneath your swimsuit can give a bit of a confidence boost! The coverage that a waist trainer provides helps make you look more shapely in the water.

It also supports your core at the same time!

The Do’s & Don’ts of Swimming in Your Waist Trainer

✅ Do wear your waist trainer on the first row of hooks when you swim for the best comfort. As the waist trainer slowly absorbs the water, it might make the waist trainer feel tighter than usual. This is why it’s best for you to wear it on the first row of hooks instead.

✅ Do rinse your waist trainer after swimming to remove the chlorine. You simply need to hand wash your waist trainer in lukewarm water, squeeze the water out (don’t wring it), and air dry it indoors (not outdoors).

So How Does It Feel to Swim in Your Waist Trainer?

Let’s ask Anis! She recently headed out to a pool and tested this out for you.

“I never thought I could swim in a waist trainer until I entered the pool with one on. Never expected it to be that comfortable to do laps in the pool with it.” - Anis
