I was quite excited when I opened up my Waist Trainer package - the Tardis Blue I ordered was just as pictured!

To do up the corset, it's easiest to start from the bottom, and work your way up - I'm starting at the biggest loop, and will eventually work my way to the smallest loops.

Immediately when I put on this waist trainer, I noticed my posture was already better (I work in front of a computer all day, so find myself adjusting my posture constantly). I am able to bend in it without the loops coming apart, and it has a nice slimming effect underneath my clothing. Who needs Spanx with this Waist Trainer? It's a lot more comfortable than my normal undergarment Spanx-type attire.

I can even do my Beachbody Workouts with lunges, sit ups, squats, twists, and so on with the loops staying intact, and again, better posture throughout my workout. I do find that I sweat a LOT with it on while working out, but that's another purpose of the waist trainer - to promote sweating during workouts, hence help attain optimal results that much quicker. The sweat does bead on the inside of the trainer, therefore I can only go two workouts between hand cleaning for odour prevention.

With this being said, I'm sure this wouldn't be the best to wear out in warm weather while you're naturally sweating! I feel you would heat up that much quicker.

Hand cleaning is simple too - simple soap & water, and let it hang to dry.

The material itself feels like a neoprene-type material, and my skin hasn't reacted to it.

Overall, for my purposes of regaining my posture and promoting a sweatier more productive workout, I am happy with this waist trainer.
