Step By Step
Step By Step
Step 1: Place the waist trainer around your waist and bring it up to the smallest point of your waist.
Step 2: Start hooking from the bottom at the smallest part of your waist.
Hook from bottom to top to lift your tummy (top-to-bottom pushes fat down).
Step 3: Firmly grip both sides close to the hooks for better control.
Step 4: Firmly pull the front part of AirWaist Trainer down to cover your lower belly.
Step 5: Continue hooking, take a deep breath before each hook.
Step 6: Make adjustment to your AirWaist Trainer to fit your preferred coverage.
Do not worry if you see bra bulges or creases at the back, this is normal for some body types on the first few wears. That is why it's called waist-training!
Lastly, stand tall, bend side to side, take a deep breath for a comfort check.

Sizing Matters

Too Loose:
It will not provide proper shaping or back support. Your waist trainer will shift around when you move which may cause skin chafing or discomfort because it rubs against the skin.
Too Tight:
Can be painful or restrict breathing, and may create excessive bulges or pressure points on your ribcage.
May cause dizziness or strain if you wear a tight waist trainer too long.
Just Right:
Feels snug and supportive, molding naturally to your waist.
Allows you to move, breathe, and sit comfortably.
Should hug your body without pinching or causing pain.
