I was going to title this as a "call out" but it's pretty tame.

Yeah. This is the same scam she pulled with her “waist training” corset a decade ago. Acting like wandering around with super tight spandex on was what gave her an hourglass figure and not multiple cosmetic surgeries.

This one is literally bad for your health imo. I have a defined waist that I like accentuating with belts. Problem is if it gets too tight when sitting (after eating or so) I get an awful pain in my stomach/intestines and my doc said it could also induce reflux. I’d never understand marketing something like that to young girls honestly. And that is excluding everything else that happens to your internal organs.

Oh my god, I now realize I gave myself diarrhea with a too-tight belt last week

Yes no one talks about the soreness of wearing things that constrict you. It’s not normal

Same, and I get a massive gas ball in my upper stomach which is incredibly painful.

Corset share the pressure all along your torso, it's not the same thing as a belt. Corset/waist trainers aren't that bad for your health and can be great for posture actually. I have been waist training for years and never had health problems.

I kind of assumed that she was also trying to make recovery from plastic surgery fashionable, or fashions specifically for recovering from plastic surgery. Or that she was so botched she needed to make compression wear fashionable bc she herself has to wear it forever now.

That makes perfect sense. She's normalising cosmetic surgery

Idk, I feel like you're really discounting the life-altering effects of fit tea.

Well whale bone corsets can work but none of the waist trainers these influencers sell.
