Types of Slimming Corsets
- Classic Corset: This type is designed with laces at the back, allowing for a custom fit.
- Hook-and-eye girdle: Similar to a corset but often easier to put on, this style uses hooks for adjustment.
-
Latex Suit: Uses thermal properties to increase sweating and improve fat loss around the abdomen.
Materials used
The choice of material is crucial for the comfort as well as the effectiveness of the slimming corset. Latex is particularly appreciated for its elastic qualities and its ability to promote sweating. Steel or plastic stays add additional support.
Different levels of compression
Corsets offer varying levels of compression. A high level of compression can give an immediate appearance of a flat stomach, while a moderate level is ideal for prolonged, comfortable use.
Initial price and durability
Corsets vary widely in price depending on the quality of materials and design. A cheap girdle can cost less than $30, but for durable options with sturdy boning and premium latex, the cost could exceed $100.
