Let me start by saying, I've tried my fair share of waist trainers, but the FeelinGirl Waist Trainer genuinely surprised me. The first time I wrapped it around my waist, I was shocked at the immediate cinching effect. My usual 36" waist measured 34" after just one use! The adjustable velcro and super stretch fabric make it easy to customize the tightness.

The material feels premium – thick yet breathable. Unlike cheaper trainers, this one doesn’t roll down or bunch up during workouts. I’ve worn it under dresses, to the gym, and even during postpartum recovery (yes, it’s that versatile). The back support is fantastic; I caught myself sitting straighter without even trying.

Now for the cons: The length can be awkward initially – wrapping it 7 times around my size 12 frame takes some practice. Also, the velcro ends can feel scratchy if not properly tucked in. While it claims to be "one size fits all," those with longer torsos might find coverage lacking.

After consistent use for 6 weeks (paired with light exercise), I’ve lost 2 inches off my waistline. For $30, this trainer delivers salon-quality cinching at home. Just be prepared for some trial-and-error with wrapping technique!
