Let me start by saying I was skeptical about waist trainers until I tried the ECOWALSON corset. The 9 steel bones provide serious support without making me feel like a medieval torture victim. After 3 weeks of wearing it during workouts, I can confidently say it's become my secret weapon for posture and sweat sessions.

The sizing advice was spot-on - I measured my waist while sucking in (let's be real, we all do this) and the XL fits perfectly with room to tighten as I progress. Pro tip: The 10.23" length works great for my 5'4" frame, sitting just under my bust without digging in.

Where this really shines is during yoga and weight training. The latex layer creates insane heat (I call it my personal sauna), while the cotton lining prevents irritation. I did learn the hard way to wear a thin tank underneath - that first zipper mark lesson was... educational.

Surprise benefit? It's become my WFH essential. The back support is unreal when I'm glued to my desk chair for hours. Just don't make my mistake of wearing it during a big meal - that burrito regret is real.

For the price, the quality punches way above its weight class. My only gripe? The hooks require some acrobatics to fasten solo. But seeing my waistline shrink by 2 inches already? Worth every awkward bathroom struggle.
