After the buttons were buttoned one by one, the fat on her abdomen completely disappeared and her waist became much slimmer than before.

This magical "wind of transformation" has been quietly popular on the Internet recently.

All kinds of rumors that "you can always become a slim beauty by wearing a corset, and you will look just as good when you take off your clothes" have been boasted by online celebrities.

Can the corset really achieve the effect of slimming easily without surgery and liposuction?

If you believe it, you will be miserable.

How hot is the corset?

On Weibo, X-sound and other platforms, beauty and fashion bloggers have shown their own contrasts.

Before wearing a corset, there was fat in the abdomen. After putting on the corset, the fat is instantly replaced by a thin waist.

Personal demonstration of bloggers who recommend corsets.

Bloggers with more than 2 million fans advertise corsets.

The recommendations of online celebrities are almost the same: "anti-gravity", "strong abdomen" and "it's okay to sleep with clothes on" ...

Others suggest that fans can wear it when they sleep, for more than eight hours a day.

Various styles of body-shaping clothes are popular in the market, specializing in waist line and overall shaping, as well as models with thin thighs and plastic buttocks. ...

The corset market in China is booming. In 20 18, China's corset sales accounted for 17.97% of the global sales.

Corset was originally a serious medical product, but it has become an "artifact" that many girls believe in.

Behind the beauty is the neglected truth and harm.

Some sellers will hire natural thin waist models, and then use pictures and video modification technology to make the proportion of the human body constantly distorted.

The corset itself does not have the "magic effect" of blowing.

Body shaping clothes can not only lose weight.

It also hurts people.

Shashank Shah, an obesity therapist, said: "When people are caught in a weight loss craze, they don't care about principles at all. They can wear anything. "

Where did all the extra meat go after putting on the corset?

In fact, the principle of corset is simple: squeeze subcutaneous fat through elastic fabric.

Subcutaneous fat has no fluidity, it is a kind of energy storage material, which can not be reduced by extrusion, but only through negative heat balance-more heat energy is consumed than intake.

The bra worn on the body keeps squeezing and accumulating fat. Once the fat is taken off, it will recover immediately, which is not only unhealthy to wear, but also may lead to obesity.

Wearing body-shaping underwear for a long time can only passively contract the body fat, leading to "abortion".

Some muscles will also "waste" and "shrink" and lose their original elasticity.

When you take off your bra, your body fat will become loose, giving people a feeling of getting fatter and fatter visually.

Not only getting fat, but also doing more harm to the body.

Plastic clothes mainly bind the lower abdomen where the gastrointestinal tract is located. Long-term strain will inevitably affect blood circulation and weaken the peristalsis function of gastrointestinal tract.

It can also cause constipation and other problems.

If it is worn for too long and the corset is too tight, it will further lead to internal organs displacement.

When Emma Stone filmed the medieval film Beloved, he wore a corset that was popular centuries ago.

The film beloved

The month-long filming seriously damaged Emma Stone's health.

She said: "In the first month, I was often strangled by tights, and I would smell strange smells. A month later, all my organs seemed to have shifted. This is really disgusting. If you can't, don't try such a thing. "

The strong restraint of the abdomen will affect the normal breathing and blood circulation of the body, and only the upper part of the lungs will work normally, which will cause dyspnea and severe cough.

At the same time, the ribs will bear a lot of pressure.

If adolescent girls wear tights for a long time, their gonad development will be affected.

Binding the body and compressing the breast will cause blood stasis in the lower part of the breast and cause swelling pain.

If the corset is airtight, it will stick tightly to the body.

If the skin can't breathe freely, it will cause microcirculation disturbance and affect the normal nutritional metabolism of the skin.

Failure to volatilize sweat in time may cause pore blockage and local skin redness and swelling, which may eventually lead to folliculitis.

If you are used to wearing corsets for a long time, your muscle ability and joint stability will further decline.

If you don't wear it suddenly, it is easy to strain your muscles or sprain your joints, causing harm to your body.

Corset, a "sexy torture device" in the Middle Ages

In the PS era, corsets became popular again with a new look.

You may not think that the bitter fruit of corset was tasted by women hundreds of years ago.

The Metropolitan Museum of America held an exhibition in which the prototype of an exhibit can be traced back to17th century.

That's a corset made of whale bones.

At that time, corsets were essential for aristocratic women in Europe.

Its demand comes from human primitive waist worship.

The rumor at that time was that women with thin waists had much stronger fertility than other women. People with thin waists are generally not fat, and diseases related to obesity have nothing to do with these people.

Therefore, a thin waist is more favored by men.

Want to marry a good husband, waist is not thin, how to do?

Tights came into being.

At first, corsets were made of iron.

At that time, Catherine, the queen of King Henry II of France, was not slim.

In order to compete with her husband's lover, she ordered the makeup artist to make an iron bra and tie her waist tightly at 40 cm.

The waist circumference of a normal woman is 60-80 cm.

Queen Catherine of France

With a slim waist different from ordinary people, she won her husband's favor as she wished.

But not everyone can stand this iron torture device.

So in the 18 and 19 centuries, women began to wear "soft" corsets.

The soft corset is made up of several layers of stiff cloth, and only bone strips, whale bones or metal strips are added at the center and sides of the front, and the waist is tied with ropes.

When they were about 9 years old, girls began to wear corsets.

Mrs. Admore wrote this scene in her memoir Slave of Fashion:

"The girl's mother used the bedpost as a support point, tied her daughter's hand to the bedpost and pressed her knee on her back. She won't stop until the last breath is squeezed out of her chest. She tightened the lace of the bra from bottom to top, and then tied a knot quickly. When it's over, she can breathe easily and then seal the rope buckle with wax and rings. "

"Tight" or "Fashion"

In the movie Gone with the Wind, there is also a scene in which the heroine Scarlett asks the servant to give her a corset.

Scarlett asked the servant to gird her waist.

Wearing such "sexy torture devices", women often faint.

With the complexity of bra design, almost all styles are not designed with hooks in front. Their shoulders have long been pulled back by shoulder straps, and women can't take off their bras alone when their arms are bent to the maximum.

The manufacturer of the corset disapproves of the family unbuttoning the corset for the fainted girl.

They suggest squeezing girls' ribs deeper with their hands, giving them artificial respiration and using smelling salts.

Such violent and unnatural changes have brought unbearable consequences to women.

Their ribs began to deform and break, and their internal organs sank into the lower abdomen.

With the development of society, European women gradually got rid of the shackles of this kind of torture.

19 10 years or so, corsets almost disappeared, and women's waistlines finally recovered to a healthy size.

This "torture device", which has long been abandoned, was picked up again by some girls today.

The beauty of a woman should not be bound by a bra.

For lying-in women or patients after liposuction, corset is a good shaping tool.

Postpartum abdominal belt will help the body to restore a healthy body shape, and it can also be pressed and shaped in special periods.

This is commonly known as the "recovery period".

In the "recovery period", the body will naturally produce a contraction mechanism. By wearing appropriate body shaping clothes, it can play the role of external pressure shaping and promote the recovery of body shape.

Normal human body is not suitable for this recovery principle.

It is not advisable for ordinary people to wear body-shaping clothes in order to become thin and beautiful.

Maybe what women want is not just a thinner waist, but the charm, love and health brought by their body shape.

But corsets can't be worn for life.

There is no shortcut to slimming. Don't let beauty become a burden.
