More recently, celebrities like Kim Kardashian and Amber Rose have redefined what the term waist training means, as they refer to latex waist cinchers that they use during their workouts. It's important to understand that these latex waist cinchers are not the same as a steel boned corset waist trainer. Latex waist cinchers have no way to truly cinch them and even the firmest latex can't compare to stainless steel bones. Women discussing waist training these days are, more often than not, likely discussing it as a part of their workout plan with a cincher. A latex waist cincher on its own won’t be able to effectively modify your body shape and train your waist like a steel boned corset can, but they are great for working out or for modest shaping under clothing. We refer to these latex waist bands as cinchers and the practice of using them, often when exercising, as waist taming. We use the terms “waist trainers” and “waist training” to refer to the classic way that people have always trained their waist by using steel boned corsets.
