How long can a waist belt be worn? How many years can a waist belt be used?

As the name suggests, a corset is something that can help us improve our body shape. Whether it is used for postpartum or daily body shaping, its effect is very good. So how long can a new corset be used?

The effect depends on the wearer.

The service life of a corset itself is about 1-3 years, but many people buy it for the purpose of slimming their waists. At the beginning, the corset will be worn with a larger waist circumference. After the waist and abdomen become thinner, the corset will be replaced to a suitable size to tighten the waist and abdomen as much as possible. Usually, the replacement time is about 1-3 months, and it may be faster for some people. Therefore, how long a corset can be worn needs to be adjusted in time according to the effect of the wearer.

The maximum time to wear a belt is no more than 9 hours a day, but once you get used to the elasticity of the belt, you can choose to wear it for a long time. The correct time to wear it is before exercise. Wearing a belt of the right type and material can protect the muscles and avoid damage to the lumbar muscles and lumbar spine.

The main purpose of a waist belt is to tighten the waist and help treat waist diseases. If it is a warm-keeping belt, it can be worn during normal rest. If it is a belt with other special therapeutic effects, it can be worn at normal times without strict time requirements.

1. Use it to protect your waist during exercise

A waist belt can exert a certain amount of pressure on the muscles and adjust the force balance during exercise. Especially when heavy weight strength training requires the use of the torso, it can stabilize the waist and prevent strain caused by excessive force and excessive bending of the waist. It is usually worn from the beginning of exercise to the end of exercise.

2. Postpartum use

The time when mothers with different delivery methods start using corsets is different. Usually, mothers who give birth naturally start using it on the third day, and mothers who give birth by caesarean section use it on the seventh day after the surface of the wound has healed. The daily usage time should be controlled at one or two hours each time. The corset should be untied after one to two hours to relax the waist and abdomen. Generally, it is not necessary to wear it all day long. It should be untied when lying in bed or sitting to rest, and put on again when getting out of bed to prevent long-term wearing of the corset from affecting the body's blood circulation, restricting the activities of the lumbar muscles and back, and prolonging the postpartum recovery time.

3. Use during lumbar disease stage

For patients suffering from bone spurs, low back pain, sciatica and other diseases, wearing a medical corset can greatly promote rehabilitation and treatment. Generally, this type of corset is made of different materials and has a longer waist, which can effectively provide greater support for the waist and abdomen to avoid accidental injuries to the waist and abdomen. It is usually worn for a long time and basically needs to be worn during daytime activities and taken off when sleeping.

4. Used by people who want to lose weight

For people who want to use a waist belt to lose weight, the general usage time should not exceed 6 hours a day. It should be taken off when eating and put on again after meals; it should also be taken off when sleeping and put on again after getting up. At the same time, moderate exercise can be used to strengthen the core muscles of the waist and abdomen, improve basal metabolism, and speed up fat burning in the waist and abdomen, which can make the waist and abdomen lines look better and the waist slimming effect more obvious and effective.

There are many benefits to using a corset to slim your waist. In addition to losing weight and slimming your waist, it can also treat lumbar disc herniation and lumbar diseases. However, there are still many problems in using a corset, one of which is to choose a suitable corset, because if the corset is not suitable, the effect is often greatly reduced. In addition to choosing a suitable corset, you must also pay attention to its strength. If the corset is too tight, it will make the stomach and abdomen feel uncomfortable, but if it is too loose, it will not be able to play its effect. Using a corset to slim your waist is a very good choice, and when you put on a corset, your body shape will change greatly, which will make your figure more slender, but we must pay attention to choosing a suitable one when using a corset to slim your waist, and pay attention to its strength.
