Everybody…well most everybody… knows who the Kardashians are. Building an empire off a famous murder case and a sex tape. Their ability to stay relevant and controversial is astonishing.

However, are both the image and the products they sell to the world unhealthy?

Typing “Kim Kardashian waist trainers” into google leaves you with 26 million hits; with models that are look a-likes to the celebrity. The famous family have been known to advertise these products on social media. Marketing an item that compresses the abdomen to young, impressionable girls on social media, is just, pretty low…

Teenagers have enough things to worry about, and enough outlets telling them how to look, without reality tv stars offering unhealthy compression wear as a quick fix to body issues. Furthermore, the “Kardashian Klan” have made millions off their bodies. And advertising quick ways to achieve the same results.

However, is wearing a waist trainer really going to shrink you down to a 24″ waist like Kim? Or is it the hours of personal training sessions and questionable plastic surgery that give them that result?

Instead of buying over priced spandex to shrink your waist. Spend the money on a gym membership and some organic food. Do what they do, just question buying what they promote.

Until next time
