Waist training during the fasting month, Ramadan? Is it safe? Will I faint?
So many of our customers ask about it! Some do it for better posture and back support, others want that snatched waistline in time for Raya. Whatever your reason, here’s what you need to know!
Why many women continue to waist-train during fasting month?
✔ Posture Support & Back Pain Relief
✔ Alter Waistline Shape
✔ Tummy Toning for Raya - Waist-training firms and flattens your midsection over consistent wear.
✔ Postpartum Recovery Support. New mothers waist-train as a modern alternative to traditional postpartum binders, which can be impractical for daily wear.
So, can you waist-train while fasting?
Yes, but do it right.
If you have been waist-training before Ramadan, wearing one during Ramadan might feel more comfortable for you.
However, it is essential to remember that fasting means reduced water and nutrient intake. Whether you are outside in the heat or sitting in an air-conditioned office, your body is working harder than usual. This can make wearing a waist trainer for extended periods uncomfortable and may lead to dizziness.
Keep listening to your body.
If you are new to waist training, avoid wearing it while fasting, it may make you feel dizzy or uncomfortable. You may break into your new AirWaist Trainer as follows:
✔ Wait 3 hours after Iftar before wearing it.
✔ Start with 1-2 hours and increase time gradually.
✔ Keep meals light, ensure you did not have a heavy dinner.
Think of it like breaking in new shoes. Your AirWaist Trainer needs time to mold to your body and your body needs time to adjust to a new firm compression garment. Start slow, be consistent, and watch the magic happen.
