Oh the tummy area and which waist cincher!  If there is one area of the body that causes us much stress throughout our lives, it’s the waist (tummy)…….(maybe my butt sometimes too but that’s a close second 🙂 )

So, with that in mind I thought “why not review the best waist cincher shapewear for our tummy!?”.  That’s what this website is all about right?  Have you already chosen the cincher option after reading my main shapewear article?  If not, do have a read to see whether or not there is another option that you haven’t thought about if not read on on!

What is a waist cincher and what’s the difference between a cincher & a corset?

Good question and exactly what I asked my friends  So this is just my opinion remember but:

A waist cincher is a not dissimilar to a corset although it is designed mainly, as you would imagine by the name, to hold in the tummy region giving you that flat stomach look.  You may hear some folk refer to this as shapewear but that’s a generic term and the cincher comes into it’s only little category really.  It is more under the title of ‘compression underwear’ I think.  They can range in price and support levels and mainly have the zipper type fastening at the back I find.

A corset can be for many reasons, and designed for those reasons too, such as being sexier or for medical purposes!  People will sometimes wear a corset on the outside of their clothing to look all Victorian, sexy or just different!

Really, it’s up to your how you define the difference between the corset and the waist cincher but I think the cincher is more practical and serves a real purpose.
