Guys Try Waist Training, Hilarity Ensues

by Alexa Tucker

I don't think I've ever been less inspired to try this odd body-sculpting trend. In a hilarious new video by Cosmopolitan, a handful of guys tried waist training. Needless to say, most of them weren't as big of fans as Kim Kardashian and kompany are.

The video starts off with one of the guys saying what all of them were thinking: "This is already uncomfortable." The next guy quips: "Is this going to crush my bones?" Well, maybe not your bones, but probably your organs. Later on, Man Bun (let's call him Man Bun from now on, K?) says, "this is honestly a form of torture I think they used in the middle ages."

Yes. Yes, it was.

Among the other reactions: "Is it weird that I'm not feeling my knees right now?" and "call up NBC — I'm ready to do Gone With the Wind Live." And, the most obvious and hilarious question: "I should have rolls of fat coming out of my fingers. Where is it going?"

My thoughts exactly. I've never tried waist training, but it seems like a much more brutal form of Spanx. Check out the video below, and take note of the best comment in there (from Man Bun, of course.) "Ladies, just be yourself. You don't need this."
