The Kardashian / Jenner clan has a massive following on social media, which is why it’s even more upsetting when they promote products that make false claims or are considered dangerous. They’ve been doing this for years, but the latest product Kim Kardashian is promoting (page 5) has both fans and critics upset.
Waist trainers

Both Khloe and Kim Kardashian have promoted waist trainers for years, which they say they wear during their workouts. Waist Gang Society, which the family has promoted on social media, claims that using their trainers can “radically reduce your waist size; instantly giving you a beautiful, sexy silhouette while permanently getting rid of unwanted inches around your waist.”
Waist trainers and corsets have been used for centuries to give the illusions of a slimmer waist, but experts caution against them for long-term use. Not only are they ineffective (you actually use your core muscles less while wearing them, and any weight you lose will be water weight from the extra sweat), but they can be dangerous. After all, your organs are being compressed.
