What are the dangers of wearing shapewear for a long time?
2022-03-29
Recently, it has been found that many babies with a leg circumference of more than 45cm are trying their best to "squeeze" themselves into xxs or even xxxs shapewear. Although I have always advocated that the product is "tight but not tight", seeing this situation, I desperately want to persuade: "We must do our best, not the tighter the wear, the better the effect."
For example, we wrapped a rubber band around our fingers several times. After a while, we obviously felt that the blood was blocked, and the skin was white and bloodless. The same goes for shapewear that is too tight. If the shapewear is too tight, it can interfere with daily activities and blood circulation. On the contrary, it is easy to cause swelling, and it is difficult to reduce swelling. The reduction of the circumference is not as good as expected, which greatly reduces the effect!
So how do you find the size that suits you best?
Each brand of shapewear comes in different sizes. Don't make decisions based on impressions alone. It is best to browse the size chart or consult directly before choosing.
We know that shapewear that is too tight can affect recovery, so shapewear that is too loose is also not good for recovery at the surgical site. After surgery, it is necessary to choose a suitable shapewear to pressurize the surgical area, speed up the reduction of the circumference and the recovery of the legs. If the shapewear is too loose, there will be no compression effect, the effect is definitely not ideal, you must choose the best size for you.
Advantages and disadvantages of shapewear
The shapewear can achieve the effect of body sculpting by strongly pressing the prominent fat and muscles of the body, and is favored by many beauty ladies. Experts are not against the use of shapewear, but they remind you that shapewear by itself does nothing for weight loss. While few people are hospitalized for discomfort from wearing shapewear, long-term use can have negative effects, such as affecting blood circulation, preventing waste from passing through the body surface, compressing internal organs, and possibly even fertility. It is recommended that each 2 to 3 hours to release shapewear for 1 hour. Teens should wear shapewear with caution.
Wearing shapewear for a long time without losing weight will also damage internal organs
Shapewear compresses the protruding fat on the body with powerful force to achieve the purpose of body sculpting, but don't wear shapewear for too long! Shapewear itself doesn't burn fat, so no matter how long you wear it, it will still "return to its original shape" once you stop using it. If you love beauty, don't think that after wearing it for a long time, a beautiful figure can be permanently "shaped". It is rare to see people hospitalized because of discomfort in wearing shapewear, but if the shapewear is not worn well, the fabric is not good, and you are reluctant to take it off, there will still be problems.
1. If the shapewear is too close to the skin, it will make the blood circulation of the skin poor, and the nutrition cannot be transported to the skin, which is not good for the skin.
2. It can compress internal organs and affect the blood circulation of local muscles and nerves. Insufficient blood supply can affect local tissue function and even cause damage.
3. Sweat, toxins and other excreta cannot be discharged through the skin and accumulate on the skin surface. In addition, long-term wearing of tight shapewear can easily lead to excessive temperature around the vulva, thereby reducing the quality of men's sperm and leading to infertility. Breeding bacteria, infecting gynecological diseases, affecting pregnancy.
4. Bound waist and abdomen, affect eating, reduce gastrointestinal motility, hinder digestion and absorption, and easily cause constipation.

The hazards of wearing shapewear for a long time:
1. Harm the urinary system
The female urethra is short, wide, straight, and muscular. When the abdominal pressure rises, it is unable to resist the impact of urine, and it is prone to urinary incontinence. If you wear shapewear for a long time to lose weight, it is easy to cause the intra-abdominal pressure to rise, and the bladder will tilt forward and press down, making the posterior angle of the connection between the urethra and the bladder larger and straighter, which is more unfavorable for urination control.
2. Harm the reproductive system
Often wear shapewear, because the crotch is too tight to wrap the buttocks, sweat, vaginal secretions, leucorrhea, menstrual blood, etc. cannot be distributed in the humid and hot environment, which stimulates the vulva and causes vulvitis. If skin abrasions cause dermatitis and bacterial growth, retrograde infections can lead to vaginitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, and urinary tract infections. At the same time, tights can also affect the breast and buttocks development of adolescent girls, which will adversely affect future childbirth and breastfeeding.
3. Injury to the circulatory system
Tight-fitting shapewear will directly affect the blood circulation of the waist, so that the waist muscles cannot get enough nutrition supply, resulting in lumbar muscle strain. If it affects the blood circulation of the pelvis, it will cause diseases such as pelvic congestion and uterine hypoplasia. If the inferior vena cava deep in the abdominal cavity is compressed, the blood returning to the heart will be relatively reduced, causing symptoms such as dizziness and dizziness.
4. Harm the digestive system
Wearing shapewear for a long time to lose weight will change the position of the kidneys, spleen, liver, stomach, intestines and other organs in the abdominal cavity, affect the function, affect the normal peristalsis of the stomach, reduce its function of digesting food and absorb nutrients, resulting in malnutrition and constipation, and Induce hemorrhoids, anal fissures and other diseases.
5. Harmful to the respiratory system
There are two types of breathing exercises for normal people: thoracic breathing and abdominal breathing. Wearing shapewear for a long time to lose weight will hinder the contraction and relaxation of the diaphragm, affect the normal progress of abdominal breathing, and make people feel difficult to breathe. In the long run, it will cause great harm to the respiratory system.
For example, we wrapped a rubber band around our fingers several times. After a while, we obviously felt that the blood was blocked, and the skin was white and bloodless.
