Upon hearing that Jessica Alba shrank back her stomach back to its pre-baby flatness after 2 births by way of using a corset, I was 
intrigued and had to try one myself. If it works for post-baby, then what about a bit of a muffin-top belly, a pooch, or a little unwanted extra padding. When I investigated The Almighty Cincher further, I learned that not only is it extremely helpful in taking inches off your midsection, but it is also great for back pain and general posture.
I laughed as I began to hook myself into the flesh-colored “Almighty Cincher” corset that Amia sent me – way back when, I used to be an actress with The Royal Shakespeare Company, we had to wear just this kind of corset on stage every night, because in the Elizabethan Era, the only time you’d remove your corset would be for bed (and sometimes not even then.) So, it bought back memories – painful memories!
The Almightly Cincher has a PowerLatex core with a comfortable cotton lining. It felt strangely rubbery in my hands, but once strapped around my core, it felt surprisingly comfy, and extremely supportive. I sat at my computer for a couple of hours, and it totally made me sit upright with a way better posture than usual. Then, I took it on a test run – a literal run. I stuffed my Chiahuahua, Lucky, into his harness and we took off. I rather hoped I was going to bump into someone because aside from the weight-loss/posture benefits, the Cincher made me look as if I have an 18-inch waist, but alas – the only neighbor I passed was the “dog” lady with her 8 snarling mutts.
The latex core is supposed to increase thermal activity and I can promise you that is does just that! My mid-section was more than toasty after a short and not very vigorous run. I’m going to wear it to a spin class this week and am expecting my waist to reduce by at least 2 inches – in fact, I’m expecting my waist to melt away!
Also, what I like about Amia is that $1.00 dollar from your purchase will go towards The Woman’s Alliance, which gives career training and work attire to low-income families.
Update: I wore the Cincher to a spin class, and I almost passed out. The rest of the class thought it hilarious because I strapped it OVER my tank. The “thermal activity” was so profuse that I felt as if I was going to melt into a puddle on the floor. The class agreed that if it worked for Jessica Alba (and from photos snapped of her in People Magazine, she’s clearly doing something right,) it might work for them, too. “Where can we buy one?” they all demanded. I could have sold 14 of them on the spot!
