OOPS!

Coming as no surprise to anyone, snatched waist queen Kim Kardashian has designed a waist trainer that claims to provide her hourglass figure. Made with a very thin neoprene fabric, the Skims Waist Trainer is practically seamless and can be worn under all types of clothes. On top of that, the fabric is mixed with spandex so it is very stretchy and comfortable to wear. Most waist trainers can only be worn for a few hours, but this design is so smooth, seamless, and comfortable, users can wear it all day as part of their outfit.

While not as light as some, the Osprey is so well balanced you’ll barely notice the extra grams, and the Robic 100 per cent post-industrial recycled high tenacity nylon, while extremely thin is tough, surviving gorse during a misguided shortcut, with ease. It’s easy to set up and adjust, and with features like the Split Strap Technology (to distribute weight evenly on your shoulder), neoprene padding, and silicone inner grip, it’s a feature-rich and highly functional camera strap. Cons – Not small enough for Ryanair’s stingy personal item allowance! Carrying over the shoulder can be quite heavy if you overfill it.The Tarion Vintage Camera Strap fastens to your camera using the metal loops at the top, much like any regular Nikon or Canon camera strap – it just looks a whole lot better with its vintage… dare I say it… hipster aesthetics! The camera strap scarf section offers a choice of stylish patterns to suit every taste, whilst the strap section that attaches to the camera is strong, easy to adjust and dependable. Principally designed for those people with titanium mugs, sporks, a love for freeze-dried dinners and bivvy bags; it is technical, versatile, surprisingly stylish and very comfortable.

Lance Camera Straps was created in 2012 when a street photographer was looking for a camera strap to suit a long day walking around with his camera. It’s a family-run business that offers a range of handmade in the USA, stylish, durable mirrorless camera straps.

The best waist trainers you can buy in 2023

Having the camera hanging off one shoulder is arguably the fastest way to gain full access to the camera, but it can also be rather insecure. Wrist straps can be attached to the right or left side of the camera depending on your preference – their simplicity makes them the best camera straps for mirrorless shooters or for any camera whose small size/weight would make a bulkier strap an annoyance. Weight: most running belts are lightweight, but if you're a particularly petite runner, or you're planning on wearing the belt over a long distance such as a marathon, the lighter the better. Fortunately, most camera straps are relatively inexpensive when compared to other camera gear, which will allow you to own more than one. The Gordy Strap was created by a photographer who couldn’t find the strap he wanted on the market. Originally a one-man band, Gordy has grown into a local, family-run business where they create a range of beautiful, handmade leather camera straps.
