Kim Kardashian looks tinier than ever while wearing waist trainer corset

She’s made no secret of the fact she was unhappy with her post-baby body for a long time, but is Kim Kardashian putting her quest for the perfect body ahead of her health?

The 34-year-old, who gave birth to baby North West last summer, posted a picture of herself wearing a waist trainer on Instagram today, showing how slim she’s been getting in the last few weeks.

Kim captioned the snap: “I'm really obsessed with waist training! Thank you@premadonna87 for my new waist shapers! #whatsawaist.”

It’s not the first time she’s turned to corsets to whittle away her waist – back in August she shared a gym selfie while wearing the device, which claims to be able to shrink figures by up to seven inches.

The idea behind the technology is exactly the same as with old-fashioned corsets: wearing one for short periods of time every day is said to change the shape of the body, but some medical experts believe it can damage the internal organs. Grim.

She certainly looks way smaller now than she did just two months ago, but where will she stop?
