00:00
Faja have been holding us down.
00:03
I mean in for a long time and finding the right faja
00:11
is a journey. Honestly,
00:12
I feel like it finds you.
00:14
Oh yeah. So here to help me learn more about faja
00:17
culture is Barbie from Exotica lingerie.
00:26
I'm so excited to be here.
00:27
Thank you for inviting me.
00:29
I am from Exotica lingerie and I brought all the faja.
00:35
With the fa who are purchasing them the most.
00:38
It's a very diverse.
00:39
It's for everyone. It's not just the aesthetics but also for
00:43
medical reasons. I have young girls purchasing waist trainers so they
00:47
can start waste training the waist.
00:49
Also have elderly women that either suffer from sciatic nerve or just
00:53
back problems. And also for men,
00:56
the men that have the FSA and they have all that extra
00:59
pressure in the lower back.
01:00
So it's for anybody.
01:02
I've never heard about men wearing FA.
01:04
That's interesting. My dad has a little fans.
01:06
I feel like we should get our dad,
01:10
you know, for health reasons.
01:12
Exactly. For health reasons you can bring them in.
01:14
I'll size them and it's something to wear on a daily basis
01:17
It's just a matter of getting used to it off with
01:19
maybe a couple of hours a day and within a week there's
01:22
no reason why you shouldn't be able to stand it.
01:24
So you're supposed to wear them every day.
01:26
You should, you should.
01:27
And is it true that it really does shape you?
01:31
There'll be a time where you can take it off and your
01:35
obviously it's not from one day to another.
01:37
It's a process but instantly from wearing the garment,
01:41
you see the difference and that just,
01:43
it works with your self esteem.
01:45
It motivates you to want to wear it every day.
01:47
Next thing you know,
01:49
you start wearing it every day,
01:50
you start receiving results within weeks.
01:52
That's true. Of course,
01:54
the quality of the faja make a big difference.
01:58
The faja is Colombian.
01:59
You know, you're Colombian.
02:00
Colombia is the capital of Faja.
02:02
Yeah, I think I wore my first faja when I was
02:12
no, it sounds dramatic.
02:16
on a first communion dress shop and you know,
02:24
just Colombians, we like,
02:29
I did not wear that dress.
02:31
But that was my first experience with a faja.
02:34
Now, tell me what is the right way to put them
02:36
on because it's always a struggle.
02:39
but there's different types of,
02:41
faja, there is sway in,
02:43
there is the Chacos of this and there is the full
02:48
body faja. So you have to make sure you get the
02:51
right size, you tuck in everything you lift and you just
02:54
got to make sure that you have comfort because at the end
02:56
of the day, if you're wearing something that is extremely tight
02:59
it's going to defeat the purpose.
03:00
You're going to be very uncomfortable and you're going to be discouraged
03:03
and wearing it. I feel like the faja recently got like
03:06
we actually have a video of the senora putting it on me
03:11
honey, you never need a pick her side.
03:13
Come here, let me show you a little trick.
03:16
Brace yourself, suck it in,
03:19
squeeze those cheeks to suck it in.
03:23
Come on work with me.
03:26
I was like this like I was like,
03:28
oh shit, what is this?
03:31
it was really uncomfortable but I tried to go an extra size
03:37
and, and the lady was like,
03:38
no, no, I aa I'm just like,
03:41
girl, I cannot breathe,
03:43
my organs are screaming.
03:45
It's still going to work regardless.
03:47
But again, you want to make sure you have comfort because
03:49
if you can't breathe,
03:50
you're not going to want to wear it.
03:58
Let me see. Let's get into it.
04:02
So these are the ones that I carry at Exotica Lingerie.
04:05
So this is the best trainer.
04:08
So this focuses all midsection upper back.
04:13
So you don't get the Gorditos the back for your back posture
04:16
And even for like sciatic nerve,
04:18
it helps relieve pressure.
04:28
All right, it covers all the upper back.
04:31
So the proper way of putting the waist trainer on,
04:34
we're going to tuck into the sides,
04:36
help me out with both sides.
04:37
Grab both sides and turn around this way just a little bit
04:40
just a little so you can see.
04:42
Bring it in. Oh Snap,
04:49
Your waist just disappeared already.
04:51
Did I disappear? It is gone.
04:54
Ok. So at this point,
04:55
we want to make sure that we tuck in everything to the
04:57
side. So you don't feel suffocated in any way and we
05:00
don't create any creases or indentations as well.
05:09
now I can do it by myself,
05:17
It's Jenny from the block.
05:24
It looks what do y'all think?
05:27
BBL Jenny, you look,
05:30
it looks amazing. Yeah.
05:31
Turn it around so we can see your back and so it
05:33
covers all the back prevents from any love handles coming up from
05:37
the top. It helps all the back posture.
05:39
Oh my God. It makes the world look bigger and then
05:42
just make sure you sit down and maintain your posture straight boob
05:50
job and everything, all that.
05:51
Wow, guys, I see myself like a trip to Colombia
05:59
Amazing. Thank you so much for coming.
06:02
I love it. And where can we follow you?
06:05

06:06
