Many women want to have a thin waist, but there are also those who not only want, but also do everything possible for this. We invite you to read about eight women with the thinnest waists in the world.
1. Nerina Orton
Nerina Orton from Birmingham, UK, dreams of having the smallest waist in the world. She is only 22 years old, and with her waist currently measuring just 40cm, she is well on her way to achieving her dream.
Nerina has been wearing a corset since she was 14 years old. However, her obsession is associated with a health risk: the woman’s body has adapted to constantly wearing a corset, and every time she takes it off, she feels her intestines moving, trying to take a natural position.
Nerina works as a dancer at a burlesque show. She doesn’t take off her corset even at night: while many people prefer comfortable pajamas, Nerina sleeps in a corset. Without a corset, her waist circumference is 56 cm.
Her goal is to beat Katie Jung's record.
2. Katie Jung
American Katie Jung was born in 1937. Jung's height is 165 cm, her waist circumference is 38.1 cm in a corset, and 53 cm without a corset. Her enthusiasm is driven by her love of Victorian fashion, so at the age of 38 she began wearing waist-cinching belts, and her 66 cm the waist gradually became narrower. However, she never had any surgery to make her waist smaller.
Currently, Katie Jung holds the record for having the world's thinnest waist in a living person. Her waist is about the same size as a mayonnaise jar.
3. Michel Koebke
For most of us thin waist is the result of a careful diet and numerous physical exercise. But not for 24-year-old Michelle Koebke: her waist decreased from 64 cm to 40 cm as a result of wearing a corset every day for three years even while sleeping. Despite the fact that her waist is smaller than that of most supermodels, the German woman wants to reduce it to a record 38 cm.
However, her thin waist has already damaged her health: Michelle can hardly stand up, since the muscles of her back and abdomen have atrophied due to the corset. Her stomach is so flat that she cannot eat normal food and instead eats small meals 10 times a day.
By comparison, women have an average waist of 84.9 cm.
4. Ethel Granger
Ethel Granger had the smallest waist in the world - 33 cm. However, such a thin waist was not natural for her - the woman was influenced by her husband, William Granger, who was obsessed with the idea of a wasp waist in women.

30-year-old Yoana is 167 cm tall and weighs 38 kg. She claims that she eats three times a day and does not deprive herself of fatty foods like chips, pizza and kebabs. When she was 13 years old, many of her friends could clasp their hands around her 38cm waist.
Ioana says that she is trying to gain weight by eating sweets on purpose, but to no avail.
6. Ann Ward
Ann's waist is so thin that a person can easily wrap his arms around her. Considering that she is 189 cm tall, it is understandable why viewers of America's Next Top Model were shocked. Ann's thin waist impressed showrunner Tyra Banks and the jury, so Ann won the 15th episode.

She also exercises daily and wears a corset since she was 18 years old.
8. Valeria Lukyanova

In pursuit of a thin waist, a young German woman is mercilessly ruining her health. For several years in a row, the girl wears a corset, without taking it off even in her sleep! Without it, she can no longer move independently, since the muscles of her back and abdomen are atrophied. Michelle's stomach also suffers from her obsession - it cannot accommodate a full portion of food, so the girl eats like a bird, 10 times a day in small portions. Now the result of Michelle Kobke’s efforts is 40 cm at the waist, but she dreams of achieving 38 cm at any cost.Dita Von Teese

For this she is in large quantities eats foods high in fat (chips, meat, pizza, sweets), but her weight is still catastrophically low: with a height of 168 cm, Ioana weighs only 38 kg! At the age of thirteen, the girl’s waist circumference was 38 cm, today it is a little more than 50 cm.Fashion and beauty are too abstract and relative concepts, which tend to change. In any era, preference is given certain criteria and standards. Women in different times dream of miniature feet, pale skin, long hair or magnificent forms. But for some, dreams become an obsession, and we see the result in the examples of the participants in our rating. Is it beautiful today? Controversial issue. But the fact that it is harmful to health is clear.
Ethel Granger from Peterborough (Cambridgeshire, UK), the woman with the thinnest waist in the world. During her lifetime, Ethel was included in the Guinness Book of Records as the owner of the thinnest waist of 13 inches (33 cm)
Ethel was an ordinary girl. She did not wear heels, corsets, or earrings.
But after the appearance of her husband, William Arnold Granger, she began to change.
According to eyewitnesses, she did this to please her husband, through long periods of malnutrition and tight corsets. William turned out to be a connoisseur of very narrow waists, heels... well, everything that she hated.
He made it clear how wonderful it would be if he could put his arm around her waist while she was wearing a corset, and that his interests extended to beautiful, extravagant earrings that could elegantly adorn the ears. All his attempts to arouse Ethel's interest in corsets and earrings bore fruit. One day Ethel asked him to put his arm around her waist. To William's surprise, Ethel was wearing a corset. Meanwhile, Ethel became interested in the earrings. She knew that it would all hurt, like her friends had such earrings. But she decided to do all that. After one year of changes, Ethel wore very high-heeled shoes, beautiful earrings, and a short knee-length skirt. Heels six or seven inches (1 inch = 2.54 cm) was not exceptional.
The waist reduction was gradual, but William didn’t really like it, so he told her that she should wear a brace both day and night. Ethel was against this, but after long conversations with her husband, she finally agreed. Finally, she was ready, and she soon had to admit that nightwear had its advantages. From that time on, Ethel wore a corset day and night, and this regimen never changed.
Over 10 years, my waist size decreased from 58 to 33 cm! As William said: “if she could outshine other representatives of her sex in some way, then it was worth such torment.”
William also wanted to pierce her nose. At first Ethel refused, but eventually she agreed and the day was chosen for her septum piercing. He will blindfold Ethel so she won't be scared during the piercing. He used silver needles to push it through the partition and into a piece of cork on the other side. Ethel said she felt pain, but the piercing had already been done. Ethel was glad it was over. Ethel's nostrils were pierced in the same way. After a few months, the rod was removed from her septum, leaving a nice hole. Later, the hole in Ethel's septum was gradually stretched until finally she was able to wear a ring that was 8 mm thick.
Generally accepted canons female beauty are still subject to the parameters 90-60-90, but that’s our way of breaking the rules!
And if we remember the owners of the largest breasts and the biggest butt with enviable regularity, then it’s time to talk about those who can boast of a real wasp waist.
The top 10 girls with the thinnest waists in the world rightfully belong to the unrivaled Betty Brosmer. Today, the owner of the most beautiful female figure of the 40s and 50s is already 82 years old, but fans don’t care much about this! But what really worries them is Betty’s unique parameters, “enclosed” in 96-45-91.
It turns out that Betty began her career at the age of 13, and even then her every appearance at a beauty contest (and she won them more than 50 times!) or on the cover of a magazine caused irrepressible puppy delight! The male half of humanity did not want to let the beauty out of sight for a long time, which is why Betty every now and then became the owner of titles like “Miss Figure” or even “Miss Television”. By the way, she was the first in history who managed to obtain the rights to all her photos and receive a percentage of their publication. But most importantly, Betty Brosmer created the image of a playful girl who gave life to the pin-up movement, and prepared viewers for the future stardom of Marilyn Monroe!
27-year-old Aleira Avendano often hears “the silicone misunderstanding of Venezuela” or “wasp woman” addressed to her, and it is not by chance that such nicknames were attached to the girl. It is known that she is 19 years old and wears a corset 23 hours a day. Over the course of 7 years, Aleira managed to narrow her waist to 50 cm, simultaneously increasing her hip volume to 115 cm and chest volume to 97 cm.
Doctors scare girl with imminent deformation internal organs because of this strange hobby, but these words had exactly the opposite effect on Aleira - today she doesn’t take off her corset even at night, but only if she takes a shower.
The name Valeria Lukyanova has long been associated exclusively with the animated Barbie doll. It is known that the similarity with the famous toy brought the girl not only painstaking work on herself, but also the help of plastic surgeons. But, be that as it may, today Valeria’s waist is 47 cm, and does not increase solely thanks to special nutrition and a belt that tightens her waist to 43 cm and does not allow her to eat an extra piece, even if she really wants it!
Any day now, the “queen of burlesque” will celebrate her 45th birthday, but the reflection in the mirror stubbornly proves to her that she looks better now than even at 20! So, with a height of 160 cm and a weight of about 52 kg, Dita von Teese’s waist stopped at 56 cm, and in a corset - 42 cm.
The ex-wife of rock musician Marilyn Manson assures that she has such parameters thanks to physical exercise and a healthy diet - she rarely drinks, never eats starchy foods, and starts every morning with a vegetable cocktail of spinach, cilantro and parsley. By the way, Dita has been wearing a corset since she was 18 years old.
Fame fell on 26-year-old Anne Ward's head as soon as she crossed the threshold of Tyra Banks' America's Next Top Model show. It turns out that with a height of 188 cm, a chest volume of 84 cm and a hip volume of 90 cm, her 59 cm waist seemed like one that could easily be wrapped around with your hands. In general, then the girl conquered not only the main presenter, but also all members of the jury. And then - off we go: 5 best photo shoots in a row, a Roberto Cavalli show and a contract with IMG Models!
The figure of the Romanian model Ioana Spangenberg is called “hourglass” behind her eyes, and do you know why? Yes, because with a height of 167 cm and a weight of 38 kg, the girl’s waist stopped at around 50 cm. And plastic surgery has nothing to do with it! As Ioana herself says, she has long dreamed of getting better, eats a lot of sweets and does not deny herself unhealthy delicacies, like chips and kebabs, but to no avail. By the way, at the age of 13, the girl’s waist was no more than 38 cm, and her friends often amused themselves by simply picking her up with their hands!
Ethel Granger is known all over the world as the owner of the thinnest waist of the 20th century - 33cm! But it’s too early to rejoice or admire... It turns out that from the original 58 cm, the girl “tightened up” in the name of love, or rather, her husband William Granger was obsessed with the idea of having a wife with a wasp waist at hand, and Ethel fulfilled his wish! By the way, to please her lover, she did not take off her corset throughout her life, got into the Guinness Book of Records, and then also became famous for having a piercing on her face.
We all guess that a wasp waist is often the result of the work of plastic surgeons or abuse of one’s own health. The German woman was no exception, whose figure parameters are striking and at the same time frightening. It is known that today the girl’s waist has reached 40 cm from the original 64 cm, and this is not the limit. Michelle has literally become intimate with the corset; for several years now she has not taken it off, day or night. But the worst thing is that due to the fact that the girl’s back and stomach muscles are atrophied, she can hardly get out of bed, and she has to eat very small portions 10 times a day! Do you think this stops Michelle?
This year, American Katie Jung will celebrate her 80th birthday, but you won’t believe it – this beauty still holds the world record for having the world’s thinnest waist in a living person. The desire to get a unique figure came to the girl after her passion for Victorian fashion. At the age of 38, Katie began wearing slimming belts and corsets, changing her waist circumference from 66 cm to 53 cm without a corset and 38.1 with a corset. Want to be even more shocked? Then imagine that Katie's waist is about the same as...a mayonnaise jar!
Birmingham resident and burlesque dancer Nerina Orton has the well-deserved title of 'Britain's smallest waist', but main goal She had long ago determined in her life - to break Katie Jung's record! And it seems that everything is moving towards that... It is known that Nerina began wearing a corset at the age of 14, and will never take it off. Her waist circumference today has reached 40 cm in a corset and 56 cm without it. Nerina doesn’t care why she constantly feels the movement of her intestines, which is trying to take a natural position, because all her strength is devoted to victory. Well, shall we wait?
