Kati jang is the thinnest waist. Records. The thinnest waist in the world. The thinnest waist in the world today

Beauty is a terrible force. Many of us, in pursuit of perfection, are ready to go to any tricks and extreme measures, even if it is detrimental to health. Someone tortures themselves with diets, others resort to the services of plastic surgeons, forgetting about the measure, and some dream of such a thin waist that they are ready not to breathe or eat, ruthlessly pulling themselves into a corset. PEOPLETALK offers you photos of women with incredibly thin waists who managed to survive. Don't try this at home!

Ethel Granger

The first owner of the thinnest waist was the Englishwoman Ethel Granger. She is listed in the Guinness Book of Records, because her waist was pulled down to 33 cm with the help of a corset! She had such a waist at the whim of her husband, astronomer Arnold Granger. He was a big fan of corsets. To please her husband, Ethel was on a diet and mercilessly dragged herself into a corset for 10 years. Bottom line: from natural 56 cm to 33. Unthinkable, but real.

Cathy Yung

The waist of 78-year-old American Kathy Jung is 53 cm, and her height is 165, but the woman manages to pull her waist circumference with a corset to 38.1 cm! I tried to imagine this picture in my life. It's hard to believe that this is possible. The desire to shrink the waist to a shocking size for Jung arose for a reason. The woman has a love for Victorian fashion and has been wearing waist belts since she was 38. Remarkably, Katie did not do any operations and set a record as the owner of the thinnest waist in the world.

Nerina Orton

Englishwoman Nerina Orton (24) from Birmingham has been wearing a corset since she was 14 and has the smallest waist in the UK. Nerina literally attracts the astonished glances of others. The natural waist circumference of a young Englishwoman is 56 cm, but Orton pulls her up to 40 cm. Wearing a corset for a long time, of course, could not but affect her health. Orton admitted that when she removes the corset, she feels the movement of the intestine, which is trying to return to its original position. However, this does not frighten Nerin at all, and she does not even take off her corset for the night.

Michelle Koebke

The waist of the German Michelle Koebke was reduced from 64 cm to 40. She achieved this result not due to diets, but all the same slimming corset. Every day for three years, Michelle did not take it off, even while sleeping. However, the young German woman is not going to stop there and dreams of a waist of 38 cm. Michel is already struggling to get out of bed and cannot fully eat. Also, because of the corset, the muscles of the back and abdomen atrophied in the German woman.

Joana Spangenberg

Unlike the previous heroines of our rating, Yoana (30) does not at all strive for a thin waist, on the contrary, she is desperately trying to get better, eating high-calorie foods and sweets, but all to no avail. With a height of 167 cm, the Romanian model weighs only 38 kg, and her waist circumference is 38 cm.

Ann Ward

American model and winner of the 15th season of America's Next Top Model Ann Ward made our list for a reason. The girl has such a thin waist that you can easily wrap your hands around it! With a height of 189 cm, the waist circumference of the model is 56 cm. Ann admitted that she is terribly complete because of her tall stature and excessive thinness. However, despite this, Ward is quite successful in the modeling business and has already appeared on the pages and cover of Vogue Italia.

A thin waist is an object of admiration for men and the cherished goal of many women.

What do the owners of the three thinnest waists in the world look like?

1. Nerina Orton

Nerina Orton from Birmingham, UK dreams of having the smallest waist in the world. Nerina is only 22 years old and her waist circumference is 40 centimeters, so she may well achieve her goal.

Nerina has been wearing a corset since the age of 14. There are certain health issues that can arise from her obsession. The woman's body has adapted and grown with the fact that she has been wearing a corset all this time, so every time she takes it off, she feels her intestines moving, trying to get into a more natural position.

Nerina works part-time as a burlesque dancer and wears a corset even when she sleeps. While other people prefer comfortable nightgowns and pajamas, Nerina wears a specially tailored corset for the night.

Without a corset, Nerina's waist is 56 centimeters.

Her goal is to break the record of American Cathy Jung. Corset lover from Connecticut, Mrs. Jung wears a corset 24 hours a day and has been able to reduce her waist to 38.1 centimeters. She is 165 centimeters tall and holds the current Guinness World Record for "The Thinnest Living Human Waist".

And here is the champion Katie herself:

2. Cathie Jung

American Katie Jung was born in 1937. The girth of her waist in a corset is 38.1 centimeters. Without a corset, her waist circumference is 53.34 centimeters. Her fascination with Victorian clothing manifested itself at the age of 38, when she started wearing belts to gradually narrow her then 66 cm waist. She also underwent waist correction surgery.

Currently, she is the owner of the thinnest waist in the world. Her waist is about the same size as a regular can of mayonnaise in America.

3 Michele Koebke

For most of us, a small waist is the result of a careful diet and plenty of exercise. But not for 24-year-old Michelle Kobke. This Berliner has managed to shrink her waist from 64 centimeters to 40 centimeters with a corset she's been wearing for three years now, even while sleeping. Despite having a smaller waist than most models, the skinny German says she hopes to narrow her waist down to a shocking 38cm.

And for sweets:

Mr. Pearl - waist 45.7cm!

Mr. Pearl is not just an eccentric, he is a "Corsetier" or corset maker.

Among his clients are Kylie Minogue, Victoria Beckham, Dita Von Teese and many leading fashion houses.

The generally accepted canons of female beauty are still subject to the parameters 90-60-90, but this is how we break the rules!

And if we remember the owners of the largest breasts and the largest fifth point with enviable regularity, then it's time to talk about those who can boast of a real aspen waist.

To open the rating of "10 girls with the thinnest waist in the world" rightfully belongs to the unsurpassed 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! But what they really care about is Betty's unique parameters, "prisoners" 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 now and then became the owner of titles, like "Miss Figure" or even "Miss Television". By the way, it was she who was the first in history who managed to get the rights to all her photos and receive% of their publication. But most importantly, it was Betty Brosmer who created the image of a playful girl who gave life to the pin-up trend and prepared the audience for the future star start of Marilyn Monroe!


27-year-old Aleira Avendano often hears in her address - "Venezuela's silicone misunderstanding" or "wasp woman", and such nicknames were attached to the girl not by chance. It is known that she is 19 years old and wears a corset for 23 hours a day. For 7 years, Aleira managed to narrow her waist to 50 cm, while increasing her hips to 115 cm and her chest to 97 cm.

Doctors scare the girl with an imminent deformation of the internal organs because of such a strange hobby, but these words had an effect on Aleira exactly the opposite - today she does not take off her corset even at night, but only if she takes a shower.


The name of Valeria Lukyanova has long been associated exclusively with the revived Barbie doll. It is known that the similarity with the famous toy was brought to the girl not only by painstaking work on herself, but also by the help of plastic surgeons. But be that as it may, today Valeria's waist is 47 cm, and does not increase solely due to special nutrition and a belt that pulls her waist up to 43 cm and does not allow her to eat an extra piece, even if she really wants to!

From day to day, the “queen of burlesque” will celebrate her 45th birthday, but the reflection in the mirror stubbornly proves to her that now she looks better 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 around 56 cm, and in a corset - 42 cm.

The ex-wife of rock musician Marilyn Manson says that she has such parameters thanks to physical exercises 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.


Glory to the head of 26-year-old Ann Ward fell on her head, as soon as she crossed the threshold of the Tyra Banks show “America's Next Top Model”. It turns out that with a height of 188 cm, a chest measurement of 84 cm and a hip measurement of 90 cm, her 59-cm waist seemed like it could easily be wrapped around her arms. In general, then the girl conquered not only the main presenter, but also all the members of the jury. And then - off we go: 5 best photo shoots in a row, Roberto Cavalli show and a contract with IMG Models!


The figure of the Romanian model Ioana Spangenberg is called the "hourglass" behind the eyes, and 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, eating a lot of sweets and indulging herself in unhealthy goodies, like chips and barbecue, 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 had fun 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 “dragged on” in the name of love, or rather, her husband William Granger had an obsession with the idea of ​​​​having a wife with an aspen waist at hand, and Ethel fulfilled his desire! By the way, for the sake of her beloved, she did not take off her corset throughout her life, got into the Guinness Book of Records, and then also became famous for having pierced her face.


We all guess that the wasp waist is often the result of the work of plastic surgeons or bullying over 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 literally became related to the corset, for several years she has not taken it off day or night. But the worst thing is that the muscles of the back and abdomen of the girl are atrophied, she hardly manages to get out of bed, and she has to eat very small portions 10 times a day! Do you think Michelle is stopping it?


This year, American Kathy Jung will celebrate her 80th birthday, but you won’t believe it - this beauty still holds the world record as the owner of the thinnest waist in the world 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, Katy began wearing waistbands and corsets, changing her waist circumference from 66 cm to 53 cm without a corset and 38.1 with a corset. Want to be shocked even more? Then imagine that Katie's waist is about the same as ... a mayonnaise jar!

Birmingham resident and burlesque show dancer Nerina Orton is the owner of the well-deserved title of "the narrowest waist in the UK", but she has long identified the main goal of her life - to break the record of Katie Jung! And it seems that everything is moving towards that ... It is known that Nerina began to wear a corset from the age of 14, and she will never take it off. Her waist circumference to date has reached 40 cm in a corset and 56 cm without it. Nerina does not care why she constantly feels the movement of the intestines, which is trying to take a natural position, because all the forces are thrown to win. Well, shall we wait?

Many girls dream of a perfect figure. The generally accepted parameters, 90-60-90, usually serve as a beacon for both those who want to lose weight and those who are chasing perfection.
