Our best seller — the classic Colombian waist cincher. Firm latex compression defines your waist the moment you hook it, while the thermo-active core drives heat and sweat exactly where you're training. The cotton-lycra inner lining absorbs moisture and keeps you comfortable through long sessions, steel thread boning holds the shape without rolling or folding, and three rows of hooks let you tighten as your body changes.

Materials: Natural latex core (low-allergen alkaline heat-cure process), cotton-lycra inner lining, steel thread boning. Available up to size 50.

The PonteBella latex line: Handcrafted in Bogotá since 1980 from tree-tapped natural latex, cured with our alkaline heat process that reduces the water-soluble proteins behind most latex sensitivities. Three rows of hooks, steel thread boning and a thermo-active core built on four decades of Colombian faja craftsmanship — made by women heads of household.
