Marketed specifically towards women who often experience more trouble toning their lower abs, it is a simple and stylish cushion that makes exercise easier and, according to the [Japan Trend Shop](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/japan-edition-ginza) site, more effective. Essentially, how this cone-shaped Lower Stomach Beauty Trainer cushion works is that once the user slips her (or his) feet into the holes, he is then expected to twist from side to side to work his stomach muscles. Priced at $67, the Lower Stomach Beauty Trainer may just be worth it. In the end, if it doesn't actually trim your belly, at least you'll have another [cute cushion for your living space](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kenko). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.1/10 - Popularity: 38% | Activity: 77% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **At-home Fitness Innovations:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop more creative and effective at-home workout products, catering to specific problem areas like lower abs. - **Functional Design in Exercise Equipment:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Combine fashion and functionality in exercise equipment, creating stylish and effective workout accessories. - **Targeted Fitness Solutions for Women:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Design fitness solutions tailored to the needs and preferences of women, addressing specific challenges they face in achieving their fitness goals. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fitness Equipment:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Incorporate technology and ergonomic design into fitness equipment to enhance workout experiences and improve results. - **Home Decor:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate fitness and wellness products seamlessly into home decor, creating dual-purpose and aesthetically pleasing items. - **Health and Beauty:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Merge fitness and beauty industries by developing products that enhance both physical health and appearance. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Targeted Exercise Training Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glute-trainer.md) - [Ergonomic Glute Isolating Dumbbells](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tonerbum.md) - [Game-Powered Core Training Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hero-core-trainer.md) - [At-Home Body Contouring Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/celluma-contour.md) - [De-Stressing Wearable Massagers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/am1.md) - [Posture Correcting Prone Cushions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/comfort-space.md) - [Pelvic Floor Exercise Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tenscare-kegel-toner.md) - [Targeted Calf Muscle Exercisers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/calf-buster.md) - [Firming Belly Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tighten-smooth-belly-cream.md)
