    Thanks for all the responses. Especially the male response :)

    Here's the youtube link I was talking about. She has a whole channel diticated to corset training and reviews on different corsets.

    Btw what is foot binding? Sounds painful:laugh:

    chinese thing where they break your foot and fold your toes in, so that you can squeeze into tiny shoes

    Actually foot binding wasn't really for tiny shoes, it was done to very small female children to make the feet "beautiful." It became a status symbol, a man with a wife with bound feet could be proud because it meant he was rich enough to marry a woman who was crippled and could not work. Ugh.

    I didn't even think of trying this... I only wore corsets for renaissance faires.
    I'm intrigued.

    I have a couple of under bust corsets, and I absolutely love them! They really are great for posture I find (I have an office job, plus starting out on a home-based photography business, so I sit at a computer A LOT), and for throwing on underneath a dress to give that nice hourglass shape :), I just find I don't have the discipline to wear them all the time. Go slooow is my only advice if you're actually planning to waist train. Sure you might be able to squish yourself however many inches, but if you're not used to it, not only will your body be in pain but you're likely to give up on it more quickly too.

    Yes I know, if done properly it can give some amazing results. And I see it a lot safer than pills or whatever. I just need to get strict with it...and find a new corset cause I lost the cheap one I had

    Thanks for the advice. I don't plan to sleep in it just yet and to only wear it no more than 10 hours a day (minus shower and exercising). As my waist gets smaller and I get use to it, I'll up the hours.

    I'm kind of considering it since my waist is a couple of inches too big for my liking, but I'm fine with my chest and hip measurements. I have lost over an inch from my waist in less than a month on MFP, just from diet and exercise, so I don't even think I'll need it though.

    Tightlacing?
    I think it's pretty cool unless you go over the top & end up like Ethel Granger, I heard that if she took her corset off, she'd snap in half.

    aww I hope she was happy, to me that looks very sad because it also looks unhealthy. To work that hard and end up with something unhealthy makes me sad :cry:

    Ethel Granger? It was her choice & she's always been perceived as being happy.
    She had the smallest waist in the world, just 13 inches! :ohwell:

    Well, the pics of Ms. Granger cured that nagging hungry feeling I had - there is barely enough room in her "waist" for her spinal column! Can you imagine how cramped or displaced her internal organs must have been?

    OUCH
