Omg I need to try this!
I really noticed though I wish I got the moderate curves model because I want to slim my lower stomach more than my waist and the extreme curves model I got even when completely closed (mines about 8" smaller than my starting measurements) doesn't really do much for that area.Originally Posted by Bonnie Krupa /img/forum/go_quote.gif

Wearing a properly fitted corset is safe. It does help with appetite control, Karren is right on that. When does it become unsafe? If you train with a corset to get a wasp waist that is when it becomes unsafe if you're being trained by someone who knows what they're doing. The other way it becomes unsafe is if you have a corset that is fitted too tight to begin with. Corset training is a slow and gradual thing and most women who were corset trained were trained at a young age. Unfortunately long term use of a corset to obtain the wasp waist can lead to internal problems but that's LONG TERM use. I use to wear a waist cinch, similar to a corset, after my first three pregnancies since it helped me get back into shape faster, I didn't with my last two and became fat because I was constantly eating. lolOriginally Posted by Johnnie /img/forum/go_quote.gif
If it worked for you it may work for others. I wouldn't try it because I for 1 couldn't bare wearing that all day and 2 is it really safe?
I disagree with wrapping your body in plastic. It's fine if you're doing it for a short amount of time. When I competed in beauty pageants I would wrap my waist and legs in plastic, after applying lotion, and wear it for a couple of hours, sometimes overnight (especially my dry feet). At high end spas they use to do this and then wrap the women in ace bandages then in an aluminum blanket.Originally Posted by SarraSanborn /img/forum/go_quote.gif
I lost 4 inches on my 'normal' waist and 8 inches on my lower stomach in a little under a month. I 'tight lace' in heavy moderation almost every day.
Orchard Corset has some really awesome deals and they have corsets that are healthy for you to wear, with full steel braces and a nice metal 'door;' on the front. If you want to lose in your ribcage and lower stomach area go for low or moderate curves - waistline itself only go for extreme curves...
Wrapping your body in plastic is not good for you. it's bad for your skin, your health, your organs and much more.
Just please everyone never ever wear a corset tight right away, never try to 'tight lace' or lose weight with a corset with plastic or non-steel boning, make sure the fabric is sturdy NOT satin, and make sure it has the two metal strips in front.
You WILL get hurt otherwise. And you WILL only have yourself to blame.
I've now been wearing mine at least 4 times a week since valentines day and i don't notice i'm wearing it anymore.. other than not being able to bend over easily.

Apparently, if you wear one for a really long time it changes your body shape too...that's what the girl who played Anne Boleyn in The Tudors said anyway.

I forgot to post this a month ago but I wore a girdle all day (special occasion) and when I ate, I only ate maybe 1/2 of everything. I was stuffed!
How does a corset make your core muscles weak?Originally Posted by MichelleMUA /img/forum/go_quote.gif
I would try "corset training" but I have been working on toning up my body, & corsets weaken your core muscles. I'd rather be thick but firm, than tiny & soft. But it looks super cool...except when it goes extreme & looks dangerousD:
