When I got my first Timeless Trends corset, my bf discovered his latent corset/waist-training fetish, and for a month, I wore it 6+ hours every day and had hot, crazy sex every one of those days. I was very close to closing the corset, having started with a 4 inch gap in the lacing, when I noticed that I could barely eat any food without becoming uncomfortably full - it worked like an external lapband. On the one hand - yay! I'm gonna lose weight. On the other - damnit, I can't get proper energy anymore because my stomach's too small. It did make my waist slightly smaller even without it on (and with it on, 5+ inches smaller), but it also was starting to make me winded easily - even without it on. Waist training, if you really want a difference in your waist, WILL affect your internal organs and eventually the diameter of your ribcage. If you waist train for 6 months+ those changes might become semi-permanent. Mine went away within a week or two, because they had only started happening. If you're thinking about doing this, you should really know this in advance. Also keep in mind that to get a change in waist size, you're committing yourself to multiple hours of a lot of discomfort, every day, for months. IMO, it's not worth it for a cosplay.

Would the same things happen if you wear your corset below 5 inches of reduction?

well, it isn't good for anyone that enjoys breathing.

also, the feeling of your internal organs getting pushed around is really very nauseating. you can't pinpoint which organs they are, but you know *something* isn't where it used to be before you put on the corset

I can't even bend at the waist properly in a corset... I pretty much have to take a full minute and bend very strangely to pick things up off the ground... it makes me feel like an old person.

In my experience, corsets are great on the back when you're standing and walking, but waist training would mean wearing one to work under my clothes. I just have a retail job, but it would get in the way. I can't think what would happen if I tried to wear it to my old, more physical job. And >>4825174 How the hell did you fuck in one without destroying the boning with hip/waist movements?

>>4825202

No offense, but you've probably gotten a badly made one if you can't bend at the waist. The good ones use springsteel or something similar so that you can move fairly normally in them but still have the support/retention of metal boning.

Have fun destroying your liver.

What would be a good corset to start?

I may agree with you this once kabuki mouse, but I still dislike you. You're like a bad taste that won't go away.

I wouldn't do one just for cosplay, but I've thought of doing it just because I think it would be fun/look good. I feel my waist it already small (39-27-42), so I havn't yet but idk maybe I will at some point.

Oh look, its what happens when anything heavy/tight leans up against your skin for a long time.

>>4825174
Thanks for mentioning the website! I've been looking for a nice affordable corset for my posture. :D

>>4825272

good grief! that's what an undershirt/slip is for. all that sweat against the corset is gross D:

>>4825286


That's not sexy... If take off the corset from a girl and see this, sincerely, my fire goes out. Love beautiful and perfect skins, those marks are one of the MOST disgusting thing to see on a girl skin...

LOL this thread.

Well, waist training means you should have a custom made corset. If you are hurting yourself from it, arent eating, etc, you are doing it wrong. It is a SLOW process after the initial 'squishness' factor comes in. You also do have to change your deit to avoid thing that would make you bloat. If you try to tighten it too much too fast you will cause actual damage.
>>4825174
You really did it quite badly. You tried to close it too fast. You shoudlnt HAVE that much discomfort.

>>4825331
Thanks for telling us about your weirdo sexual hangups, bro.

>>4825342
>omg a guy likes nice skin? WHAT A WEEEIIIRDOOO

>BRB STRANGLING MY BODY TO CONFORM TO 1920'S FASHION

>>4825331
Man. What happens if you get a girl out of her skinny jeans or elastic lined panties then?

Oh. Wait.

Thank you. I needed a reason to use this.

>>4825355
Pretty sure jeans don't make you look like branded cattle.

>>4825352
In the 20s it was fashionable to not wear a corset. Thats when regular underwear and bassieres were being invented.
Now, 1920s fashion if you were in your 60s....

>>4825355

don't know about the suppost boy sexual issues, but skinny pants are normal and if the girl is truely hot she will use something that fits perfect on her without having to look like she's hot (some uses a size under just to try to look perfect)...

but things like >>4825279 are tottally grose to see, that's fucking true

>>4825375
>she will use something that fits perfect on her
Jeans don't have to be too tight to leave marks. And the elastic band in underwear is obviously going to be a little tight...it's elastic.

>>4825355
Not exactly. Basically, it's like this person said: >>4825355
Yeah, it's not pretty and can look pretty painful, but tight jeans, elastic-waist panties, bras and a lot of other things can cause that. Depends on how long you've been wearing it, how much you've been moving around, sweating, etc.

>>4825392

kay, but it's not ridiculous...

>>4825375
K. To each his own.
But I don't know why the seam lines from jeans don't bother you. And the lines the from underwear.
Unless you're not very sexually active.

Take off a girl's bra? "OH GOD! THE LINES ON THE BEAUTIFUL SKIN!"

Bras will leave more marks than even jeans and underwear will.
Going to get grossed out and lose your boner?

>>4825397
Your English is ridiculous. Go away, little man.

>>4825407
Hey hey! Let's poke at him without poking at his English! Second languages are hard.

My finger, it's wagging at you bro/sis.

But, carry on.

>>4825406
Bras don't leave lines like that, retard.

Does anyone know some places where they sell good corsets? Any that I've bought in the past were like wearing cardboard.

The /cgl/ diet:

Eat whatever you want, then try to stuff yourself into a corset.

>>4825468
Where did you buy before? Uk corsets and Timeless trends are common for beginner corsets. It should be very hard at the busk and the back when you are wearing it.

>>4825460
If you wear one with a wire for a long time it will. Also those lines go away pretty fast. They're not permanent.

>>4825482
I've normally bought from various sellers on eBay. I get the feeling that was the problem to begin with, but when I got the and wore them at first, the were nice. But a week later the springs/plates got a litte too stiff, then the fabric after.
>fffffuuuuu

>>4825489
i can vouch for this.

I wear a 32A cup bra and i get those lines like a motherfucker under my tits/shoulders.

Why? because it needs to be tight, otherwise it slips and slids.

Get the fuck over it. Their just fucking lines. i bet tomorrow you guys will be saying bed head is gross. Its not like its not easily fixed/goes away on its own.

>>4825505
Feels bad sis. No really, it kind of feels pretty uncomfortable.

>>4825502
Ebay is sketchy. A lot of the times they advertise steel boning in them, and it is really only steel at the busk, and plastic everywhere else, or none at all. A real steel boned corset will feel heavier than normal clothes in your hand.

>>4825505
I cant believe you actually think you can fool people into believing wear a bra gives you corset-like marks on your body. If your bras are doing that to you then I suggest choosing a better brand or learning how to wear a fucking bra.

>>4825518
Yeah, I though so. derp

I have a Timeless Trends corset and I too find it impossible to bend at the waist so.... ?

>>4825527

Dude, bunch a part of you clothes up and lay on them for an extended period of time and sit up. Look at where the clothes were against your skin. Garaunteed you'll have marks just like those "corset marks" on your skin.

They're not permanent and anything pressed against your skin for a long period of time will do that.

Get your panties out of the wad they're in and calm down.

In the beggining my skin become just like those on the pictures, but I've learned from an Pin Up friend how to look for the perfect coserts and practice the fine art of patience to wait your body goes slowly to the perfect shape...
This is how I look right now... and I'm happy with it ^^

[sorry my terrible english, i'm from Brazil]

>>4825581
You shouldnt be able to bend at the waist. It is the most restricting there really.

>>4825527
Ever fall asleep on your hand for hours?
Slept on a bunched up sheet?
Saw some kid fall asleep on their backbag and wake up with a fucked up face?

..Those are all common. And the "corset lines" you're referring to in this threads images are extreme. That should have been obvious right away.
Again, even panties will leave marks.

Those images were extreme and some people wear shirts or liners under their corsets.

The lines go away.
Stop whining.

>>4825460
You haven't worn a bra before or seen one that was taken off. If you have bigger boobs then yes you will have those marks on your shoulders for sure.

If you're complaining of a corset hurting, or being uncomfortable....you're doing it wrong. A corset--particularly a waist-training corset--is a garment that needs to be custom fitted to the wearer. Trying to 'speed up' the process by wearing a size too small or lacing too tightly too quickly will cause injury.

I myself have corset trained in the past, and I'm considering doing it again. I haven't had any issues eating what I want (I tend not to eat things that make me bloat anyway. That means no carbonated drinks, oatmeal, etc.), and I've never felt any pain or discomfort, nor had any trouble moving around.

Of course, corset training isn't a weight-loss fix--you're just pushing body tissue around a bit. If you want to actually lose weight and look fitter, diet and exercise is necessary.

>>4825527

I get those marks just binding my chest for 10+ hours a day at cons. Hell I even get some of those marks (and really badly too) when I lace my shoes too tight. Get the fuck over it loser.

Newbie here:

Best way to lace a corset? I feel like I'm always doing it wrong.

Mine has a knot in the centre, if that helps... like right in the middle of the back- the ends of the strings are glued/knotted together.

>>4825642
>Saw some kid fall asleep on their backbag and wake up with a fucked up face?

I loved seeing sleeping kids wake up with those lines on their face. They always looked so bad walking around.

>>4825685
There should be loops in the center. It will be obvious because the rest is X's besides that, and it is at your waist. Pull on them. The X's SHOULD be Over under over under like both sides of the X of an over X are on the top. You pull on those towards the middle, pull the loops more, then make a bow. If it is hard to understand, youtube it. Many peopel show this.

>>4825667
Maybe you should try losing weight, fatso.

>>4825968
>binding chest for crosplay apparently = being fat.
> size 6 shoes laced a little tight (so they will stay on my small feet) apparently = being fat.

>>4825202
Fucking in one was....not easy. If your corset has spiral steel boning, it will bend and twist a good deal without being ruined (IMO, flat steel boning is the WORST. Worse than plastic. Ugh.), but you can't bend at the waist much in most directions (to the person who said otherwise - spiral steel will bend a little at the waist, but THAT'S going to damage your corset, and also means it's likely too loose). On my back was easiest for me, but we ended up doing it doggy style most of the time, which entailed a lot of upper body strength on my part as I had to hold myself at the exact angle for the fucking to still be good, while not causing too much strain on my be-corsetted torso. Sort of like a plank position, where you use your abs to not let your ass stick out. But now I can do it, and being able to fuck in a steel-boned corset is a DAMN marketable skill.

To everyone who saying that I did it wrong because there should be no discomfort when waist-training....ummm...are we all clear on what we're talking about here? We're MOVING AND SHRINKING BONES AND ORGANS. Shit's gonna be uncomfortable bro. I grant you that the fact that I was using an off the rack corset, instead of a custom one, contributed to some of the day-to-day discomfort of wearing the thing and that perhaps I went faster than I should have, but if you didn't experience any change in appetite or breathing, any discomfort at all, you weren't waist training, because the definition of waist training IS shrinking those organs and cramping them uncomfortably in by making the ribcage smaller.

I've done corset training, I don't have pictures but I went from a 36 inch waist to a 33 inch waist when not wearing a corset. I love them, I have 3 over busts, 1 under bust and 1 half bust. I'm not much of a cosplayer, more of a goth, I love making my own clothes and this board is wonderful

>>4826064
There's a difference. If you're moving organs that drastically, you've gone past what's considered healthy waist training. An inch is about as far as anyone should go.

>>4826086
there's no such thing as healthy waist training

>>4826064
You shouldnt be waist training in an off the rack corset. If you are getting pain from your corset, you are doing it wrong. Yes, you are moving your ribs closer, but when you do it properly, it is slowly. When it starts hurting, it means you are having it too tight. Organs are not squished as much as you think, it is mainly your stomach really.Your lungs are were your breasts are, so they shouldnt be squished. Now deep breathes will be harder because that is your diaphragm, but normal breathing should be easy.

The MOST discomfort you should be getting is from bloating when you eat through out the day. Anything else means something is wrong. You probably got your pressure points bothered if it is hurting besides that.

Where should a beginner buy their first corset for waist training? I was going to get one from Timeless Trends, is there a better place to get one?

Not directly on topic, but could someone recommend a site that has good waist cinchers to wear under super hero costumes? I would love to invest in something that shows through as little as possible. Even something to train with before wearing said costumes would be great too.

>>4826125
If you just want to go down 1-2 inches (the typical reduction given by just wearing it) then go for TT. But if you want to actually waist train, get one that is made for it. You should really get one custom made for your body. You can try to use TT for it, but if you arent that 'standard' used, you may find it harder to close it after a while. The quality is good though.

www.corset.net

It caters toward fatties and is one of the best corset makers in North America. Prices are insane but you spend enough on shitty cosplay anyways. These corsets are so well made they can be paid for by medicaid if you have back problems.

A good, quality corset will cost you a pretty, shiny penny (or a few thousand of them).

I'm into the whole Steampunk thing and had a corset professionally made by the lady who is also making my Steampunk wedding dress.

Now, training your body to be deformed is not something anyone should do, but corsets themselves are awesome and take a bit of skill to get use to. Like breathing. That's a good skill.
