Wearing the corset for 6 hours a day is just about do-able. However, 8 hours a day seems to be a problem.
I was in so much pain yesterday after 6 hours, that I admit..I gave up and took it off.
I'm giving it a break today. I will try 8 hours tomorrow, and if I succeed, I will continue for another week until I'm comfortable wearing it for 8 hours before reducing to 28.5 inches.
I think this is the best answer, as you shouldn't reduce until you are comfortable wearing it at the last measurement for the full time stated.
But then, what do I know? I'm making this shit up as I go along!
Please feel free to leave a comment. Are you a waist trainer yourself? Do you have any advice?
It would be lovely to hear from any others out there.
Look at this picture! She's looks so happy!
If only........
Please, if you are going to waist train, get a proper corset for the job, you will get nowhere with an off the rack corset, you need something made to measure. Any good corsetiere making a corset for waist training should be taking an absolute minimum of 7 or 8 measurements, probably a lot more. Please have a look at http://lucycorsetry.com/ she has a lot of good advice and youtube videos about corsets, how they should fit, what to look for and waist training.
ReplyDeleteWell, I guess I won't be waist training then, as I cannot afford a made to measure corset. :(
DeleteWhile I am not waist training in any serious sense, I have several corsets that I can manage to wear comfortably, and one that seems to have a vendetta against me. I sympathise, and hope that you can get a made to measure... I don't have one, mine are all generic off the rack, but maybe wyte phantom is right. Was yours an underbust or fukll corset by the way?
ReplyDeleteThis one is a 24 spiral steel-boned under-bust from corsets-uk. It's zip front and reversible, but I've only ever worn it one way, as I thought it might not shape properly if I kept turning it inside out.
