Day 6

Well, this week has been interesting to say the least. 

Wearing a corset everyday take some time to adjust to, I can tell you. 

If you wear it under clothes it's kinda ok, but you need to think about what you wear, as you don't want any lumps and bumps in the wrong place. 

Jeans are a no-go, but I don't really wear them much anyway. The problem with jeans is that the fabric is so thick.....the corset doesn't give a true inch measurement and it can get uncomfortable quite quickly, what with the thick seams and waists and all that.

I tend to wear skirts and tops, or it can look really nice over a dress.

One problem I discovered......when I dress in the morning, I put tights on. Fine you say.....well, yes...perfect. Until you try to go to the bathroom, and the waist of the tights is tucked right up under the tight corset and you sort have to dig the waistband out, just to be able to 'go'. So.....lesson one....if you wear tights, or anything that needs pulled down.......give yourself extra time! Don't be waiting until you're about to burst! Much swearing and cursing went on those first few days until I learned my lesson.

Another thing I have learned today.

Every day I have removed my corset by unlacing the back (even though it is a zip front). this is good practice as your corset will undergo less stress and it is easier to get on the next day.

Last night, I was so happy to get out of it after 4 hours, that I just unzipped without loosening. Which was fine until I put it straight on today without unlacing it.

The shape was wrong, I didn't adjust to the shape, it was digging into my ribs and all the wrong places. In short, it bloody hurt to wear.

I undid it, loosened it, and adjusted it, then re-tightened. Amazing! Really comfortable again.

So I will never again be putting it on with the day before's settings in place. 

Tomorrow is my day off....then on Thursday, Friday and Saturday I have to wear it for 6 hours a day. 

if this week is anything to go by, I'll adjust quite easily.

I had backpain for about an hour on the first day, but after that, it's like my posture is going 'Oh! OK...this is what we're doing now, OK!'

Bodies are amazing aren't they?
