getting Started

First, you must ask yourself a few simple questions:

• Is this your first time wearing a corset?
• Do you want to shape your entire body?
• Do you want to make your waist look smaller?
• Do you want to correct your sitting posture?
• What is your breast size?
• Do you also want to make your breasts bigger?
• Are your breasts symmetrical or asymmetrical?
• Do you have a short torso?
• Do you have narrowed or compressed ribs?
• Will you wear it long-term/frequently/seriously?

There are no right or wrong answers to these questions. However, it can give you a good idea of ​​what type of corset you should buy.

1. Higher vs. Lower

Starting from the top of the style tree, there are two categories − Lower Bust and Bust is too large. Just like it sounds, some things cover the chest and some don’t.

• Bust Disadvantages – harder to install, harder to move, more expensive, less lung capacity, easily visible under clothing,

• Overbust Advantages – Better posture support and possible back curve correction, large breast support,

• Lower Bust – The advantages and disadvantages are exactly the opposite of the above points.

2. style

Corset– Not really a corset, more like a shapewear, no tightening at the waist

Corset/Corset – Length to natural waist, with shoulder straps (ideal for broad shoulders)

Mid chest/flat front – Straight front, suitable for those with cleavage, small cup size or asymmetrical breasts

Edwardian era – Flat front with S-shaped hips

Honey – Modern, commonly used by brides, not suitable for asymmetrical breasts

Cup – Similar to the sweetheart type, but with cups, should be custom made

Hincher – Shorter than underbust (but If you have a short torso, cinch your waist Become (below chest)

3. Shape

Cone – Shaped like a cone, with a straight line along the ribs and a straight or curved line along the hips, the simplest look, the most attractive, and the least uncomfortable shape for your ribs (unless you have compressed ribs or don’t plan on drastically reducing them)

Hourglass– The waist and hip lines are rounded, the waist is well defined, it is quite a bit smaller but more favorable to the waist, and is more suitable for new wearers or long-term wearers.

Cup – (not referring to corsets with beast cups), rounded waist and hip line, more extreme than hourglass, no compression in the rib front and sides, more for slimmer people with less padding, “square” look.

pipeline – Must be custom made for more serious waist training.

U-Shape – Typically a cheaper corset with a tapered top that creates a smooth waist curve and a tapered hip curve with a shorter hip, best suited for those who want the look of a corset but don’t want too much squeezing.

Wasp waist– No one has decided on the correct definition of this, confusing the above terms (or combinations) to either Shorter A corset that cinches or slims the waist.

4. “Other”

Also known as Brazilian corsets or Fajas.

These are latex/rubber and closer to Spanx than corsets. They are good at reducing moisture retention (the material doesn’t breathe at all and you sweat a lot).

However, latex can give some people a rash (myself included) and only reduces 1-2 inches. Better mobility, but lots of kinks and wrinkles under clothing.

Might be good for exercise.

5. Posture assistance

There is a way to fix this sagging without wearing a full-body corset (although they do work).

The “Shoulders Back” brand is often used by competitive riders (who need perfect posture).

These aren’t fashionable at all – they’re just practical.

6. Measurement

When using the measuring tape, make sure it fits snugly over the area, but not too tight.

• Know your cup size – It should be just right, not too small or with any gaps

• length – If you have tight abs, a shorter one is fine; if you need to control your abs, a longer one is fine

• Amount of reduction – Know if your goal is to lose 2 inches (5 cm) or 4 inches (10 cm)

7. Other suggestions

• Don’t tie it too tight around your hips. You need enough room to move and sit. The same goes for your chest. It should be comfortable, not suffocating.

• Corsets also wear out, just like shoes.

• When you first put it on, don’t tie it like you normally would. Just let it sit snugly and let your body get used to it. Then you can tie it tighter.
