Waist Training

[Lainey Belle{★}]

 Forgive me if this discussion has already taken place, but I could not find it. 

      I'm thinking about starting corset/waist training it a bit, but like any good girl, I do my research first  :)

   I was wondering if any of you who have already gone through this process have any input, advice, or suggestions on what corset I should train with.  I've heard that cotton is the best because it allows your skin to breath the most and that one will be wearing it almost 24/7 for awhile. Because of this, I want to make sure I get the most "comfortable" one, so I will actually finish the training. So, any brands you think are terrific would also be a welcomed comment.

Thanks!

I found this article about it:

VERY interesting. Good luck!

Different people have different opinions on "the right way" to tight lace. Really, as long as you're squeezed and unable to breathe, you're doing something "right". =0p

I have two corsets that I used for training, both made of leather and being from DGFH7.com. Great materials and reinforced steel boning, so there was NO bending allowed. They helped get the job done, anyway, and I plan to corset train back down once I'm done being preggered. =0]

Anne Grogan of Romantasy is one of the leaders in the corset industry and has a great website all about corsets and training.  She is also a pretty nice person and would probably your emails if you needed a question answered.

Thank you for pointing me in the right direction ladies!

Yes, try to go for breathable and durable fabrics, can't go wrong with good old coutil.

For recommendations it would be good to know your budget.

I was all set and ready to get a training corset and then I realized something. I just had 2 babies 1 year and 20 days apart and I think I'm going to get my ab muscles back into shape before I start my training. I'm almost there! As soon as my abs are back to normal, then I'm going to begin that training. I think this way it would be easier on me. How is yours going?!  Once I start I don't want to drag it out....but I'm a bit concerned on how feasible that is. Is your skin toughening up?  Thank you for checking back!  :)  I'm so excited to start! I just don't want to make it too hard on myself where I won't finish.

elli roe, where did you get your corset?

[Tracy 'Dezzie' Rhodes {★}]

I'm curious about this too Ellie. I don't have a lot of funds to put towards a corset, but would like to give this a try. Anyone else have a good one they use that won't break the bank?

Getting a cheaply made corset would be completely useless & more of a waste of money than putting in the money to buy a good one in the first place. That being said, I'm FINALLY getting a training corset! I found one that was being sold on Romantasy being made by a lady (Jill of jillcorsets) who makes who has her own Etsy shop. The same corset was double the price on Romantasy. When I asked the maker about this she said it's because you get waist training advice & help from the lady with the corset.  I'm not sure I'm willing to pay slightly more than double the price for some advice I could find through google since I don't have weight to lose with the training. Ya know?

You should totally be able to breathe while tightlacing

It's been a long time since is done this,before two boys actually. My corset is long since gone,and is like to get one decent one to train with. I love the feeling of corsets ,let alone the results. I have to say when I first started doing this,I had no thought of getting pregnant. Is finally got my ribs the shape I wanted and they didn't want to spread out to accomadate baby.
I wonder if we could all go to one place and get a group deal? Let me know if this seems like something we would be able to do.
