Hi Corsetmetightly and welcome to the boards.

I have done corset training with a male and it was very successful. He lost a whopping 6 inches off his midriff but obviously that took time.

If you are going to go for tight lacing, you need a very well boned corset and my advice would be to go for an under bust because its far easier to put on and take off and its less restrictive. I would also suggest getting one specially made. We are all different shapes and when it comes to the lower rib cage, you really don't want that to be compressed by a badly fitted corset.

Always go for a corset at least 4-5 inches smaller than your actual size. The lases will gape at first but as you start to lose weight, the corset will close tight around you. :)

Start wearing it for a few hours a day to begin with, preferably at meal times and then built that up to around 4 to 5 hours a day. Never be tempted to sleep in it, it won't do you any good.

The thing to keep in mind is, its not the actual corset on its own that makes you lose weight, though you will sweat more whilst wearing it. You must eat less and exercise more. Wearing a corset during meal times doesn't allow your stomach to expand and so you will feel fuller quicker. It also supports your spine when you exercise. A good corset will act like a medical corset.

I wear corsets a lot when I go to fet clubs and I can honesty say that I find them extremely comfortable. Tight lacing makes me feel more upright, you really can't slump when your wearing one. I'm also much more careful what I eat before or whilst wearing one.

You are welcome and yes, if it means losing weight and getting fitter, they can be a health benefit. Like you say though, take things slowly, do your homework and if you decide to give this a try, get yourself a really well made bone corset.

A tip: when you wear a corset like this, make sure you wear a thin cotton undergarment. Corsets can't be thrown in the washing machine and so you need to protect them.

I cannot see corseting being successful weight loss plan. Weight loss comes from taking in less calories than you are burning. Corseting can reduce your midsection with time. But that is more due to the rearrangement of muscles and internal organs. Now if you put the corset on him before he eats, then its a possibility as his stomach will not be able to expand to accept as much food. Now that could lead to weight loss.

Corsetting is not for weight loss, but shape change. If you waist train 24/7, yes, you will be more inclined to eat smaller meals (it gets uncomfortable to eat large meals whilst corsetted) but you certainly can still overeat calorie wise.

That said, if you have a problem with sporadic binge eating, and commit to serious waist training and stick to a true 24/7 corset waist training plan (in other words, you corset even at night with a sleeping corset etc) you may be less able to/inclined to binge as it will be physically difficult/uncomfortable.

You are better off working on a real behavior modification plan with regards to eating, adjusting to a sensible diet/excercise plan, and if you are truely interested in waist training, integrating that as well.

Might a corset not loosen up the fat around the midriff so that's carried away by the bloodstream more easily?

No it doesn't Peon but lots of people use corset training as part of a weight loss programme and not all people who wear corsets or do corset training are into the fetish scene. People often think that corset training is unique to the BDSM/Fetish scene but its been going on for years in the vanilla world. Corset training can be specifically for weight loss or used on its own without diet and exercise which obviously doesn't help weight loss.

Corseting does bring up some other ideas now that I think about it. Its seem to me that a tight corset would not allow the person to take a deep breath. Wonder if it would keep a sub's "volume" down while being tormented as they really could not get a lung full to be all that noisy? Thoughts to ponder?

No, corseting will not help you lose weight. Having a caloric intake that is less than your out put will result in weight loss. Yep, it is that simple. The secret is out. I've saved you a ton of cash. Look at this link, this is what corseting does. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/10/11/corset-diet-health_n_4082004.html

Long term use bends in the ribs and displaces the internal organs. You want to wear one short term for an outing, great, I do too. But it is about as wonderful long term for a woman as foot binding to "re-shape" the body.

Here are some lovely images of x-rays from the early 1900's when wearing a corset was much the rage. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2329820/From-squashed-ribs-displaced-spleens-vintage-X-Rays-reveal-shocking-impact-corsets-womens-bodies.html

The short of it is there is nothing wonderful about what it does to your body long term. Does it have a "fetish" look? Possibly. More importantly why do you feel the need to pander to what the media advocates is "beauty."? Why do you want to damage you body and risk health issues for this? Are you insecure or just want to be a lemming lead by the media. Be your own person.

This is about as beautiful as Chinookan head flattening...remember some idiot thought this was a "hawt" look. http://ohs.org/education/oregonhistory/historical_records/dspDocument.cfm?doc_ID=000C37E3-9D3A-1EE8-827980B05272FE9F

StrictlyADomina, I disagree with your post.

Oh and mummyman, correct corseting should never impede breathing. If the corset is designed properly, its firm around the ribs but it should never put pressure on the actual rib cage, only on the midriff. Modern day corsets are designed to nip the waist and lift the cleavage, whilst remaining firm on the hips and rip cage.... nothing more.

Over the years I have seen many badly fitted corsets. I've seen voluptuous women climb into something they needed 4 sizes bigger and as the lacing is tightened, the fat moves up and down (either end of the corset) to escape. There 40 inch waste is battled into something much smaller in an effort to get that hour glass shape. That kind of corseting isn't healthy and speak to any good professional corset fitter and they will warn you off.

A properly fitted corset should feel snug but never uncomfortable. Modern day corsets are not the same as Victorian and Edwardian corsets where by the time a girl was 11 or 12 she was laced into something nothing less than torturous. Modern day corsets have made health and safety a huge consideration. All you have to do is have one fitted by someone who understands corsets. Its not about shape changing, its about shape enhancing.

My step dad has inoperable curvature of the spine and worn a corset for over twenty years. This corset (which of course was fitted properly) has allowed him to lead a relatively normal life. He still plays tennis which would be impossible if his spine wasn't being properly supported.

There are many physical benefits to corseting http://lucycorsetry.com/how-corsets-heal/physical-benefits/ but we are still comparing corseting to binding feet. Corseting has hugely moved on from the damage our ancestors did to their bodies in the name of fashion

Corseting is the latest in a long line of gimmick diets. Yes food is tasty and exercise sucks. Wearing a corset to accomplish a result of weight loss and make your waist look small in a short period of time is just a gimmick.

If you like that look, great! If you like wearing a corset, wonderful. I like wearing one for very short periods of time 3 hours tops and for me it is more of an accessory, like earnings. I'm not wearing it to make my waist look smaller. That's me.

Advocating that this is a wonderful way to lose weight painlessly and look smaller doing it with not having to do anything about nutritional choices is just silly. The health benefits your article cited focus on the corset as type of back brace and yes, back braces have benefits for some people. The claim that it can solve headache problems and constipation issues are not back up by medical evidence and just make me giggle. But, hey if you have a crushing headache coupled with constipation you probably want relief anyway you can get it. There is documented evidence that placebos work for many people too.

It is the latest fad diet. There are problems with this, you need to be aware. This doctor advocates against it: Jyotindra Shah, M.D., a physician specializing in medical weight loss and founder of the Amari Clinic in Scarsdale, N.Y., said that the method could cause a host of major physical problems, such as a lack of oxygen intake into the body.

“Because the corset is so tight and is applied on the lower ribs, the body won’t receive the proper amount of oxygen it needs to thrive,” Shah told New York Smash. “Oxygen helps every aspect of the body, from organs to skin to brain to metabolism. This type of damage to the metabolism can also cause long-term health issues, possibly causing individuals to gain more weight in the long-run.”

The garment’s tightness could also result in damage to internal organs.

“Wearing the corset so tightly can bruise not only the skin, but cause permanent damage to the organs close to the skin, including the liver and spleen. Overall, this type of ‘diet’ is not only going to be ineffective for weight loss, but could also cause serious long-term damage to one’s body,” said Shah. Here's the article: http://newyorksmash.com/corset-diet-is-a-dangerous-weight-loss-trend-experts-say/

Here's another doctor who says it's about moderation.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2451134/Corset-diet-Extreme-weight-loss-trend-sees-women-constricting-ribs-12-hours-day.html

Disagree with what you will, some people make lifestyle choices that are bad for them despite what health care professionals advise. That's not new. I find abundant humor in the fact that this was an issue that doctors advised against 100 years ago ..............and are still having to say this has risks. Some of our sisters still fall for gimmicks, fad diets, surgery to measure up to some man's idea of "beauty". You would think that we women would have moved past this debate about femininity, self worth and self esteem but perhaps not.

Corset dieting has been used since the corset was first developed, its certainly not a new fad. Its just changed and now has a load of health warnings and cautions. Corset diets insist on exercise and less calories but then I said that in my initial post.

So you wear a corset but you wear one thats the wrong size? Whats considered a fitted corset will always pull you in at the waist. If it doesn't then its too big and too big a corset moves all over the place because of its rigidity.

Who is advocating that? I haven't for sure and neither did my links.

Thats not what we are talking about though is it? We are talking about wearing a corset, eating less and doing exercise.

Whoever is saying its the latest fad diet, needs to do a little more research. Now of course it can do harm if the corset isn't fitted properly and impede lung capacity but any diet that isn't followed properly can be dangerous.

A properly fitted corset fits firmly but no more firmly than a prescribed medical corset, around the lower rib cage. A fashion corset snips in at the waist making waist look smaller and the hips look bigger. It shouldn't snip in any more than if you were to voluntarily pull in your stomach.

I also suggest to the op, If you really want to talk about this with others, I suggest you go and join the corset training groups on FL. They have 3 thousand members as well as 15 thousand members who are curious.

It dosn't lower my volume but effects the duration as I as I start to find it takes all my focus just to breath.

And on the healt side I fine it massivly improves my diet but tgats because I tend to skip meals then over eat to compensate. You can't over eat in a corset trust me and then you get hungry more oftern.

My goodness, if you're having trouble breathing your corset is not properly fitted!

I used to be a fairly severe asthmatic and had no difficulties breathing in a corset (at least, no more than usual). In fact, it really helped my back at that point, and I still find corsets to provide better support than a bra when I'm going to be out... there's just the whole inability to bend thing.

A corset won't make you lose weight, but it would be harder to eat a large meal while in one, and if you're wearing a nice expensive corset, if you're anything like me, the idea of getting it grubby with snack food is just horrifying. So I suppose it might help, but seriously, if you want to lose weight? Take a good look at your diet and physical activity levels. If you just want to wear an awesome piece of fashion, then corset away!

Were you breathing through your chest or your belly? According to yoga, belly breathing is very important. Wiki is not as effusive, but still positive: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diaphragmatic_breathing

Only when I laugh to much but I have trouble breathing when I start giggling (i get hysterical giggle fits when tickled or embarrassed and neither of them happen on a frequent basiz nope never) anyway its harder to get back under control when in a corset. Every other activity I'm fine with even the more energetic ones

A corset diet - thats a new one on me :D

Another thing not mentioned here yet if anyone is going to be corsetted for long chunks of the day is you will loose some muscle in your core as your body no longer needs to support itself
Yes the support may be of benifit to someone with medical problems - but for a normal healthy person it isnt really a great idea

I love corsets, they look fab! but that is all they should be. They are not a diet and they are only a lifestyle for the very extreme who want to risk big changes to their body
