    Beautiful girl but I don’t favor the hourglass look.

    Cheers on accomplishing that level though.

    This is probably a dumb question, but does this put an stress on her internal organs? I mean in the movies when girls have corsets (like Pirates, heh) she can barely breathe. Like I said, probably a dumb question.

    Anyway, conrats on the progress cutie!

    Yes, it puts pressure on the internal organs, as if I’m not mistaken, its pushes them down??

    I’m no expert on corset training, obviously, considering I’m a boy, but to the best of my knowledge, yes.

    #32,
    I’m pretty sure there are some dangers involved with corsetry, not sure how dangerous or if at all but one would think it would cause some type of stress on internal organs in that area.

    #24, corsetry has been around for a very long time and it is’nt a put on the corset waist gets smaller and then take off corset waist goes back, it’s a permanent modification that has risks to it just like piercing and tattooing

    It doesn’t put any stress on my internal organs, no. The only real problem is it’s harder to smoke while I’m wearing it! Haha, if that can be called a ‘problem’. 24″ is actually not a massive reduction for me – between 6 and 8″ depending on the day. It took me about 6 months to be able to close that corset (although I don’t wear it daily), so it’s definitely made a subtle change to my body over time. It doesn’t really hurt to wear it anymore, and I love the way it makes me feel. I feel so much more confident and sexier in a corset.

    Now I just need to save the money to buy a 22″ corset! There’s an amazing corset shop in Glasgow, so I’ll head there. Bit of a hassle to find a spare hundred pounds, though… Might be time to get a job.
