Subject: Longterm results of corset training?

I'm interested more in body modification than the corset itself. If I stop wearing the corset except for special occasion after waist training down by 8 or 9 inches, how much of the difference in waist size will be permanent?

Permanent:

Your lower ribs been permanent changed, and your breathing been permanent changed/increased.

Partially permanent:

The fat-cells die after two months.

Not permanent:

The muscles been weak and thin in corset, what give about 2" of the waist reduction after years of waist training.

The midriff go up in chest in corset, and that give about 4" of the waist reduction, immediately.

The muscles been stretch as the broad waist been round and that give about 2" of the waist reduction, but is reversible after only a half hour. And demand a half hours hard tight-lacing to stretch the muscles.

4" waist reduction is immediately, 6" is possible, but 8 or 9 inches is only if you use corset permanent.

I old days they have a second way of tight-lacing, they lengthen the waist and extend the chest. As the women pant as a opera singers. The longer waist was thin and easy to shape.

Peter is spouting his usual rubbish!

If you stop tightlacing your body will return to its "original" shape. How long that takes depends on the extent of the change imposed by the corset. If your ribs have been moved inward they will move back out - perhaps not to the exact shape as before.
Look at photos dating from the 1920's and later of well known Edwardian tightlacers.

KEEP TIGHT!!!

We have a more modern tightlacer who stopped wearing her corset and I think she wrote it only took some days for her natural before lacing shape to return.
Spooks own site (not working for me) http://www.spook.dk/

Take a look at this page also click on her old look.

I tightlace 23/7 and as soon I remove my corset for a shower my waist starts to expand back but my trained ribs stays the same. I could not go a day and have the same small waist shape without my corset.

The soft bits will slump down to their original (or almost) position and the ribs will reexpand. It is inevitable. Our bodies are flexible and elastic, not rigid. Anything flexible and elastic that is taken out of its natural shape, once released, will return to its original shape. In less than a week, most is lost.

Any woman, including me, can get the same shape as the Bettie Page picture without wearing corsets just by posture. Bend forward at the hips, bring the chest up by arching the back, and that cavity under the ribs appears by magic.

And by reading the "Toleration" article, I see that the good doctor seems to be just looking for excuses to rant against corsets. His obsession for the "deformities" demonstrates his bias against corsets and tightlacing. And some of his illustrations prove that the reshaping effects are not permanent.

So far, tightlacing has only done me good. I don't wear my corset to work, but I am working on a discreet solution that will reduce the effects of not being tightlaced.
