Subject: Another fresh fish... :)
Hello everyone! My name's layne... just wanted to drop a line and get introduced here. This is quite a site! I've read up on a lot of things here already and I'm rather impressed. So a little bit about me and my plans perhaps...
I'm a 21-year-old genetic male who's basically transgender or whatever foolish title has been put on it at the moment... I've owned several over-the-counter corsets that I enjoy but give me significant pain if worn for more than a day or so. I am extremely active and yet still hopeful that I can balance my activities with corset training. I've recently purchased an underbust training corset (looks almost victorian or hourglass in shape) from www.meschantes.com. It's a custom corset, cotton, made specifically for waist training. I ordered it at the beginning of October and expect it sometime next month, so I will let you know of its functionality. I have several slight concerns about training though...
Ideally, I would like to be in a corset 23/7. I am extremely busy though and my body is heavily taxed almost daily. I'm a full-time student which isn't so bad, but my livelihood is my full-time job as a line cook for a restaurant... this job is demanding. Constant motion, heat, lots of crouching forwards or bending over... So that might create a serious issue with going 23/7. My goal with training is to shrink the lower ribcage a bit and get a 6 inch reduction or so to the waist... I understand moving the floating ribs takes inordinate amounts of time and I'm definitely willing to work towards that. My concern is that if I find it utterly necessary to remove the corset for work every time, will my 35 hours a week outside of the corset hinder my attempts at serious waist reduction and rib displacement? And if I find the corset unwearable at work and it is shown that not wearing it for that time period would be detrimental for my waist training, is there another option in regards to something that could be worn while working that's more flexible yet still trains me down? Issues, issues, issues...
Essentially, my current plan is to get the corset, break it in gradually, and then start really going for it. Once it's broken in and I'm comfortable with my level of lacing (I'm going to be going at this solo) then I'll give it a shot at work. I am rather concerned about being functional at all at work with it...
That's the basics of me, the very basics. I don't have many good pics of me at all but I can throw on the leather corset I have now and beg a friend to take some...
That way I'll have something for this site. Basically I'm just looking for some advice, tips, thoughts, whatever right now as to how I should approach blending this in within my lifestyle! Thanks, everyone!
