We established yesterday that you need to slowly ease your body into long periods of corset training. The example given was 2hrs a week but this is a lot slower than most people take it. It’s really a case of listening to your body and easing up if you begin to feel uncomfortable. Don’t rush and do concentrate on comfort. If you don’t enjoy being in your corset, you won’t want to put it on every morning.
So how long should you build up to? Again it depends on the individual and what feels right for their body. I’d say 8hrs is the minimum if you plan to constrain your waist over time, this is a good time period for maintaining too. Most people naturally progress to more though and it is not uncommon for serious corset training to reach 23 hours a day with an hour uncorseted for exercise and bathing. 23/7 corset training normally involves wearing a different corset at night, often the one you recently grew out of, to maintain tiny waist size from expanding during the night. I don’t advise doing this until you’ve been tight lacing for several months and then only if it feels right.
