Starting Out With a Corset

I’ve learned about corseting and I’m eager to give it a go.

I haven’t worn one before, but that’s what I want. So which is the better starting point…a waist trainer or? Also, how can you tell if the size fits right? Does anyone have some solid tips for picking one out?

"Corset"?:lol: You could start with a cheap off-the-rack model to see if you want to get serious about it. For your first one, aim for a maximum waist reduction of 4 inches. The specific type doesn't matter too much; what counts is what you expect from it. An underbust style is more subtle, while an overbust offers better bust support, which is great if you are well-endowed (I speak from experience). If you decide to commit to waist training and want genuine, sturdy corsets, the custom route with trusted makers like Desert Orchid is a good option. You can find more detailed advice and other details in this fairly large archived discussion thread.
