How to Have a Small Waist

While not widely in use in today's modern world there is a small contingent of corset wearers who successfully minimize the waist, sometimes to unusual proportions. Done properly, modifying the waist with a corset can give the slimmer waist many women seek when all other methods have failed. Knowing how to use a corset properly can get you results without causing injury.

Instructions

Difficulty: Challenging

1. Consider the body type required to get the most out of a corset. Wide hips with a plentiful space along the midriff and ribcage allow the soft tissue displaced by a corset to move freely and create a longer, wasp like silhouette.
2. Commit to the time and patience required to modify the body using a corset. Impatience by over tightening can cause damage. Getting a small waist takes time, set aside daily and considerable vigilance to see the benefits.
3. Contact an experienced and strong tight lacer who is capable of binding the corset while knowing when to stop. Schedule daily time to mold your body without distractions, under the guidance of fellow tight lacers.
4. Join a local corset group that can offer encouragement, wisdom and experience. The great commitment to extreme corset use requires the support of others and helps beginners get through the difficult first few months.
5. Select a corset based on your body type and the goals you have set. Tight lacing requires several corsets and as the waist gets smaller, new corsets are required. Custom corsets are available from manufactures but most clubs have a local tailor they prefer to use.
