Corset Waist Training Lifestyle: My Story and Why I Still Do It

Why I Wear Corsets

There’s something deeply comforting about the sound of laces buzzing behind me as I tighten my corset for the day. For me, the corset waist training lifestyle has become much more than working toward and maintaining my goal waist size. It’s a beauty hobby that I’ve woven into my routines, body awareness, and everyday life.

This isn’t just a corset waist training lifestyle blog. It’s a place where I share what I’ve learned and experienced through more than a decade of wearing corsets.

Looking for a Way to Keep My Curves

My search for a way to keep my curves started in late 2012 and early 2013. It was just after a conversation I had with my gym buddies about spot reduction. At the time, I was deep in my weight training era and focused primarily on weight loss. As I started losing weight, I worried that I would lose the curves I loved.

I grew up as an overweight child and entered womanhood with a naturally curvy figure. This led me to become very aware of my body at an extremely young age. So during my weight loss journey, I struggled with the idea of losing my curves.

Around the same time, I was becoming interested in manifestation and affirmations. When I learned that spot reduction wasn’t possible, my brain immediately went: Okay, but what if there is a way?

Discovering the Corset Waist Training Lifestyle

I searched for anything that supported the idea of changing my waist while maintaining the rest of my curves. That’s when I found Breast Nexus. This forum had discussions about corset training, waist training, and other forms of body modification.

I became completely fascinated.

During my corset research, I discovered Lucy Corsetry’s YouTube channel, then known as BishonenRancher. I watched her videos repeatedly, took notes, asked questions, and spent months learning everything I could about corseting.

The more I learned, the more I was eager to try it. Finally, I made the decision to start corset waist training, as well as other forms of body modification.

In March 2013, I bought my first corset. I started experimenting with waist training, and continued my weight training at the gym. And the rest is history…

My relationship with corseting has had plenty of ups and downs over the years. This includes periods of weight loss, weight gain, and plenty of trial and error. My fascination with corsets—and my desire to keep learning about my body–has never really gone away.
