i assume you have some medical training to back up this rather... aggressive stance? Practical experience? Research?
One, I've been in the medical field for over ten years now.
Two, I sew corsets. I've also worn them on ocassion.
Three, every documentation on people who practice "corset training" include having to wear there corset for just about every hour of every day to keep the desired figure. For most, this also meant that the trainee had to sleep in there corset. Once off, it was only a matter of time before the trainees body began to reshape itself. Yes, the thirteen inch waist has been possible but Ethel Grangers biography clearly documents the time, discipline, and strict regiem needed for the thirteen inch accomplisment.
For the hope of changing your waist line, Corset Training is not a quick fix. It's a life style that you almost have to live 24/7 or you can forget all about it. Think of it as dieting. The weight will come back if you don't stick to your exercise/diet routine that got you thin in the first place. However, corset training does not offer you cardiovascular not muscular exercise. Instead, it shortens your breathing causing less oxygen to get to your body. Corset training also restricts movement and can decrease blood supply to certain parts of the body. Strong corsets also act as a back support causing your lower back muscles to weaken over time. Think of it as a back brace or weight trainning belt. Wearing one 24/7 may help your back at first but when does your back acturally get exercise and strengthening? If and when worn too long, your back will become dependent upon the corset.
If you don't like what I have to say, you can always research the old threads where other corset makers and wearers talk about what happend during and after wearing a corset.
