Forgot to mention something. When you are tight-lacing, you'll find that you can tighten the corset more as the day goes on. If it becomes truly uncomfortable, however, you've gone too far and there is no way you can keep it on 23/7 (your body will need a break). Best to keep it comfortable but noticeably tight, even when re-tightening.
On the days that I have over-done it I got to the point where I was starting to feel real pain. That actually set me back as I had to take a break for a while. It can also *significantly* raise your blood pressure, even to dangerous levels, if it on so tightly that it is uncomfortable.
The real key is slow but steady! As time goes on it will be more comfortable even as you lace further.
And one more thing. I always put my socks on before my corset. It's DARN HARD to put them on once I'm laced!
