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!
Yes Mommy! And socks? What are THOSE?! I almost never wear socks and rarely wear hose... just too much hassle imo.
Oh. And I've looked into what cord TT uses a bit more, and it seems it could be one of either cotton or poly. Heavy duty versions of these fabrics, but neither fabric is nearly as durable as some solid nylon. So yeah... I'll be ordering a pair of nylon cords. Thanks for the heads up.

Lies! I'm getting two!
And how dare you not take your corset with you?!
