this thread has been so interesting. i've never had a real corset ..the kind you can adjust with cord ..just a waist cincher from squeam which i do like. that is, it's snug but can't get any tighter which sucketh but which hath not yet casteth me in despair to the depth of my soul. yeah, that last little part was unnecessary. i wasn't really thinking about the tightening thing when i bought it a few years ago. oh well, now i know. squeam got a little bad press earlier in the thread but i have to say mine has held up pretty well. this is the one i got http://www.classicshapewear.com/squeem-p...-2337.html next one i get will be a corded one i can tie.
after reading through everyone's posts and a few allusions made to ribcage and muscle toning, it reminded me of someone's post i bookmarked a few years ago cuz i found it an interesting one and i thought it might be of interest to someone who might be reading here. basically, the post kinda indirecctly suggests that over time our ribcage can over-expand because the various muscle groups that support the ribcage can get weak. she says she has a large ribcage and talks about how she strengthens these muscles to reduce, somewhat. i started doing these, too, and my underbust size decreased nearly 1.5 inches and that was before i ever bought the squeem. consequently, my waist reduced too, if just a bit. if you scroll halfway down the page, it's post #54 by amandagg. http://caloriecount.about.com/forums/wei...one/page/2 it may be a little out in left field but thought it might be of interest, nonetheless, cuz it's all part of the anatomical package. anyway, i've been reading quite a bit, here. i got lost once and it took me two days to find where it was i had been reading. seriously, there's so much here.
there's something else i wanted to mention cuz this thread made me want to mention it and that is something i was inspired to do after watching a video. i'd really have to look hard to find the video again, but basically, the lady was talking about sliming the waist and was showing pictures of girls who had been doing a lot of heavy abdominal work. anyway, she was saying a little bit of that was good but not too much cuz it builds muscle and then your waist starts to look a bit more beefy which sort of defeats the purpose to reduce the waist, sooo, she demonstrated what she did to accomplish a smaller and tighter waist. it was like a blend of yoga and slow motion snake dancing or tai chi or whatever but her movements were very fluid and continuous. it looked like yoga but it's also like a hallucinogenic slow motion gymnastic dance where you're moving from one position to the next and back and all the while one muscle group gives way to the next and then releases as the next position tenses another group and so on but your movements are nice and even and somewhat slow and mostly movements that worked the torso and waist. uummm, if i find it, i'll post. hope everyone finds a little love at thanksgiving.
