Are the affects of daily tightlacing permanent?
If one is serious about corset training then you will loose some bulk at the waist within the first 6 months of training. This is semi-permanent. If one can comfortably lace down to 25 over the corset, then the natural waist will be about 28″. This will hold for several hours. This is after serious, daily wear of a corset at least 12-14 hours a day. One may also loose muscle mass in the stomach and back, so one may be a bit sore if they are out of the corset for long periods of time. This weakening of muscles takes many years of continued use of a corset to happen. However, this only happens when the corset is worn nearly 23 hours a day, seven days a week. It also is not permanent, and can retain their muscle tone after a few weeks of exercise.
