Woosh, aye aye aye!
Corsets? Especially a drawn tight laced corset , have by and large been discontinued from useage by women. Why, because they couldn't breath right, it hurt their rib cages, effected their heart rhythms, and literally squashed their kidneys, intestines, in their body cavity. Women of olden days hated corsets,but, it was the fashion or standard set by high society male designers. Women also used to have their feet bound as children to achieve tiny little feet that was also fashionable. The results was as an adult female who was unable to walk or stand up without help. It was finally outlawed.
A woman who was pregnant in the early trimester, could harm her fetus by corset wearing. The fashion of wearing an old fashioned lace up corset has pretty much been relegated to the S/M crowds. Women to day wear high-tech body shaping girdles or full body socks. No bone or wooden stays...
Men have a different rib cage than women. If you want to feel your ribs ache, and feel your digestive tract under stress then wear one. You'll also be labored in your breathing, especially if you are over weight. Bending over could cause you to pass out.
Whenever I see one of these things on a female for any reason, I say;" Ohhh, ouchies".. to my self! My suggestion is blunt; Diet, and exercise dear..you can control what you put into your mouth...a corset isn't the answer...
