What is a Training Corset?
A training corset is a piece of clothing designed to be worn tightly around the middle part of your body. It's made from strong fabric and has stiff supports, often called "bones," that help shape it. Unlike regular clothing, a training corset is meant to be worn over time to create a lasting change.
Why Do People Use Them?
People use training corsets for different reasons:
- For Health: Sometimes, doctors might suggest a special corset to help with problems like a curved spine. These corsets help support the back and encourage it to grow straighter. They are like a brace that helps your body.
- For Appearance: Many people use training corsets to make their waist look smaller. This is known as "waist training." By wearing the corset regularly, it can gradually change the shape of the body, making the waist narrower. It's a way some people choose to change their look.
