Make Your Waist Sexy With Corsets

By Salvador Paez

Women can get a lot from wearing corsets. Some of the advantages include a tiny waist, flat stomach, reduced back-pain, and perfectly upright posture. These are just a few of the many advantages hat corsets mean. There are many kinds of corsets, designed for both aesthetic and medical purposes.

Women wear corsets to create or emphasize a curvy figure by reducing the waist, which emphasizes the bust and hip areas. Corsets were also worn in the past to minimize the bust and hips and achieve the tubular torso shape. Men also wear corsets to slim down their figure, a practice slowly growing in popularity again. A smaller waist in contrast to a larger chest benefits men just as well.

Some corsets can extend over the hips, and in some very rare cases, can reach the knees. But a normal corset works by enclosing the torso, usually from the under the arms down to the top of the hips. A waist cincher on the other hand is a shorter type of corset that covers only the waist area, which is from below the ribs to just above the hip area. Other types of corset may also include garters that can hold up stockings

Cloth and leather are popular fabrics used to make corsets. Ribs or stays are placed into them in order to make them stiffer in a process called boning. Ribs are usually made of ivory, wood or cane. Whalebone and steel corsets were very popular during the Victorian period but now steel and plastic do just as well.

Corsets are typically tied at the back using laces, with the tightening and loosening of the corset using these same laces in order to be done. Tying a back-lace corset amy not be easy but it's definitely possible.

Corsets can give you reduced back-pain and improved muscular system; comfort for big bosomed women who do not want to wear brassieres; improved figure even without dieting, slimming drugs, or undergoing any cosmetic surgery; and increased body temperature that is useful for cooler climates. So consider getting one now and feel the difference.

Most tops marketed nowadays as corsets are technically not corsets if compared to the traditional ones. Although modern corset tops have lacing or boning, mimicking traditional corsets, they have very little effect on the shape torso. Genuine corsets should be made by corset-makers so that they would fit properly.
