^ A lot of things made me stop. The corset I bought was cheap and defective (I still have scars on my hips from where one of the bones kept digging into me), the shape made it hard to wear while working, my health hasn't been doing all that well, plus I decided I no longer wanted to feminize.

I got great results (stopping was actually very painful as my ribs shifted back into their natural scoliosis shape), but for some reason I never lost my appetite; if anything, I got even hungrier! I think in the end that helped me though as it helped me feed my growing booty while keeping my stomach nice and tight.

Hey Doll-- Glad to see you're back!

I just wanted to add something here.

If you want to build your ab muscles and you have a bad/weak back, that is unfortunately one of the WORST things you can do for your back. NOT because you removed the corset which functions as a brace and possibly even a crutch in some situations, but because the abdominals are opposing muscles to the back. If you strengthen one set of muscles, the opposing set of muscles will be weaker as they are no longer in balance. Basically, what was already a bad back in your case was made worse by having strong abdominals. If you want to workout your ab muscles, you might want to consider doing some exercises for your back as well. Obviously, you do not have to focus on building the back muscles. Strengthening is all that is necessary in your case.

I hope you will be able to bring your back pain to an end soon!!!

Thanks for your concern, but I definitely work my back every time I work my abs. My ab workouts at the gym actually work my back muscles almost as much as they work the abdominals, and I do seperate back workouts as well that specifically target the back. Because of that, my back has kept the curvy back shape that my corset gave me originally; I no longer hunch over. I've just found that corsetting and building muscle together help the best at keeping my pain to a minimum.


Well, I just bought a 20" corset, waiting for it to come in the mail! Originally $108, got it for $37 including shipping at corset-story.com! They just so happened to have one left, and in ky size, too, so I bought it without hesitation! I forget the types of corset shapes, but this is one of the ones that hugs in at the waist and flares out at the hips. Hopefully that means I won't have to worry about it digging into my hips like the old one. I'll of course update when I get it in case anyone else wants to buy one from them. Fingers crossed this one doesn't break inthe first 3 weeks like my ebay one! Still not sure if I should try to train my ribs, we'll see how wearable it is first.
