Corsets are an amazing addition to any girl’s lingerie collection. Not only are they incredibly sexy, but they also have a bunch of other benefits and are especially great for busty babes. Whether you’re petite or plus size, you’re bound to find one to love in our wide collection of corsets and waist trainers.
There are a few myths and mistruths surrounding corsets, so we’re going to quickly dispel some of the unfounded concerns people have about corsets. We’ll then give you the run-down of some of our favorite saucy numbers and reasons why you’ll absolutely fall in love with them.
Corsets restrict your breathing - false
If a corset is restricting your breathing, then you have it on too tight and should remove it immediately. While corsets are designed to give you an hour-glass shape, they’re not meant to hinder you from breathing. To avoid this, you should only ever lace up a corset so it’s firm yet comfortable. Using a mirror or getting the help of a friend is the best way to make sure you’re wearing it properly. It’s also a good idea to adjust after wearing it for a time to ensure the fit is comfortable and you can breathe normally.
Corsets push your organs around - false
Well, kind of false. Yes, a corset does compress your waist, and therefore some of your organs, but so do everyday activities like sitting, leaning and bending (not to mention being pregnant). The human body, and particularly the female body, is designed to let things move around a little, so wearing a corset for short bursts of time is perfectly safe.
Note: While corsets are sexy and safe, they are not recommended for wear during pregnancy.
The boning in a corset weakens your muscles and makes you dependant on it - false
In fact, the complete opposite is true! While a corset does provide you with support, it also encourages you to stand and sit up straight, which can strengthen your back muscles. This may cause some initial discomfort when you begin wearing a corset, but it’s likely because the muscles are getting a bit of a workout. Pain, if any, should be mild and similar to muscle pain you experience after a tough gym session.
Corsets caused people to faint in the Victorian era, so they can’t be good - false
Hollywood movies would have us believe that tightly laced corsets had a role in those swoonings back in Victorian times and that corsets reshaped women’s lungs into a cylindrical shape. But most evidence suggests period-era women wore their corsets at the same kind of firmness as we do today, which - if you’re doing it properly - isn’t that tight, certainly not tight enough to cause fainting!
Corsets, when worn correctly and comfortably are safe and suitable to wear in the streets or the sheets.
Sure corsets can be good for your posture and keeping your core supported, but the true appeal of them lies in the sexy hourglass shape they help to create for all body shapes. So what makes them particularly great for the bustier babe?
Firstly, they flatter your figure, cinching your waist and trimming a few inches while accentuating your curves in all the right places, giving you a strong and sexy look.
And when you’ve got a larger bust, they’re incredibly comfortable. Not only do they help improve your posture, but they also give your bust amazing support, which reduces back pain that can be caused by having larger boobs. Wearing a corset may also remove the need to wear a bra.
Corsets are also a versatile fashion statement for women of all sizes. Style your sexy plus size corset with your favorite jeans for a chic day-to-day look or wear it under some sheer layers to spice up date night. It’s totally up to you.
Having your curves shaped in all the right places thanks to a corset will make you feel amazing and boost your confidence, whether you’re out on the town or in the bedroom.
