Tight lacing?

Has anyone here tried tight lacing to get a more feminine look to your body? I've been seeing a couple things on it and I'm very curious to try it! I love the hourglass shape it gives you!

Read up on it and use common sense.

I use a bodice that laces in my Renaissance Faire outfit. My 40 waist down to a 34. But it takes about 30 minutes to slowly get there. Plus the corset bodice is lambskin so it conforms to my body. I have been doing this for several years - and staying in costume for as much as 8 hours at a time, and have had no bad experiences. Now cinching down more than that might cause harm. Essentially you are rearranging your internal organs and not so much moving fatty deposits around. It's harder to eat but the breathing is not a big problem.

So be careful. You may want to start with something not too expensive. My bodice piece cost me $160.

Back to the subject. the following site is a good start. I don't agree that the tight lacing gives a permanent body shape change. Also - I would never try more than a 6" reduction if you are full figured (less if you are smaller). Read this carefully - and understand this is just a source, not a recommendation on beginning tight lacing.

Lizzy, You are too cute and just a little hot as well. That seems like so much fun, and if anybody gets too fresh i see the sword is on the ready. Would love to join you sometime although i'm not sure i'd want to go to the extremes they mention in your link.

Hugs very tight around the waist,

Charlie

I apologize - I posted those photographs to show that tight lacing used . It was a 6" reduction in circumference. It was reasonably comfortable but I was glad at the end of the day to take it off.

And I agree - thank you for the compliments but it would be best to stay with the thread!

The owner of Romantasy.Com* in Northern CA is a frequent presenter at Transgender Conferences (Southern Comfort, Be All and others) whom I have met. She usually presents on both the tight lacing and gives a couple of sessions on feminine manners for TG's.

I have tried a couple of corsets on, but I have a spinal lordosis and the things dont fit me right.

*I'd get into trouble with the T&C if I posted that as a direct link because it shows the corsets as underwear.

From what I've read, it's something you have to seriously commit to. The girls I've seen who do tight lacing have altered their diet and pretty much wear some kind of corset or belt 12 hours a day. It's not something you just start doing but it's something you work up to doing.

I understand and its something I'm willing to be committed to, I want a feminine look to my body, not all boxy and stuff.

      Hmm. Must have been that pesky 'International' word which made me assume that it was well known! I only became aware of it myself last year.   Brief history: May 17th is the day IDAHOBIT is acknowledged as it is the anniversary of when in 1990 the World Health Organization declassified homosexuality as a mental disorder. It was conceived in 2004 and first celebrated in 2005. It has gone on to include trans folk in 2009 and bi folk in 2015.   International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia - Wikipedia

      A year and a half post op. I've noticed that once the urge to pee hits, I can only hold it for about 15 minutes or so until it gets to the point where I feel like I'm going to piss myself. I used to be able to hold it a lot longer (as I  remember it).  I know my urethra is a bit shorter now, but I don't think it is enough to account for this. Am I imagining it?

      What a great moment @Vidanjali! It's always so cool knowing people are reading you in a way you want to be seen.

      It's also networking.  Sometimes jobs come along because someone knows someone else - these older people might know someone.  "Hey, Ashley," someone might say,"My nephew is looking for love. He likes tall women. Whatcha think? Can he call you?"   Don't discount their ability to match make.  It is about networking.

      He is simply doing to get more votes. He held a Trump for trans during his first run and found out the majority of his voters were against us so he simply followed the crowd.

      The sad part is I'm the third oldest member. One is in their 60's and the other is past 70's. I'm even older than the president lol. It's a younger crowd that's for sure. I like to come here to feel young again lol.

      Ashley, I think searching for relationships are a lot like searching for jobs, they tend to come along when you aren't actually looking.  Perhaps you could step back from actively searching, at least for a little while, and instead, concentrate on just being out and about as yourself.  Like Mae and Abby have already mentioned, just keep up your volunteering, but don't focus on a need to find someone.  Maybe, just maybe, changing your tactics will result in someone finding you.    I do wish only the best for you, and I hope someone comes along who connects with you.

      First off, you can't regret being honest. You may not be changing the relationship, but it sounds like it still exists!   As for meeting people, what about through the volunteering you're doing? Maybe you can do more of that and meet people. Let some relationships grow and if they blossom into something more than friendship, great! If not, you've got more friends!

      Hi Giz, welcome. There's so many different ways to be trans and you're so welcome here. I wish you luck in achieving your goal of being more androgynous. There's forums in here that might suit you and your goals. I look forward to hearing more from you. I go by he/they pronouns at the mo.

      Hello @JenniferB!  Was kind of in the same boat with this.  I spent massive amounts of energy over several decades to try to control my drinking and drug use.  Because I'm highly disciplined, I was ultimately successful.  I felt I could have gone on with controlled drinking for the rest of my life without problems, but it got to the point where I realized that it wasn't worth all the energy I was putting into it.  At that point I found surrender.  I got a sponsor, attended almost daily meetings for a year, worked the steps to the best of my ability, tried my best to socialize with people even though I am an introvert, I made a mess for myself at the meetings and felt a little rejected.  And then I continued on doing a little service work.   After a few months away from it, I'm in a good spot.  I accidentally ate one of my roommates edibles a couple months ago.  I have only smoked a half ounce of weed in the last 20 years.  After it kicked in, I realized that it was a marijuana high.  Then I noticed something miraculous.  I just told myself that there is nothing I can do about it and then got on with the business of the evening like I normally would.  It was like the high just ended right then and there.   Controlled drinking like I was doing was just very risky behavior and not worth the effort for me.  In any case, I'm very happy that I spent my life fighting it all instead of just giving into it.  I think that whatever you put into something, you eventually get back out.   Meetings are cool.  People generally get equal time to share.  Seeing people who are struggling reminds me of the way I was and why I want to remain sober.  And by being there, I have the potential of helping someone else.  The stuff I don't identify with I just do my best to not let bother me.  And if it gets bad there, I don't have to go back.  I can find another meeting or even just read the literature.  The literature helped me a lot.

      Happiness to me is when I reached a turning point in my life, that I stop worrying what others think about me, and start living my life.
