New to Corsets


Guest Miria

Recommended Posts

I just started wearing my first corset today (have been wearing it a few hours now...tempted to take it off before going to bed after reading that it's recommended to take it slow at first).

If there are any suggestions or tips that I or someone else who may read this can use, please let us know!

I'd also like to know...I'm going to be wearing it in public for my job, and it would be risky since I'm not yet openly my desired gender - so what kind of clothing (hopefully not super baggy either) would help hide the corset? I've been wearing it under a t-shirt so far tonight and my father hasn't noticed, but I've also been careful to not make it obvious it's there. It won't be that easy for work however.

Again, any tips would be greatly appreciated.

So far, loving the feeling of the corset! Definitely going to be something I stick to for a very long time.

I am not a corset wearing girl but i might suggest that you dress as you would normally. If anyone comments just say it is a back brace. (hopefully not to frilly)

Hugs,

I'm terribly pedantic about corsets. Is it a CORSET-corset or a bustier? A bustier is fairly easy to hide since the closure is hook-and-eyes and isn't so heavily boned, and therefore more subtle and easy to hide under a normal mens tshirt.

A corset would call for a shirt in a heavier and probably woven fabric (like a button up, probably) since it's more heavily structured and the closure and laces stick out far more.

I believe BishounenRancher on YouTube has a guide on hiding corsets (and by extension, shapewear in general) under clothing.

I want to get me a corset :) I have seen some really nice corset tops on eBay, A nice Corset top will go good with jeans or a jean skirt..

Guess I should stay around when I post something :P. Uhm, the corset I started with I can almost fully close already (can't remember if that's normal - saw something about it before). It's a simple steel boned under bust for waist training. Unfortunately, it's terrible to wear to work (I'm in and out of a vehicle for 4+ hours a day). I'm really hoping for a desk job soon so I can negate worry about it digging into my hips/ribs. Other than the little bit of pain, for the most part I love the feeling, and wearing it to bed and at home has already gotten rid of what muffin top I did have (one of my weight loss goals! Woohoo!).

I do know from what some others have told me that when you start wearing a corset, it's the kind of thing that you have to keep yourself doing or you won't get anywhere with it (could all be a matter of opinion). I was only hoping to work slightly toward a more feminine shape while waiting to get my hormone prescription. That was my goal with corsets.

Anyway, thanks for the suggestions! I ended up passing it off as a back brace if anyone noticed or pointed out they were seeing something strange about my shirt.

Maybe I'll have another topic to talk about soon... :P

I have been wearing a corset a few years. (It does seem to be addictive.) En femme I like to show off my shape, when not I untuck my shirt or wear a baggy sweatshirt or sweater and hide my shapeliness. Those who have known me through the change have not commented upon it.

Enjoy,

:wub:Love, Raz

      Incredible news for transgender and abortion providers and patients in Maine. Despite violent threats, Gov. Janet Mills of Maine has signed a sanctuary bill into law. It even enshrines WPATH Standards of Care as protected by Maine.   https://twitter.com/ErinInTheMorn/status/1782894991368462520/photo/1

      Basically my only source of validation is from close friends who know I'm trans 😅   I'm not a very masculine-looking guy in general, and I've had to stop binding due to pain, so strangers and physical validation aren't things I can get. My family still uses she/her pronouns and female terms with me, so there's not much validation at home, either.   I'm grateful I have friends that are willing to use my pronouns and such, though. It makes me feel a lot better.

      This is a question I ask myself all the time. When I'm out I hope that I can some what pass

      I use my  chosen name online and when ever I can. I play some online game and only go by that name. That is how everyone there know me. Yes it does feel great to be called the name you prefer.

      I was ten years old when my mom walked in on me frolicking around my room dressed up in her bra, panties, and some pantyhose. I had been doing this in the privacy of my bedroom for a little while now so I had my own little stash box I kept full of different panties, bras, etc ... of hers. My mom's underwear was so easy for me to come by and she was a very attractive woman, classy, elegant. Well when she walked in on me, she looked at me with disgust and said to me... "If I wanted to run around like mommy's little girl instead of mommy's little boy, then she was going to treat me like mommy's little girl."  She left my bedroom after telling me NOT to change or get dressed or anything and returned with a few of her work skirts and blouses and such. She made me model off her outfits for her and I have to admit ... I LOVED EVERY SECOND OF IT. I felt so sexy, and feminine. And she knew I loved it.  She told me we can do this every weekend if I'd like. It would be OUR little secret.

      The usual social ways, of course.  Taking care of my partners and stepkids, being involved in my community.  That makes me feel good about my role.   As for physical validation and gender... probably the most euphoric experience is sex.  I grew up with my mother telling me that my flat and boyish body was strange, that my intersex anatomy was shameful, that no man would want me. So experiencing what I was told I could never have is physical proof that I'm actually worth something.

      <Moderator hat on>  I think that, at this point we need to get the thread back onto the topic, which is the judge's ruling on the ballot proposition.  If there is more to be said on the general principles of gendered spaces etc., please discuss them, carefully and respectfully, in separate threads. <Moderator hat off>

      People who have no understanding of transgender conditions should not be making policy for people dealing with it. Since it is such a small percentage of the population, and each individual is unique, and their circumstances are also unique, each situation needs to be worked with individually to see that the best possible solution is implemented for those involved. 
    • Abigail Genevieve
      No.  You are getting stuck on one statement and pulling it out of context.   Trans kids have rights, but so do non-trans kids.  That conflict is best worked out in the individual situation. 
    • MaeBe
      I get the concept, I believe. You're trying to state that trans kids need to or should be excluded from binary gender spaces and that you acknowledge that answers to accommodate those kids may not be found through policy. I disagree with the capability of "penetration" as being the operative delimiter in the statement, however. I contest this statement is poorly chosen at best and smacks of prejudice at worst. That it perpetuates certain stereotypes, whether that was the intent or not.   Frankly, all kids should have the right to privacy in locker rooms, regardless of gender, sexuality, or anatomy. They should also have access to exercise and activities that other kids do and allow them to socialize in those activities. The more kids are othered, extracted, or barred from the typical school day the more isolated and stigmatized they become. That's not healthy for anyone, the excluded for obvious reasons and the included for others--namely they get to be the "haves" and all that entails.

      Context.  Read the context.  Good grief.
    • MaeBe
      Please don't expect people to read manifold pages of fiction to understand a post.   There was a pointed statement made, and I responded to it. The statement used the term penetration, not "dissimilar anatomy causing social discomfiture", or some other reason. It was extended as a "rule" across very different social situations as well, locker and girl's bedrooms. How that term is used in most situations is to infer sexual contact, so most readers would read that and think the statement is that we "need to keep trans girl's penises out of cis girls", which reads very closely to the idea that trans people are often portrayed as sexual predators.   I understand we can't always get all of our thoughts onto the page, but this doesn't read like an under-cooked idea or a lingual short cut.

      I shopped online in the beginning of transition. I had great success with SHEIN and Torrid!
