Hi! I'm JJ, a young woman from New York who's interested in tightlacing. If you don't know what that is, it's the practice of wearing a corset to reduce one's waist. It can be done safely if you take your time and wear only the highest quality of corset over a long period of time. But of course those corsets are not cheap. Right? Well, I aim to find out. All over the Internet you can find beautiful custom made corsets for a range of $150-$1000, depending on how fancy you want it. Indeed I have ordered one, but it will take a minimum of 8-10 weeks for delivery. But I'm too excited to wait for it, I want to start training my waist to be tiny now! XD
So what's a girl to do? Ebay. Any experienced corset wearer will tell you that there is tons of plastic garbage masquerading as a good corset on Ebay, but some sellers claim they have 'genuine steel boned' corsets that are 'suitable for tightlacing.' And for less than $100! Some even cheaper than you can imagine. I decided to purchase a wide variety of them to compare. Over the next few weeks I'll be posting videos, photos & commentary on the quality of these bargains, so anyone else looking to tightlace on a budget will know which sellers to avoid. There are a lot of cool people on the various tightlacing & corset forums, but no one could tell me anything about finding a good corset for cheap besides 'it's hard'. I'll go a bit deeper, and hopefully my answer will be 'it's doable!'
I'll be posting every Monday. See you in a week!
