(re)STARTING MY CORSET JOURNEY
Hello friends! Happy new year!!
A little back story. I bought my first corset my junior year of high school. I became OBSESSED with waist training and getting as small as I could. I started with a 26 inch corset and slowly made my way down to closing an 18 inch. I kept this up until around 2023 then I got pregnant and obviously I wasn’t going to wear a corset while pregnant.
I had my baby March 2024 & ended up having to get a cesarean section. The healing process was absolutely horrible. I felt like my insides were going to fall out at any time. I couldn’t walk more than a few feet. And I cried the first time I had to walk up stairs. Fast forward a few months to around June 2024 I finally had the courage to try on one of my old corsets…. LOL let’s just say it did NOT fit.
I thought I’d start slow because I was still healing my insides. So I purchased a waist trainer from Elegant figure in a size Medium. When I fit that comfortably I went to a size small then worked back down to XS…
I can finally almost close my 24 inch corset from Timeless Trends…. I’ll be posting more about my journey as I start wearing them more frequently! So follow along if you would like updates 💖💖💖

Corset training can be a transformative journey, especially after significant life changes like pregnancy. Many women turn to waist training to regain confidence and shape after childbirth. It's important to approach waist training gradually and listen to your body. Begin with sizes that feel comfortable; transitioning from a medium to small, and then to extra small, can help minimize discomfort. Healing can take time, especially following a cesarean section. During recovery, find supportive waist trainers that promote healing and comfort. Quality corsets, such as those from Elegant Figure and Timeless Trends, provide structure while being gentle on post-operative bodies. Remember to maintain realistic expectations—your body has changed, and it's okay to embrace a new shape. Engaging with communities online can offer support and tips from those who have similar experiences. As you document your journey, sharing progress can inspire others aiming for their waist training goals. So, keep an open mind, learn from your experience, and enjoy the process of rediscovering your style and body confidence.
I haven’t used a waist trained since 2012 but this post makes me want to get back on it especially because it helps with my scoliosis pain
