Corset

A corset is a form-fitting undergarment designed to shape and support the torso, typically worn by women. Traditionally used to create an hourglass figure by cinching the waist and accentuating the bust and hips, corsets have evolved from everyday wear to specialized garments often associated with fashion, costume, and sexual appeal.

Additional Information

Modern corsets come in various styles, materials, and levels of restriction. While historical corsets were often made with whalebone or steel boning, contemporary versions may use flexible plastic or no boning at all. Corsets can be worn as outerwear, lingerie, or for body modification practices like waist training. In sexual contexts, corsets are often fetishized for their ability to dramatically alter body shape and for the sensory experience of restriction they provide.

It's important to note that extreme or prolonged corset use can have health implications, including restricted breathing and potential changes to internal organ positioning. Safe and comfortable use involves proper fitting and gradual tightening over time.
