So you want to continue wearing your corset, but aren’t quite sure how or where to begin (again). Maybe it’s because it’s been so long since you even looked in your corset’s direction. Maybe you’re on the fence about continuing your corset training because you don’t know if it’s even right for you.

No worries, I’ve got you! Let’s start by asking ‘Why?’

1. Why do you want to start wearing your corset (again)?

Perhaps you saw one of my posts and remembered you, too, have a corset (although you may or may not be too sure where it is, or when the last time was that you put it on). Maybe you’ve been eating too darn much and looking at yourself in the mirror doesn’t give you butterflies anymore (yes, looking at yourself in the mirror should make you excited – you should love your body and always aspire to make it better). Instead, when you look at yourself in the mirror you get a dreadful feeling come over you, because your waist has expanded from not keeping up with your mandatory maintenance of waist training.

Have you decided you want to start wearing your corset again because you don’t want to wait for the new year to start your goals, and you are, in fact, ready and willing to start goal-setting now? Do you just want a snatched waist for the aesthetics and sexiness of it all? None of those answers are right or wrong. It’s up to you as to why you want to start wearing your corset. But in order to move forward, you MUST figure out WHY you want to start wearing your corset again.

2. Take into account WHY you STOPPED wearing your corset.

In March of this year, I stopped wearing my corset because it just didn’t fit with my lifestyle. I was getting up super early and taking online classes all day, and then at night I’d have a huge headache from stress, forgetting to eat, and lack of exercise. Wearing my corset was the last thing on my mind. Yes, I did feel a bit guilty for not wearing it (guilty because I know how amazing my body reacts to corset training, and so NOT wearing it is a form of body harm LOL JK). I could have easily put it on during the day as I was home all day for my classes. But I chose not to, because it was one less thing I had to think about in the early morning.

Did you stop wearing your corset for the same reason? Maybe you got injured, or maybe you don’t even remember why you stopped wearing it. You just woke up one morning and didn’t think about your corset and the rest was history. Don’t beat yourself up because you stopped wearing your corset, just acknowledge why you stopped in the first place, if you can.

3. Now try to recall what made you consider, or even think about, putting it back on.

Did you see a post or piece of content that made you remember you had a corset waiting for you to put it on? Or maybe it was at the back of your closet when you finally got to cleaning it out? You don’t want your money to go to waste, you want it to go to WAIST! In any case, think about what made you decide to start corset training again. The reason you’ve decided to put it back on may come into effect when it’s time to tie those laces.

For example, if the only reason you want to start wearing your corset again is because it’s trendy to wear corsets, or you’re looking for a quick fix, corsets may not be right for you and leaving it on the floor at the back of your closet would be best. Just saying! But if you’ve decided enough is enough, and you want to shed that holiday weight, and/or go back to your snatched waist before you stopped wearing it –or whatever the reason is– then let’s take the next step.

4. Do you need a new corset, or will your current corset fit?

First things first, I’d recommend “prepping” your body before getting back into corset training, especially if you haven’t worn one in a reaaallllyyy long time. Basically you’re waist training but without a corset. I like to use sweat bands just to get back into wearing something around my waist. This is not mandatory and you can 100% skip this step.

Now you will need to see if your current corset still fits (hopefully it does!). If it is the right size and you can still train in it, you’re in luck! If it no longer fits, unfortunately you’ll need to measure for another corset. Just a quick reminder, to find your corset size measure your natural waist, and then subtract 4-6 inches. For example, if your natural waist is 31″, go for a corset that is 28″ or 26″. If your natural waist is 26″, aim for a 22″ or 20″ corset. There are other measurements to consider, but I’ll leave that to the video linked above.

5. What does your lifestyle look like?

Think about your current and future lifestyle. Are you an early bird or night owl? Do you go to school and/or work? Have kids? Pets that need walking? Do you go to the gym? Do you do intermittent fasting? Snack throughout the day? Seriously contemplate and maybe even write down what you do all day and at what times you do them. This will help determine when you will want to wear your corset.

For example, my lifestyle looks something like this: I go to bed around midnight, sleep 8-10 hours, and get up between 8am and 10am. I’ll have my coffee or tea, maybe do some light housekeeping, and then I’ll go to the gym around 11am. I come home, shower, eat, maybe I have some errands to run, content to create, or more housekeeping. The bulk of my day is between 3pm to 11pm. And then it’s back to bed for me at midnight. I do a variation of intermittent fasting some days, and other days I snack throughout the day. During the weekend I relax with family, go to the movies, and out to dinner.

Maybe yours looks something like: wake up, go to school for half the day, go to work for the other half of the day, come home, relax, go to bed.

Or maybe you wake up, take the kids to school, go to work all day, pick the kids up, come home, make dinner, get the kids ready for bed, unwind, go to bed.

Everyone’s lifestyle is different. That’s the beauty of life.

The purpose of contemplating your lifestyle is to figure out when you’d be willing to wear your corset. So feel free to write down your day to day tasks to get a better perspective. Writing it down will also make it easier for when you’re ready to create your corset training schedule.

6. Set a corset training schedule.

Now that you’ve pinpointed what your lifestyle looks like, let’s make a schedule. Your corset training schedule will look very different from the next person’s, just make sure your schedule is specific. If you have a demanding job running around all day and then school at night, maybe wearing your corset to bed would be best. Trust me, it’s not as bad as it sounds! Or perhaps you work from home, but then when the kids come home it’s all hands on deck. That said, wearing your corset during the day time and taking it off during the evening could work better.

I wear my “nighttime” corset to bed for 8-10 hours (depending on how much sleep I need), then I’ll take it off when I wake up. After I’ve done I’ll I needed to do in the late morning/early afternoon, I will put on my “daytime” corset between the hours of 3pm – 11pm. At midnight, I switch back into my “nighttime” corset and repeat the cycle. Just remember that every day won’t be the same. Some days I won’t put my daytime corset on until 6pm. And then there are nights when I have a headache and I do not wear my corset to bed. (Side note: you do not need 2 corsets to train. At the moment, my nighttime corset is a 24″ and my daytime corset is a 22″.)

Figure out what your corset training schedule could look like, and write down when you would be willing to wear it. Make your corset training schedule as detailed as possible, and include days and times. This is very important because you need to know how long you’d be willing to wear your corset in a 24 hour period. Your schedule could look something like any of the following, or completely different than any of these examples:

– Monday to Friday, 5 hours daily for 1 month, and then 2 months, and then 3 months, etc;

– Make putting on your corset a part of your night-time routine and sleep in it for 6-8 hours for 1 week (if you need to take it off during the night, that’s okay, but before you do, try loosening it up first, so you can still work towards your corset training goal). after that 1 week, aim for 2 weeks, then 3, and so on;

– You put your corset on in the morning (8am) until you go to the gym around 11am, then you come home and put it back on at 2pm, and you wear it until dinner time (6pm) and you keep this schedule for 3 months (7 hours total per day).

– Monday to Friday wear it 10 hours in the day, & every night to sleep (8 hrs). don’t wear it on weekends.

– 7 days a week wear your corset for 10 hours during the day, not at night

– Monday to Friday wear your corset to bed for 6 hours; on weekends wear it 5 hours during the day, not at night

It doesn’t matter what your schedule looks like, as long as you have a specific schedule and you stick to it. Your schedule will (hopefully) keep you accountable, and you can even reward yourself if you reach your goal of wearing your corset and sticking to your schedule. Buy yourself something nice like a facial or massage (NOT FOOD) or take yourself somewhere you’ve been wanting to go (Disneyland, NYC, etc).

Be sure to write down your corset training schedule and put it somewhere you look all the time: bathroom mirror, on top of your coffee pods, phone background, or somewhere in your closet. Keep yourself accountable by writing down three things: 1. your “Why” or why you want to wear your corset (holiday/vacation, new clothes, weight loss, etc), 2. your specific corset training schedule, and 3. your reward! 😉
