exciting ! I've always been curious about accurate corset X-ray scans
I totally see the point in that the intestines have to migrate during pregnancy to make room for a baby and I have a feeling that corsets don't cause harm but, to be intellectually honest, one must also take into account that during pregnancy, hormones make many changes in the body making the bones and other structures more flexible so there is a difference in what's going on with the body and those changes when one is pregnant than when at other times.
iamlight1 pregnancy is also known to be really stressful on the body as well as temporary. I also don't think the colon is pinched but just moved up during pregnancy
Yes, but if your lacing is done slowly over time, in a similar way that pregnancy happens over the course of 9 months, your colon would also likely not be pinched, but would gradually shift out of the way.
Yikes. I have done pretty awful things to my body. I have also studied and taught Pilates since 2000. I wore a mild waist trainer around for a couple of days and basically put myself into a bed rest only pain situation for two months? I had heard that they were good for helping keep your posture good, by constantly reminding you to stay in attention to your movements. No way, ever again....
You are only supposed to wear it for a certain number of hours a day,but some women over do it and wear it all day for faster result.
That's a long time to get dressed. :D LOL Plus, pregnancy can wreak havoc on your digestive system. I'd never use it as an example of how easily the body accommodates this or that.
Lucy's excitement excites me. So contagious!
Aw, thank you Malikah! :D
I think it's a pity that they didn't take the time to lace down slowly, this way the test is not really representative.
I once read a book by a doctor, and of course he was against corsets, but he had to come to the conclusion that in his experience healthy women had no adverse effects from corsets, I think the book was about a hundred years old, it was on a wiki page, but I can't find it :(
Oh, is that "Le Corset" by Dr. O'Followell? I read some of it, but not all - it's rather slow-going as my French is a bit rusty these days.
Here's the link though! fr.wikisource.org/wiki/Le_Corset
They are also using a woman that is accustomed to wearing corsets. Let's see the MRI of a typical woman, and see what we get.
@@holleysdotcom But the point is that its seeing women who habitually wear corsets. Why look at a woman who doesn't or only wears one at odd times?
@@myladyswardrobe I just think it's very important to let young girls, who might be thinking about starting to wear a corset, know that these are not typical results. In today's age of instant gratification, there is a risk for young people to rush into things without doing proper research, or without really taking the time (such as the nine months a baby takes to push your organs out of the way) to learn to use the corset properly. On a personal level, I think girls also have too much self worth centered on their looks. They shouldn't have to change their bodies to feel accepted. :)
@@holleysdotcom indeed.
and on breathing, breathing is a function, not a condition, so to see how good one breathes, one does functional tests, if need more, blood tests. mr lets one see the organ at one mainly, or more if its capable point in time. a veeeery good tool. indispdnsible sometimes. but have you seen athletes going in mr for breathing?!?! tests, or you remember other equipment like masks and such put on them while walking, or running etc to calculate breathing Function.
I have just started corset training and a month in and I've lost five inches thanks to you xxxx
Is it that fast?
@@7h268 It depends on body type, for example, if your body is a little more squishy you can cinch down much quicker and lose inches much faster, but if your body is more muscular and stiff it can take much longer for you to make this type of progress. At the end of the day as long as you choose the right corset, season into it properly, and are consistent you should see results
So glad you pointed out that organ shiftimg occurs during pregnancy as well. I think persuading women not to wear bc of organ shifting is just a way to hate. We still got it lol... its been a year now i need a smaller size... excited
Are u fucking kidding me how does being genuinely concerned for someone’s bodily organs safety a way to hate????!!!!
@@flowerbloomed1302 Because people like to hate on women for wearing corsets. Those people aren't even concerned for their health, but point out that it's bad for them as a way to say they/we are vain.
But apparently organ shifting is okay as long as it's because of pregnancy.🤦♀️
I had a c section and I can say they move your organs around by hand so I mean a corset rlly can’t hurt u as much as a human can !
@@clawwestfall8799 Um, yeah...the temporary natural method of organ shifting is ok. Shifting your organs manually and unnaturally to "appear" like you lost weight without actually providing any sort of health benefits just really sounds like a bad idea, but go for it.
@@amberl.8245 corsets arent to give the appearance of losing weight, and organ shifting is very natural, it happens during pregnancy and every day movements
Hi Lucy, thank you for this video. I wore a medical back brace for severe scoliosis throughout high school and I think you're right: there needs to be more research on how it affects different parts/systems of the body. However, corsets are less rigid than braces and I spent a lot of time being x rayed, so perhaps we just don't know what orthopedic surgeons know.
I was so ready to slam my hand and say "ITS NOT THAT GOOD FOR YOU! SEE!!!" And boy am I wrong ._.
As you said there are problems, but you presented your information, presented facts and proved me wrong ._.
I can't stop watching your videos! I've learned more about tightlacing and waist training in a few hours of browsing your youtube channel, than I have over the past few weeks of googling the topic! You're so articulate and clearly really knowledgable and passionate about corsets. You've inspired me to finally take the plunge - I just ordered my first waist training corset - a black cotton CS-411 by Orchard Corsets. I've saved a few of your videos so I'll be all prepared for lacing and seasoning when it arrives! Thankyou!
Thank you Jade, I'm so glad that you've found my videos useful! ^_^
+andrea your comment settings are not allowing me to reply to your comment. Some of my friends started out asymmetric and the corset helped restore symmetry - but it depends on the cause of your asymmetry - for instance, it could be muscular, or it could be skeletal. If it's skeletal, it could be mild scoliosis, or it could be a twisted pelvis, or it could have been the result of one side of your ribcage not being the same as the other side from a past injury, for example. The corset can help with muscular asymmetry and even scoliosis in some situations, but for a rotated ribcage, not so much. I have another video on corsets and asymmetry here:
ruclips.net/video/KMYPD1lmpdo/видео.html
Lucy's Corsetry how can I order a corset
Lucy's Corsetry i have a mild scoliosis. Can i use corset for symmetry?
Hi Lucy, thank you so much for sharing this! And I'm happy that this Show is not lost in the digital space. I really enjoyed watching you and the show afterwords.
Thank you... for explaining that a lot of people here on bad thing and run with it... you pointed out some really good points like gradually cutting down the size and her colon still worked. Also corsets have been used for 100 of years if you look at old Italians women in high statue were required to were corsets or even in old England and other countries for decades corsets have been worn. by women then once they were married off and started having kids they were still fine.
When I wear a corset my fat goes out at my hips and it looks weird lol
storm le cat my fat goes to my shoulders and upper chest. I look like a man 😐
Storm you need a longer corset
Jaqueline Martinez you tightening too soon have you seasoned ?
.-. Don’t wear it
Joshua Knowles I wish I could snap my fingers and not be fat
Wow this is very interesting, especially how you mentioned that the organs can move so much during pregnancy!
keep in mind that pregnancy is a natural nine month process. The organs will and do move, but they move gradually.
Corlena James1 If you use a corset as you're supposed to, they will move gradually.
Getting dressed over a 9 month period seems a bit time consuming to me. :)
Thank you for taking the time to make such a concise and informative video. Your work is extremely valuable! X
Thank you Min!
Thanks for the video!! I love corsets❤️!! I wear one every day, I have an umbilical hernia and refuse to do the mesh surgery(or ATM any surgery) and the dr said I could manage it as long as it (the intestine) doesn't collate(?get stuck out so you can't retract it) at that point it's immediate surgery.. she was surprised when I asked about waist clinchers and corsets, and said to cinch slowly... I did.. underbust corsets make my boobs big (man boobs at 150lbs..?) which I don't mind and usually actually like😉... overbust ones give me a more real looking chest for a guy, either way my bowel movements are much better,guessing it was a posture thing, my belly button stays in longer after wearing a corset and my back is forced to stay straight,a big help as I'm in construction type work and I homestead so garden firewood etc is pretty physical too.. I always pick the pretty ones and occasionally wear it over the skirt!!
Oops I ment shirt not skirt🤣🤣.. I do wear skirts tho🙄🤷🏼♀️💃🏼
this was a fashoin for women for hundreds of years not decades buy many hundreds of years. medical means has helped us live longer so anyway I love my corsets and I will wear them because it feels great to me and my posture , I also feel so feminine and yes i can be the tomboy i am in a corset.
I found this to be a very informative and interesting video! Thank you for posting. :) I hope you get the opportunity to do more research on this topic.
Also, I just checked out your blog for the first time, and I appreciate how well-organized and user friendly the layout is. (Because I am relatively new to corsetry, I especially appreciate the "research corset brands" tab. It is nice to have so much information presented in a well-organised and easily understandable way.)
Thank you so much! I'm really glad that you find my website easy to use. :) I'm always trying to think of better ways to organize it, but haven't found another style that I've like better than the current layout.
interesting that the brass was not a problem in a MRI, as use an oscillating magnetic field, which is also what they use to remove aluminium cans in recycling plans after having used a non-oscillating magnetic field ferromagnetic parts.
I think it has something to do with changing magnetic field inducing a current in the metal which then create a magnetic field opposite the original field.
and good video, to bad that they video isn't as easy to rip as youtubes.
Given a strong enough magnetic field, any metal can be magnetic - maybe the field is stronger in recycling plants than they are in an MRI machine? Brass is an alloy from copper and zinc, and although it's pretty well-known that copper is weakly magnetic, I suppose not enough to react in the machine. It was good that they checked it first, though. :)
***** well depending on the length of the non-magnetic but conducting bones and frequency, I thing that it would mess up the data more then it would be dangerous for the person being scanned. but German plastic boning I do think was a good idea.
and in that case it being a ring means no ends to arc from, which is a good thing and mean that at most they will just heat up a bit
***** are you left handed ?
steamcastle Yes, I'm left handed.
And the brass was only used for the grommets, and they were tested prior to being installed in the corset.
The misconception of corsets lies in the fact that most women do not follow the main rule when lacing up, yet afterwards all too many claim they can't breathe properly, and what's sad, is the rule is so bloody simple. 1) the corset should not be lined in satin, but linen or cotton, this will allow for better grip & a lit less slippage. 2) the boning must be spring steel, not plastic. Coil is ok, but spring steel is the absolute best. If the one you buy has plastic, then change the plastic pieces for soring steel. 3) You must remember that the object is to create a nice silhouette, & waist training takes time. And 4) The corset/bustier should be snug, but Not tight around your ribs, tight about your waist (approx 2" above & below,) & snug about your hips. Here's the easy way to achieve this.
Placement is very important. Once is place, & lightly snug it up. Next adjust as needed. Now reaching behind you, grab ahold of the strings, & standing as erect as possible, take the deepest breathe you can, lifting your chest as high as possible, whilst sucking in your tummy hard as you can, & while holding your breathe, pull on the stings as hard as you can in one pull. Do this by bringing you forearms towards your tummy. Crossing the strings, you can carefully transfer the stings to the opposite hands then tie either in front or in back. Of course with help, it wont be so much trouble.
now that your laced, you will not have any trouble breathing. Why, because you took the deepest breathe possible; ergo, you still can.
Hi Lucy. Thanks for the great information. I just wanted to say as for me personally corset training has been a miracle for my digestive system.m
+Vanessa Saavedra Hi Vanessa, thanks for your comment and your kind words! Can I ask how your corset has helped with your digestive system? I'm currently making a book on the therapeutic benefits of corsets, and I'm very interested to hear your experience. :)
+Lucy's Corsetry. It has work wonders. I suffer from constipation (extreme) sometimes weeks pass and no BM. I've had mri's tons of meds prescribed and nothing has worked like a corset. i use my corset 10 hours a day 7 days a week and i have a BM daily
Vanessa Saavedra Wow, thank you so much for your experience. :)
Will your book explore the ability of a corset to impact blood pressure? I have dysautonomia and my blood pressure drops cause near fainting but wearing a corset keeps things stable for me.
In my opinion corsets are beautiful for special occasions, and dressing up. Not for a daily garment. Also I tend to favor making corsets that don't use the steel boning. Some people may consider rigilene and plastic boning to be "cheap or lesser quality". I beg to differ. At least these materials allow for movement while offering support. My concern is supporting the breasts, then I consider the waist. Any good corset will cinch the waist steel boning or plastic boning. Also, I think in 2017 we should look at alternative ways of making corsets. Currently I am experementing with different style lines, materials, etc. It is really fun to challenge my sewing skills. Currently I am working on my second sample corset. Lots of trial and error, but I am certainly not making anything that will shift organs!
Here is a game changer - PUT AN ELASTIC BAND INSTEAD OF SLIK ONE IN YOUR STEEL BONE CORSET. You will be able to breed and it moves with you, so it is much more comfy.
Thank god I'm German, haha!^^ I just watched the show and it's indeed very interesting to see these scans. I also loved what Eden Berlin said in her interview part: "I think wearing a corset is like wearing high heels. Both are uncomfortable, but they make you feel good." =)
Given the right corset, I find corsets more comfortable than high heels, haha!
I wear both, even both together, and if you're wearing the right size, they're not uncomfortable at all.
The legendary Mae West said "A woman should always pay well for good shoes and a comfortable bed, for if she is not in one, she will be in the other." I'd like to add corsets into that. Don't go cheap, buy a good one from a reputable maker and make sure you get the right size. I got my corsets from Orchard corset and they're quite comfortable.
To be honest, I find stilettos, especially those taller ones, much more painful to wear than corsets. I enjoy wearing corsets but I stay clear of stilettos. Wedges and block heels aren't that bad. For me, poorly fitting shoes have caused way more pain than corsets ever have, like when I had a blister or broken skin caused by the shoes and still had to walk 15 minutes to get home.
Thank you for sharing! Also, I love that sweater.
Thank you! It's one of my favourite sweaters; I've waited all summer to pull it out again. So cozy. :3
Do you get that the human body is more complex than just some organs sitting around in the body? There is lymphatic fluid moving through the body, blood pressure, the way the colon is able to make peristaltic waves and so much more that people just ignore because they think wearing a corset is healthy. Honestly, something that hinders you doing activities like running, yoga or other sports ultimately can't be healthy. Doing it longterm won't be healthy for sure. And if it's only a few short periods of time, then do as you wish, but do not believe that you can alter the shape of your body without having to pay for it with you health.
Totally agree there's so many other ways to do do
+Lwilde342 I'm well aware of this (I've been studying anatomy and physiology longer than most people). I have videos on corsets and blood pressure, and my upcoming book features several people who have had their corset-wearing cleared by their doctors to help stabilize their orthostatic hypotension. Moreover, I never condone wearing a corset during physical activity (I've made several videos and articles about this as well.) A well-made, bespoke corset made by a corsetiere trained in orthopedic technology is structurally no different from a medical back brace, and is in many ways more customizable. This video happens to feature a tightlacer, but there are many other practical applications to corsetry that can't be ignored, and studying their affects on the body will help to improve the safety and functionality of other medical ortheses as well.
I get what you were saying (as this post is over a year old now at this point) but even casual and dress clothing that doesn't affect your organs can impede physical activity. That's why they make sports and athletic clothing. Most people certainly don't do yoga in jeans, as an example, and you wouldn't go running in business clothes.
Lwilde342 it's how you do it
roseanna logan what are the. Other ways to have a cinched tiny waist
Fascinating, and thanks for sharing. What an interesting choice for a video program to take on.
I'm not excited, I'm terrified. Anything that is moving my organs is not worth the slimming effect.
Every time you twist and move, your organs move as well. If your intestines couldn't move naturally via peristalsis, you'd never even be able to digest food! What corsets do to intestines is not all that different from "vacuum stomach" or the nauli kriya move from yoga.
Also look up pregnancy. It moves your organs to make room for the baby. The human body is fascinating.
Bulmachan224 You are right! A corset worn properly will never move your organs like pregnancy. Plus diet pills, yo-yo dieting, food that is overprocessed, GMOs, can cause more harm than a simple corset. It's like everything else... moderation.
Your organs always move
BDSandM?
the trick to get benefited in shaping while not harming urself is a lot easier. be moderate dont be extreme. if its meant to be as tight as it makes uncomfortable and even give some pains at the beginning, then go for one size upper. at least it helps to shape and give postur, comfortable but not lazy comfy, it is a type of comfortable that u find easier to rest ur straight postur, that is without the waist tights the effort to maintain that postur is more difficult that the waist thing helps make it more convenient. this item should works in way it helps not trouble u, except with some moderate efforts. let the bigger part of slimming and losing fats go to good diet and exercises. dont depend so much on waist train. this thing should just be the coating that support the real works within. be real, be healthy.
Yes let's have a proper study of what really happens to someone's internal organs from wearing a corset. Surely your organs shifting and being in a different position isn't good for you in the long term.
It really doesnt matter were they are as long as they function properly. If your heart is on the right side of your sternum instead of the left as it should, it doesnt have any negative effects whatsoever.
purple2275 If you say "surely" it immediately becomes your opinion lol
Your organs shift during pregnancy 🤷🏻♀️
purple2275 is
They can shift but if it is in a way where there is not proper blood flow,that is deadly. Blood clots,organ necrosis. The problem is some women wear them way too tight,and for too many hours during the day for faster results. Like she said slowly is fine. With pregnancy the shifting is gradual and a different force of pressure. Do you know what they use in corsets to push everything in,strips made of steel.
very informative video. no useless rambling and I appreciate that. thank you.
You are always so informative and helpfull. Thank you do much. I look forward to hearing my new corset
I love your videos. I really want a corset but my husband is against spending the money. I'm disabled so my income is fixed and small. So I am slowly saving my pennies. Can you suggest a good value for the money corset? My goal is to use it as an assistant in weight loss and a good posture reminder to help me breathe around my asthma better. I also love your hair. Mine is down past my tail bone and very wavy. You inspired me to keep growing it in spite of peer pressure to cut it. I'm 45 years old and it's turning white. My in-laws say I'm too old for such girlish hair. They're Danish and I live in Denmark. My American family grows their hair long to honor our American Indian ancestors. Best wishes
i suggest catching a sale at orchardcorset.com good luck and stay true to YOU. No one lives your life but YOU.
Since you have a disability, consult with your doctor and listen to your body.
I don't suggest using a corset if you are asthmatic. Corsets can push up the diaphragm causing little room for lungs to expand. We are meant to "belly breathe" which allows for maximum air intake and corsets do not allow for easy belly breathing. I am not against corsets but I advise against using one in your case where your breathing is already compromised.
I have asthma and I wear a corset from orchardcorset.com and I love it. It has had no adverse effect on my asthma, but I did find something interesting in that my incidence of anxiety attacks has dropped quite dramatically since I started wearing the corset. I had a lower back/pelvic injury some years ago which, despite regular chiropractic care, I developed poor posture, particularly when sitting. The corset has improved my posture quite significantly.
how do you know the organs would have adjusted? are there any scans of people wearing corset with adjusted organs?
Spot on. I've once had to redo my lacing because I'd rushed it and it didn't feel right, probably the same thing.
I have decided I do not want to do tight-lacing, ever. I don't want that tiny of a waist. I have a nice-fitting corset too, but when I wear it, I have trouble with being short of breath. Any suggestions?
+LauraBeth Scibetta Your corset might be a little small around the ribcage - there are different types of corsets (for instance the one in this video is designed to cup around the ribcage instead of compressing the ribs). This allows you to take a deeper breath. You can give yourself more room in the top by lacing the corset with a lacing gap like "V". It might not be a perfect fit, but comfort should come first.
mine is a CC 436 I think from Orchard Corsets
I tend to really like the CS-201 from Orchard Corsets for this reason. I have a longer torso so it sits just at the bottom of my rib cage and avoids and restriction to the ribs at all while giving a beautiful curve. If you have a longer torso that may help you a lot.
In first place of wear, I mean when it's your first time you'll feel short of breath, but after wearing many times like twice ,it will be okay like you feel comfortable.. i wore corset every day and night and my fat lose.. im happy that it really works
Thanks for sharing that. It’s not often that one comes across MRI images of someone in and out of a corset. The biggest takeaway for me that I shouldn’t try to run a marathon laced!
Hi Lucy, I have a naturally pear-shaped figure, but an asymmetrical waist. Would corsets help?
Lori Sally are you in waist training groups ?
Not really. I probably should be. Can you recommend one?
Assymetrical waist could mean scoliosis
I have slow digestion issues and wearing a corset helps speed it up.
I lose alot of weight after obesity but my Tummy look so jelly an unshape at all, can corset help?
no properly worn corsets should shift your organs. As someone who is really into fashion history the current outlook on corsets really hurts
What do you say in the possibility of nerve damage and progressive muscle weakness due to corsets?
when we ride rollercoasters and do other activities the organs also shift a bit too. thinking about it is scary and cool
Hi Lucy, always appreciate your thorough a credible videos.
I was wondering if in any of your research you've come across anything for men in corsets, regarding the internal organs. It may seem silly to ask, but can our organs shift around as well? Or is that an anatomical difference in the sexes?
Thanks!
+StarKnightizm Hello! With exception to the reproductive organs, the peritoneal organs are very much the same. Men can perform vacuum stomach and Nauli Kriya, so they can definitely shift their organs temporarily and rapidly - and if they wear a corset that is small or dramatic enough, it's my opinion that males can experience some organ shifting from corsets as well (although so far, all of the live scans on corset wearers have been female). If you have any concerns specifically I'd always recommend that you speak with your doc.
***** I figured but thought I'd ask the corset queen herself. (; Thank you Lucy!
PS I'm sure you're probably overbooked, but I was wondering when we could expect your Skype sessions to be back up? I'm really interested in starting a waist training journey and would like to start it off as best I can.
StarKnightizm I hope to have them back up and running by summer! I was hoping I'd be able to maintain them during school, but it's been rather demanding on my schedule. :\ But (once I finish this compilation book!) I also plan to release a waist training book next!
***** Nice! Yeah I just started classes today and I'm already pretty busy so I can only imagining how hard it would be trying to maintain them. And wow, I'll stay tuned for that!
I came across this rather randomly today. #subscribed!
Lucy pleasr answer. Im so scared i used a waist trainer extremely tight. Insane tight, i wore it for 6 month. I would wore it all day for work5 days a week. It changed my waist sizd and rib cage form. I now stopped using it. My question is would my rib cage gp back to normal after using it???? Or maybe it would go back a littls bit but never to how it was before?? Please answer
Sign me up to be one of your subjects for the research, I'm sure you'll get to do in the future, I think this is a very interesting topic not only from the scientific or physiologic point of view but from a sociologic one, one taboo less in society wouldn't be bad 😉
Thank you Eli! :)
I am so interested in making corsets!
I wore a corset for 3 months but until today am suffering from extreme gas problem
Very informative as always, thanks Lucy.
I LOVE your shirt!!
you are not looking at the MRI pictures properly did you ask a DOCTOR? The organs ARE SQUISHED can’t you see?
Actually, yes. The TV show host is an MD. I've discussed corsets with two other local MDs, a chiropractor, and multiple psychologists. I personally know of several nurses who wear therapeutic corsets for POTS or hypermobility, at reductions comparable to that shown in the MRI. I also know of doctors who prescribe corsets (not just braces - corsets, like that in the video) for patients who have connective tissue disorders, to prevent their liver from dropping into their lower belly. The only organ notably changed is the large intestine, as stated in the video. Intestines constantly squirm on their own due to peristalsis. Bending over to tie your shoes or eating a big Thanksgiving meal also change the position and shape of your organs temporarily. Changing position is not the same as changing morphology or function.
@@LucysCorsetry omg can I talk with you in more depth about the POTS and hypermobility impacts?! Not asking for a friend. Straight up asking for me.
It is not accurate at all to portrait the accommodation of organs in pregnancy vs corset use. Pregnancy pretty much changes female physiology not only from the physical appearance but also chemically/hormonally point of view. Changes are huge and until this day we do not know 100% all the changes from a scientific and medical establishment. The strong hard data is lacking regarding corset long term use and the effects on the human body. However, one has to think about the fact that the human body is so perfectly rearranged and created that everything is in the right place from the get-go...Human organs, and the symmetry of these have rearranged in a way influenced by gravity. There is a reason why astronauts do not stay a long time in space...Interesting topic.
Every persons body is different and organs can be positioned differently. For this information to be viable you'd have to do a huge study based upon many different factors. You also mentioned this is a game show. Sorry, but I think that this should be studied, not gossiped about.
+Roxanne Wright 4:15 of the video, I said that I would love to do a broader study on how different silhouettes of corsets affect many people who have different size and orientation of their organs - also how experienced they are, whether they're male or female, and if they've ever been pregnant. True that a study of n=1 isn't a comprehensive study, but scientific evidence doesn't count for nothing. "Gossip" in my opinion is the 200-year-old game of broken telephone where people have spread rumours of women surgically removing their ribs for aesthetic purposes (this wasn't a viable procedure during the corset era) or that corsets were the cause of "hysteria", sepsis, etc.
I know this is old, but surgical steel doesn't react in an mri. So not sure why they didn't just use that. I have piercings that I leave on all the time when going into an mri.
Fizzypopization Good point! But different types of steel have different amount of iron content depending on its use. Tool steel is different from spring steel. Spring steel needs to be softer and more malleable/ flexible, which also makes it good in corsets, while tool steel is a bit too rigid. Tool steel that has a rainbow/ blueish color to it has also been incorrectly tempered and can be brittle / shatter if stressed too much!
I have never seen steel bones for corsets that are non-ferrous, so it was probably cheaper and easier for the maker to source plastic boning. :)
Wow she wore that thing tight!
Hi, first of all, awesome video!
Second, do you know anything about "Mystic City Corsets"? I haven't seen you review them yet and I would really like to hear your opinion on them since some of their models are pretty extreme (like a custom corset would be) but the price is too low, and honestly that scares me a bit.
Best regards and keep being awesome!
great video.
thanks.
This is hilarious to me, as someone who’s just now seriously getting into corsetry in 2021 after having wanted to for years, and who also just had their entire large intestine removed in 2019
So.... can your body function without a large intestine? So curious
@@ijustwannacommentnotmyreal9814 oh yeah. I had an ileostomy bag for about a year while healing after having my large intestine removed, and now I have an ileo-anal pouch or J-pouch. It’s basically a jury rigged replacement formed using a portion of my small intestine, and allows me to poop more or less normally. The only draw backs are that I have to go somewhat often and don’t absorb water as well, which are much less debilitating than severe ulcerative colitis was.
Wearing a corset is one of the biggest regrets in my life I have chronic back pain leg pain arm pain entire body pain that will not go away. I am incredibly weak and wish I never did.
Hi lucy :) may I ask if wearing 24 steel boned corset will affect my future pregnancy? or affect my fertility?
Hi Karisha, I talk about this more in my video on corsets and the female reproductive system. Here's the link:
ruclips.net/video/lZc-0GXhluc/видео.html
Hi beautiful.i luv ur all videos i really want my coreset but in pakistan its hard to find nd if i order fromthere its quit expensive could u help me how i got my dreamy corset
Thank you for educating myself on this
Why would you want your organs shaped anyways like is a small waistline worth your health.
No one wants their organs permanently reshaped. This scan demonstrates that the organs move readily, mostly just air pockets in the intestines move out of the way and go back into their natural positions when the corset is off. A well-fitted corset worn responsibly does not impact the health of the wearer. Practices like yoga will move the organs too, as well as natural phenomena like digestion and pregnancy, and medical devices like back braces. That's the summary of the video.
I just don't get the excitement over this.
Fuck up why you watching it then
corsets are cool but they still have a danger to them so be safe practice safe lacing
I wish i could understand the German, very interesting . Thank you for sharing.
We're working on a transcript! I hope to share it once it's done. :)
one can ask any asthma patient how good having properly placed, not displaced lungs are if their function is somehow limited.
( chest organs placement being not effected? at all? that i doubt while wearing a tight laced corset, and lungs are not the only organ jumping up and down actively in the chest cavity -everyone disregards the poor thing- )
I have plenty of videos and articles on my site discussing how corsets affect the respiratory system. I can also refer to you several asthmatics who wear corsets. All corsets are not made equally.
@@LucysCorsetry
then they either are wearing significantly less restrictive types, or wearing them less tight, and the illness is under control hopefully. good for them. i hope to get my ailments in good order too.
and...... i Definitely dont remember writing asthma patients Dont or Cant wear them.
i wrote, ask them having properly placed lungs are any good, if the breathing function is somehow (in their case its airways) restricted.
......... do they really say the placement of lungs are the only thing that effect breathing? really? ......... ? that so long as lungs, like theirs, are normally placed, like theirs, that means its as good as it gets breathingwise?
i know you didnt say that! but i havent said asthma patients cant wear it too.
i meant the video says, chest cavity organs were not displaced appreciatively. (that i disagree as i have written) i meant it doesnt matter, because, chest cavitys organs are mobile kind. like bowels. unlike kidneys, spleen, liver, pancreas, uterus etc....... but even if it was, properly placed organs are, yes needed for good function, but not enough! for especially mobile organs! such as lungs and heart.
and people always dismiss heart. chests inner pressure effects blood flow of main vessels, and changes the rythm of the heart. corsets may not affect it that much, because lungs and diaphragm changes it every moment. some arithmias can be controlled by controlling breathing, but i am not a cardiac doctor, so could have misunderstood its theuropatic capability.
so have i misunderstood or is the video really saying that a constricted abdominal cavity didnt have an effect on breathing? not even such constricted one.
let me say i reeeeeeeeally doubt it.
to breathe,
1) you pull your ribs up by your muscles, which increases the diameter of the conic barrel we call chest.
so anything not letting chest expand Will decrease the end volume. how much it will decrease will depend on the restriction ofcourse.
2) you have a diaphragm, which is a tight elastic sheet under the chest, above the abdomen. its shape when you exhale is a high dome. like an open umbrella.
when you inhale it contracts, by doing so becomes flatter, presses the abdominal organs down, and pulls the underside of the lungs down to its newly conquered space which was abdominal cavity land just a second before.
and when your diaphragm presses down on guts and the like, abdominal wall expands to give space to them.
so, firstly, by restricting stomachs expansion, you re not giving the space needed to the organs of abdominal cavity at the end of inhaling.
secondly, by pushing the abdomen in, you re creating a positive pressure there, which is working in the opposite direction to the diaphragms pushing down effect, so it cant get as flat as it can now.
like the plunger of a syringe thay you cant pull all the way because some wise artist added an arch that stops it midway, say, when the plunger gets to the 5 ml or 8 ml mark. good job administrating the usual, say 10 ml drug dose now, you need to use the syringe more than once, thats a fact you cant escape. now how many times you need to use the syringe depends on the artists archs restricting point, meaning how tight you lace the corset.
if a corset doesnt effect the expansion of both chest and abdomen (those muscles are all small and are not strong enough to rip the restricting clothes apart, so corset needs to be really loose, or if you prefer to call it barely if any laced one can, for this to apply), and somehow dont put positive pressure on the abdominal cavity thus fighting against diaphragms pressure, yes Then it will not negatively effect breathing.
other than that, one just needs to look at the athletes clothing, or martial arts, or a full plate armour (real ones! not metal corsets!).
as far as i know, admittedly i am not a historian and might have missed much, males Really Using their Body didnt restrict their chest and abdomen.
aaaand now let me sit and watch examples of such males pile up.....:)
edit: i am only against the notion that corsets doesnt effect breathing. not saying anything about working class womens garments. again, not a historian here, but those women must have barely if any laced their corsets, or somehow the didnt constrict all the abdomen, giving space for organs to expand. which might only result in less restricted breathing, good enough to work, but let me recommend a google search. intraabdominal pressure hernia -with or without pregnancy-.
ukhealthcare.uky.edu/wellness-community/health-information/pregnancy-hernia
www.medscape.com/answers/189563-45205/what-increases-intra-abdominal-pressure-and-may-cause-an-abdominal-hernia
dont look for the word corsets in these pages please, they probably havent thought of tight lacing while writing them.
As I explained under your other comment... my videos and my written posts discussing corsetry’s effect on the respiratory system can be found with a quick google search. This particular physician said that the large bowel was the most affected system, based on MRI imaging, not based on symptomatology. You’re welcome to watch the video clip.
@@LucysCorsetry and,
as i have written in my edit (before you have answered my comment) i am not saying they allllll were restrictive devices, and the ones that are for sure could have been worn less restrictively, for obvious work related reasons. one can don a sports bra, or one can put on such a bra that digs and results in sores. or two person can wear same regular kind bra, one very tight for keeping a respectable chest shape as some rigit work environments would not let one look sloppy, and another one loose for their work would not let them use a tight one.
again, as i have written before the edit, on the main part, if a corset doesnt restrict expansion of chest and abdomen, and doesnt put positive pressure on the abdomen yes then breathing may not get effected. (that would mean different kind s or models of corsets. maybe they exist. in fact they must exist, because you have said in another answer to me that asthmatic people wear corsets. so either the illness is under good control, and/or the corsets they use are not that restrictive)
and yes i have watched some of your respiratory videos. not all i admit. but even there you yourself say the basal parts of the lungs generally get restricted. yes, i know basal third of lungs are not used in normal deskwork environment. but not using something but perfectly being able to use it if you, say, need to run to catch something, or worse run from something as a female is not the same as not being able to use it if you dont thake it off.
and some youtube videos show lung respiration capacity loss about 200 to 300 ml per every breath. and document the body starts increasing the breath rate to compansate.
yes. they can, and for sure had been worn less restrictively, (for how would women collect harvest, but i dont think they were called corsets. stays? i dont know the name.) even you re not saying they didnt restrict breathing as far as i understand. but if i am not mistaken the answer "it restricts effects lungs" was the wrong one among the 3 answers. that implies breathing was not effected appreciatively. which can not reliably be tested by mri (not by the regular ones at least and not if extreme changes are present). the video implied, -yes didnt say buy solidly implied- the bowels were effected. period!. bowels are such organs that get effected only very extreme luminal restriction is somehow gained or something restricts its blood flow, which both are very hard for a corset to do, without doing something worse to other organs, but its possible to harm bowels too, we re human 😓 and are capable, yes.
Wonderful! 💜
I've been happy about this news all day!
Interesting video.
Very interesting
Can you wear corsets under things like shirts
Yes, of course! Before the 1980s punk/ goth movements, everyone wore their corsets and girdles under their clothes. Nowadays it’s called stealthing.
Corsets are fine as long as you're not extremely tight lacing and crushing your organs!
Is it true that corsets can cause or worsen uterine prolapse?
While there's no definitive research that shows that corsets cause prolapse (because prolapse has been said to be caused by many things, including loss of muscle tone, pregnancy, heavy lifting, etc.), it is true that corsets can exacerbate a pre-existing condition. People who already have a uterine prolapse may feel an uncomfortable pressure if they wear a corset, and I discourage people from wearing corsets if they cause discomfort or pain, or have contraindications. I have a video about corsets and the reproductive system here: ruclips.net/video/lZc-0GXhluc/видео.html
so there is such a thing as lacing fast and lacing slow. i tend to lace up fast is that, ok?
I know people who tend to lace up quickly and they _seem_ to be okay, but I will always recommend going slower.
What was the waist size of the corset worn in the MRI? Very interesting.
That I don't know, but I will ask Eden. :)
I was wanting to do waist training but with a corset ( i dont know the proper term sorry) not to an extreme extent just to give me a more defined hourglass shape. would it have a negative impact on my body internally? I was thinking about asking my doctor because i have had trouble with my kidneys in the past. I am also a softball player so i do not want to cause any harm to my body. If anyone could help that would be great, im sorry if i sound clueless im only 15 lol.
Wearing a corset at a light reduction usually isn't an issue for someone perfectly healthy, but I don't recommend corsets to people over the age of 18 because it is a form of body modification. Also because you have a history of kidney issues, I recommend you speak to your doctor about it (if you're still interested after you turn 18).
Lucy's Corsetry Thank you so much!!
Hi Lucy,
I have asthma.. is it save for me to use a steal boned corset trainer?
Kisses from Holland x
I would check with your doctor first. :)
I also have a video on how corsets affect your breathing:

Hi Lucy, I have recently stumbled upon your channel and i fell in love instantly it persuade me to purchase my first corset from orchard corset the cs-411 and i am in love there is not one thing i dont love about it until today i ran into a little situation with my corset. I was in a rush this morning i was all laced up and ready to go until i got into my car. now how in the world do you drive with a corset? I mean i was all over the wheel and i couldn't help it lol not to mention i felt all eyes were on me. I even drove with my hand over the wheel like i was cool but it wasn't working. please help have you ever had this situation and how do you do it?
Driving in a corset is honestly one of the trickiest things, which is why I haven't made a video about it yet. I did write a guest blog on Timeless Trends about it though:
timeless-trends.com/traveling-in-your-corset
But the bottom line is, if you cannot drive safely (turn to check your blind spot, etc), then loosen or take off your corset until you get to your destination. Safety and proper operation of a heavy machine always comes before fashion!
***** Thank you so much :)
Christine Martins omg. I just ordered my first ever corset 411, and I kept watching vlogs and reading up on waist training, and never read anything on the effects it could have on driving. I'm a stay at home mom and I'm in the car a lot. Any ways thank you for bringing this to my attention, in reading the link Lucy corsetry left I am thinking I will wait many months before if ever I attempt to drive in one (probably not haha). Three beautiful children I have to be fully in control. Anyways thank you so much again😉
Hi Dorothy Lamont hair was as long as yours 30 inches I hope you keep your hair long. A suggestion wear solid colors more stylist
Like your utubes 💃🌠
Lucy, if you truly believe their would be different results for the MRI scans under the various conditions you mentioned, then you should demonstrate it, instead of talking about it. It definitely seems, from an outsider's perspective, that your video is based in self-interest to allay your viewer's/customer's concerns about corsets. Please, use evidence, anything else is disingenuous.
corset is Very good: #thinwaist
Let talk about something called tight-lacing
Eden’s corset is laced at a 20% reduction from her natural waist, which is by definition tightlacing.
i wear it for 8 hours , myself waist fat is gone but my ribs fracture kinda hurts
So...Dr. Oz is at it again. He really keeps calling (well so do other uninformed individuals) girdles, Corsets. First that is irritating all on it's own. But what has now frustrated me...is the fact this FOOL tried to do the same thing as the german tv shown, yet my respect for this man is like...gone :-/ he needs to stop. Knowledge is power.
I've responded to Dr. Oz's claims on my blog :)

oh oh so should i use corset or no :-(
age 22
im 15 and i wear corsets.
+Imani Rhie yuck
+Imani Rhie same and I want one
I'm 18 and I bought my first one ^^
i m 16 ....bt i use one
but that's pregnancy is a natural movement of organs... the corset is man made
The makeup you are wearing in your photo is also man made. So are back braces and surgical tools and glasses and so many other things. Assuming something is dangerous just because it's man made is silly.
@@lindsayosterhoff2459 not to mention how traumatic being pregnant actually is on the human body
@@mcd08 Agreed. Being pregnant is WAY harder on one's body than wearing a corset.
I love my son with every fiber of my being and regret nothing but wearing a corset every day is much more comfortable and safe than pregnancy. Plus, corsets helped back instead of making it worse.
@@lindsayosterhoff2459 I have twins, I would do anything for them but don't ask me to be pregnant again lmao 😂 and I had a relatively easy pregnancy considering it was twins 😅
@@mcd08 I only have one child but I had a traumatic pregnancy and especially traumatic birth.
I'm never doing that again and also grateful that corsets have helped me. I grew up with back issues and pregnancy made them SO much worse. I'm very thankful for the unnatural support that has helped me with the damage caused by natural events.
I wouldn't trade my son for the world. I'm also glad for my pretty back braces.
All this for a waist?
No corsets offer tons of support
Unfortunately, I don't understand German.
Tonia Merz (the corsetiere behind TO.mTO who made the corset in this experiment) and myself have agreed to try and make a transcript for the segment in English. I'm not sure how long it will take, but will publish it when it's finished. :)
La cara pa cuando
heyy
Does it work on guys
Yes, look up Fakir Musafar or Mr. Pearl! There are some things to look out for (the ribs are not as flexible and muscle tone may be more resistant if you have more testosterone than estrogen) but that means it simply takes more time and dedication - but it's not impossible.
@@LucysCorsetry do they have Facebook page or RUclips
Fakir Musafar passed away last month (almost 88 years old, lung cancer) but he still has a website and Facebook page. Mr. Pearl is elusive but he has a Facebook and Instagram monitored by an assistant.
@@LucysCorsetry I'm sorry for their loss of him and I'll take a look
666k views ok?
I would never wear this. It's like a bra for the whole upper body. Hell no. A bra ia annoying enough and I don't even have boobs to wear the wire ones. Even a normal non wire bra can be annoying
☺Hi,I'm corset training for week now and is Awesome/Sexy 😍Still learning 😥
*plays the pretty huurts song by beyonce* ;____;
Corsets don't hurt if they fit you properly. :) Eden was tightlaced in this video, but even she mentioned that she wasn't in pain. There's also no requirement to wear a corset nearly as tightly as her - some (tightlacing) corsets are the equivalent of 4-inch heels, while other (orthopedic/ bracing) corsets are the equivalent of orthotic shoes.
Your beautiful love.. Man always wants to alter things. We make mother nature mad and wonder why things happen.
