Tightlacing or training is a long process, with excellent results to those who are dedicated. Those who train and tightlace can permanantly alter their figure into an hourglass shape.
The more you wear your corset, the tighter you will be able to lace in it. It is a gradual process, usually resulting in healthy weight loss, better eating habits, and with proper training, a permanent reduction in both your natural and/or corseted waist. When you first start wearing a corset as a beginner, you will not be able to tightlace down very much. Like anything else, it takes practice, patience and dedication. Even if you are able to lace tightly the first time, it is not a good idea to do so! It can damage the corset, as your body isn't "molded" yet to be ready for such cinching, and it can be very uncomfortable, even dangerous, and it may discourage you from corseting at all. Slowly but surely is the way. I have even heard tale of people BREAKING A RIB by lacing too tightly too quickly. DON'T DO IT! Train your body gradually, don't force it. Be responsible and have patience.
To properly tightlace or train, most people will wear their corset (usually a custom made hourglass shaped underbust) up to 23 hours a day, even while they sleep.
If you plan to use your corset for training, I recommend a plain, sturdy cotton that is easy to spot wash and launder. Please see laundering instructions on the FAQ page.
Jupiter Moon 3 doesn't offer a training program, but there are many programs you can research online. I do not offer advice on training, but if you want to train, by all means, use my corsets for it! Be careful, and be dedicated, it will pay off for you in the long run if you want to tightlace in a safe and healthy manner. Do your research, find a good training program online, and you will be pleasantly surprised!
To the right you will see Patty, one of my most dedicated customers! She bought her first corset from me in October of 2007. Look at the difference as her waist measurement progresses, left to right. Patty didn't change eating habits, or exercise habits, but wearing one of my corsets for 12 hours a day is worth it! It takes a lot dedication, but Patty is a testament to willpower; she stuck with the training, and it truly paid off! She has lost several inches off of her waist! Click thumbnails for a closer look. Thanks, Patty!
