Medical
But first, let's take a closer look at orthopedic corsets. This is a special device, which, due to the fit and hard inserts, unloads the problem area of the back. Orthopedic corsets are used for the prevention and treatment of many diseases. Depending on the functional purpose, they are distinguished among them:
- fixing - for supportspine in normal condition;
- unloading - allow you to remove the load from the problem area of the back and reduce pain;
- corrective - help get rid of spinal deformities;
- mixed - perform several functions at once.
According to their purpose, they share therapeutic and prophylactic orthopedic corsets. But even the latter should be prescribed by an orthopedist, rehabilitation specialist, neurologist or other medical specialist.
People often ask how long to wear a posture corset to get it right. Usually the course is 3-6 months. The orthopedic device is worn starting from 30 min. a day, gradually increasing to 3-5 hours. Almost all posture correctors are designed to be worn passively.
Before purchasing them, you should consult your doctor, as serial models of corsets are not suitable for everyone. To correct some defects, special, custom-made ones are needed. And the specialist will decide how much to wear a corset for the back.
Slimming corset under clothes
The corset that tightens the belly and sides instantly gives the figure an hourglass shape. Such a thing, even on a very puffy lady, will indicate all the necessary curves - it will highlight the waist, pick up the sagging tummy and fat on the sides, and some models will also lift the chest. Slimming corsets are made of thin material so that they are not visible under clothing.
If you've never used one, here's what you need to know when choosing:
- Never buycorset only in the photo - this is the thing that must be measured.
- The material should be soft, pleasant to the body and elastic.
- Metal inserts should not stick out and rub the skin.
- If the product digs into the skin, then you need to take a larger size.
- Wide corsets are always better than tighter girdles, the latter distributing the extra inches unevenly.
Underwear element
Corset as erotic underwear looks very exciting and intriguing. On the one hand, it improves the figure, on the other hand, it covers it with several layers of armor (with the exception of very frank styles). It is usually complemented with panties and stockings. Such corsets, as a rule, are richly decorated with frills, ribbons, lace, rhinestones.
Lace and closures
There are several types of clasps on corsets:
- Busk is a metal rivet on a bar. This fastener is most often located in the front of the corset. It is quite stiff yet secure and can be buttoned up by yourself.
- Hooks are most often hidden. They are usually located on the side in several rows, directly on the fabric. You can fasten the corset yourself, while it does not hinder movement
- Zipper is the most unreliable fastener for a corset, as it can disperse under pressure. But it is very comfortable and is most often placed on the side or in front of the product, so that the zipper is easy to unzip.
- Lacing is a traditional method of fixation in the form oflaces or satin ribbons. There are single and double lacing. It can be located in any part of the product. But the most effective, giving the maximum slimming effect, will be lacing on the back.
How much to wear
A corset is not something you get used to quickly. Initially, wearing it is not comfortable due to constant pressure. But at the same time, you should not have painful sensations that indicate that the style or size was chosen unsuccessfully, or that this element of the wardrobe was simply not fastened correctly.
How long can you wear a corset? It is recommended to start getting used to a couple of hours a day, gradually increasing this time. And don't tighten too much the first time - 2-3 cm is enough. After the body gets used to the corset, you can wear it every day for several hours, as needed.
