carg Yes, that sounds like a reduction that is still comfortable. I assume going back to 56 cm (22") was not so much of a 'pleasant hug'.
Both are about the same amount of comfortable. I wasn't a serious tightlacer or anything like that before. Closing the smaller corset just kind of happened. I had bought it intending to keep a few cm of gap in the back, which is how I usually wore it.
carg I was a bit surprised to see how many overbust corsets they have - I'd assume that makes them more restrictive and not suitable for all types of breasts. Do you have experience with those? If so, what would you consider the advantages?
I've only ever worn underbusts, but I was planning to get an overbust. The advantage being that I could wear the overbust as a top. 🙂
carg Why did you not wear it for more days per week? Was that just because you were doing things on those days that were incompatible with a corset, or (also) because your back muscles could weaken if you wear one full-time? (The corset helps holding your body up straight, so the muscles that normally do that have to work less hard.)
Sometimes I just didn't feel like wearing it, or I wanted to wear some clothes that don't look good with a corset.
I was also more likely to wear it when it was cold out. I corseted much less in the summer.
