What I'm wearing: Wasp-waist training corset by Heavenly Corsets

[EmsIsFab]

I slept in my corset for the first time last night. BEST SLEEP I HAVE EVER HAD! Thanks so much for the tips with the towels in the lumbar area and just under the legs that helped a lot. My back feels amazing this morning. I usually wake up and something or other hurts (well... I did this morning because I smashed my elbow on the wall while yawning). I was worried about sleeping in it at first. I just put it on at a 3/4 inch reduction (outer measurements).

I have a really bad sleep pattern and usually can't sleep for more than 3 hours without waking up and having to move around. I watched your video a week ago and whilst having a really bad time trying to sleep I thought of sleeping with a pillow at my waist to see if it helped. I realised that I have a 8" hip spring without a corset and my waist is quite low on my torso so I get a gap and this leads to twisting and back pain. SInce sleeping with a pillow i've been able to sleep 6-8 hours without waking and feel much better. Thank you so much.

Thank you for this video! I am an ICU nurse and I don't think I could handle wearing a corset during my job, even a short one loosely laced. I have been wondering about wearing one to sleep only (for the 3-4 days a week that I work) and then during daily activities on the 4-3 days that I am off. Also I have terrible acid reflux so the tips there were fantastic. I don't seem to have any trouble at night when I watch my diet and take my meds but it's still good to have the information. I will give it a try!

Never before it took me less than seven minutes to go from completely opposing an idea to happily accepting it and deciding I should try that myself. You, my dear lady, are a force to be reckoned with :D

I use a travel neck pillow when I sleep in a corset and I place it at my waist to fill the gap between my waist and my bed. It doesn't fall away from my body and if I should happen to roll onto my back it also provides lumbar support for me :)

I love that you always bring science into it! I love how clearly you explain all of your reasoning and make it simple to understand, yet keep your facts accurate--- lovely~

I just got my first corset a few weeks ago, and I'm going to try sleeping in it tonight. Thank goodness for this video.

I am definitely a tummy sleeper. One trick that I use for it is that I essentially will sleep on a body pillow which allows for even compression as the stuffing gets displaced to parts that would need extra support.

I have a naturally tiny waist and ribcage compared to my hips, and I find it more comfortable to sleep with a corset than without. I'm a side-sleeper, and the support of the corset keeps my spine straight. I don't have any trouble keeping my balance.

Thank you for this. The corset helps my back a lot and now I can feel relief even in bed

[reneediaz]

This helped so much ! I was already in pain from wearing it through half the night, so I woke up and tried out some of your tips and I had instant relief! Thank you!

I just got my very first corset yesterday! It's a custom made black training corset with 24 steel bones (including busk). I can lace down 10 cm! Yay!
I can breathe comfortably but for some reason my fingers and thighs are slightly numb, however that might be because I'm tired, not sure...
Thank you for all the cool tips, I tried a quick nap on the side and the towel really helped.
Your vids have been invaluable, thanks again

[trinirina]

Thank you this is very helpful because I work in retail so there's no way of wearing my corset during the day and u find sleeping in it gives me better results I just needed the comfort tips

[beyonce]

I'm a tummy sleeper and I don't use pillows or I would use the edge of a really thin one,
I find that it hurts the neck to use a pillow.

[granddchester]

Two Thumbs up!! You are really knowledgeable about the body organs and its functions, and explaining in a patient manner. It even beats the doctor's explanation!

[princesacute]

If your like me and you tend to roll around a lot and don't have a particular position you are most comfortable, or if your between two or more, then I suggest you either get a softer bed or add lots of blankets, towels, pillows and t-shirts all around and under kinda like a make-shift cradle I guess, I don't do corseting, personally think I look ok the way I am and I'm to active to start that sort of stuff, this tip is just for sleep in general I don't know if it would help with anyone who cinches their waist.

[knobdawg]

you are a natural in your videos. did you do public speaking in school ? It seems like you can talk to everyone and they would understand everything you had said !!

[CtrlAltPlant]

Me who sleeps on the tummy without a pillow: 👀👀

[gkittty]

You put so much thought and research into your corset information. Thank you so much.

[DaveNanan]

I've tried sleeping in my waist cincher and I've found it very comfortable, as long as I elevate my head, which helps prevent acid reflux! My back feels really nice when I wake up the next morning! 😊😊
