Thank you all so much.
Honestly, I would take either at this point. I'd probably prefer to slim my waist. Thank you for the Orchard Corset tip. I will look into it. I started to look into hourglassangel I have tried and tried for most of my adult life and even my teen years (I'm 48) to have a strong core. It's not going to happen. Pilates does nothing for me. In fact, I've come to hate it. Classical Stretch is now more my thing. During the day, I forget to hold in my abs. It's hard to break bad habits. Phyllis, I thought so also, but I keep hearing them mentioned now. Some celebrities swear by them (not that that means much to me personally), but I googled yesterday and found all that out. I had too much time on my hands. My eshetician was shocked that I didn't know anything about it. Her mom bought her one as soon as she delivered her first child. My mom is clueless about such stuff. She's naturally skinny. I'm not. As far as I can tell, corsets are similar to Spanx. Quote:

Negin, I've heard about that too. Some people in my home country would wear one after delivery for a few weeks or a couple of months (only) until their stomach looked back to what it was before pregnancy. I bought two, when I was pregnant, but one was too lose to do anything and the other one was too tight, and it didn't feel comfortable, so I ended not using any, I wish I did
I've seem other people online who wear them forever (they just take it off for taking a shower, etc.) and keep tightening it up, to the point that it doesn't look "right" or healthy, it is even kinda creepy! Those costumes Prairiegem mentioned... I always thought they looked sexy and elegant, and I love watching films where people are dressed like that. I guess everything in moderation is okay.

I agree about everything in moderation. I'm still looking into one. The one that I want is not available in my size. So I'm waiting and reading up on it all.
