Someone has experienced tightlacing ?
Mtf crossplayer here. I already have a good, steel-boned, hourglass-shaped underbust corset that I wore for general crossdressing purposes, and it really does wonders.
However, not all crossplays allow me to wear a corset underneath (and it's generally not convenient), so I'd like to use it for tightlacing. I don't intend to achieve inhuman results, just having a thinner waist, maybe to avoid hip padding.
I've heard of the many issues tightlacing could cause (from vanishing to organ displacement problems). So, has anyone here tried tightlacing ? Is it dangerous, any specific precautions ? Is it a problem if I use a corset clearly designed for women, even if I'm a man ?
