Do corsets hurt?
A corset should never, never cause pain. If a corset causes pain, take it off immediately. I cannot stress this enough. Whether the pain is a result of a poor fit, or other concerns, it is never advisable to just bear with it. If you feel pain, something is wrong, and you can cause yourself injury by attempting to wear the corset. I once dislocated a rib forcing myself to wear a boned bodice that was too small, causing myself weeks of pain, and it could have been much worse. Even when tightlacing and waist training there should never be pain.
