First time trying on my waist trainer

I’ve always longed for a more feminine figure and a nice waistline. Shapewear is fine to a point but for real definition I realised I would have to try a corset. But I don’t know where to start with corsets so have dipped my toe in the water with a latex waist trainer.
What is a latex waist trainer? It’s a kind of stretchy corset with hook and eye fastening down the front.

It looks nice, really high quality. The only negative is that it feels a bit rubbery although that’s only on the outside, it is soft cotton on the side that touches your skin.

The “before” picture 

Ok, what are we starting with?
Well, natural waist is about 34” and my tummy is a bit lumpy

Oh dear, that is not a very flattering picture is it!

Let’s get this waist trainer on and see what difference it makes....

Waist trainer on, first row of hooks

Well, that was easier said than done!
I’m in, how does it feel?
Not quite as I expected, but in a good way. It feels nice. Like an all over hug! I thought it might cut in or feel tight and restricting but it doesn’t. It’s actually really comfy. 
But the big question is, have I changed my waist?
Let’s have a look...

No!
What? How did that happen?
Got to try tighter and see how much that does

Waist trainer last row of hooks

Let’s see if full tightening makes a difference and whether I can still breathe!

Well, I got it done up and this does feel tight now. But still comfy as it moves when I breathe. The moment of truth...

No difference on my measurements then. 
But a significant improvement in my shape. 
Nicely defined all the way down my sides, love handles banished. 
And my tummy, completely flat. 

My verdict on my waist trainer 

The shape it gives me is perfect, lovely. 
Difference to my measurements, not much, although one unexpected benefit is an extra inch on my bust! Must have moved some of me upwards a bit. 
Really unexpected benefit is how comfy it is, even fully tight. 
Overall, I think it’s a keeper.

5 May 25 - living a lie

I’m wearing a soft crop top and Brazilian knickers under my male clothes today and it’s the first time   I’ve done so since my wife found out about my underwear.   I did wear some knickers last weekend for a day, which was nice but this is the first time I have had the crop top too.  Considering that I was wearing the underwear full time and the crop tops every weekday evening and all weekends for the previous month, this has been a big gap.  I have really been craving the feeling of a bra or crop top. That stretchy tightness of the band around my chest and the straps over my shoulders. It is such a relief to have one on now.  Because I’m a bit scared about getting caught out again I have only worn the soft crop top as that is least visible under my clothes. The more structured crop top has bra straps which are a bit more noticeable so although I really want to wear that, it felt a bit too risky.  This is so rubbish that I have to hide who I really am ...

23 Sep 2025 - a handbag?

I have not been out presenting female in public for about six months which is a long time.   The last time was my trip to London when I went out to the bar and dinner, which felt great, and to breakfast in the hotel which was less successful. At that time, I felt confident and like I could do this.   Following my wife catching me out with some of my underwear, I cut my hair, put away my clothes and didn’t do anything for a while. It seems my confidence got lost in that too, because when I started thinking about going out dressed again, I felt really nervous about it.  Probably doesn’t help that the anti-trans lobby had successes during this time and it feels a less safe thing to be doing now than it did six months ago.  Whatever the reason, I was pretty scared this time.  The biggest mental hurdle is around changing from male to female clothing, as I have to leave the office and arrive at the mall in male clothing, then be back in male clothing to go home so...

9 Feb 2025 - another week of ups and downs

Another week of ups and downs.  I did go out in a skirt, which was nice but just going around shops dressed female is something I have done quite a few times now and I don’t think I gain much from it in terms of real life experience.  Nothing new anyway.  Since I got the new first crop tops on Wednesday I have been wearing them at home every evening when I change after work and all weekend. Maybe the size 12 is a little tight and I should have got the 14, but it stays where it should and doesn’t ride up like my other less structured crop tops when I raise my arms or do something active.  Yesterday I had enough time to do a quick white wash of a couple of tops, a vest, the short nightdress and a few pairs of knickers. I even managed to iron the top and nightdress today, before my wife got up.  Having dinner last night, I was a bit hot, it being a curry, so I took my jumper off. I’m a bit nervous wearing just one layer over the crop top as you can see the outline ...
