It is important to have some sort of cotton underling underneath the corset to help protect your skin. Any type of cotton clothing that covers the corset area can be used but you can also buy corset liners that will be perfect for you. When beginning to put your corset on do not tighten it up straight away. Pull the rope till the corset fits snug and then pull the corset liner through. It is important to moisturise all over before trying on your underbust corset. Try to make sure you moisturise the total area that is covered and that there aren’t any dry spots. These simple tasks will help make sure that the lengthy process of putting the corset on will be easy and comfortable.
