Potential health risks

• Glénard's disease is the most common illness caused by prolonged corset use. It is characterized by lack of abdominal muscle tone and visceral displacement, giving the appearance of a "big low belly."^[7]
• Wearing tight-laced corsets over a long period of time may cause the lower ribs (floating ribs) to become deformed and pushed inwards. This can lead to organ failure, dehydration, or broken ribs.
• Improper corset use may deform the stomach^[8] and liver.^[9]
• Developing children are far more vulnerable to the potential health risks of corset use. As such, corsets should only be worn by fully-formed adults, never by growing children.

The difficulties in getting used to corsets

• Fainting. If the wearer is unaccustomed to shallow breathing, the muscles soon tire and work too slowly, severely reducing oxygen supply. Would-be wearers must train up their breathing gradually.
• It is important that the corset lengthens the waist, like a Redresseur corset, for better shallow breathing. A Ribbon corset is too short to accomplish this.
• A corset must be worn every day for five weeks before it has fully molded itself to the wearer's form (and the wearer has fully adjusted to the corset).^{[citation needed]}
