Tightlacing is when someone wears a special device called a corset around their waist to make their waist look smaller. It's like wearing a really tight hug around your middle!
The corset has lots of really strong strings that you can pull and tie up, which makes the corset squeeze your waist really tightly. It can feel like you're getting a big bear hug that never lets go!
Some people like to do this because they think it looks pretty or they want to feel strong and powerful. But it's important to be very careful when tightlacing because it can be dangerous for your health. You need to listen to your body and not lace too tightly for too long or it could make it hard to breathe or cause damage to your organs. So always remember, safety first!
