Thanks for sharing this. I've never worn a corset in my life and probably never will, so it is good to hear other perspectives.

Re "squeeze machine", speaking as someone with Sensory Processing Disorder, I've read a lot about weighted blankets and the like being comforting to folks like me who are "on the spectrum". But to me, such confinement of my body feels suffocating. This is part of why I don't wear a binder despite being a transmasculine person with visible breasts. The one time I tried one on, I had a panic attack and couldn't get it off fast enough.
