They can be uncomfortable if not fitted corectly. I have several that were made to measure they are incredibly comfortable and sexy, I however most people buy off the peg and this is still sexy but sometimes painful for the wearer.
Early corsets actually helped to redue the life expectancy of women and is why women were thought to be so delicate as they would faint so often due to lack of oxygen.

Well, if you are talking about the original corsets, it is because they were so tight they broke women's ribs and crushed lungs.
There are some today that aren't the same, but they still can be too tight to breathe. Also, you have to have about no body fat to be able to get away with wearing them. Some women still wear them.

Have you ever heard about all the fainting that happened with women back in the days when they wore those? A tight corset constricts breathing and is not very healthy. I'd be willing to bet that is one of the reasons they are not around now . . .

Because they are painful BUT corsets are made for the bigger lady to make them look flattering. Skinny girls look stupid and sluttish in them unless they are properly designed personally. Corsets haven't gone out they just aren't as popular - my friend wears one she is a bigger lass and is a goth which cold explain it!!

Oh I love corset's they are comfortable and fitting!!
I'd love to know to be honest but then again they aren't being made as much either, so there's not much choice.

Apart from squeezing all internal organs out of place, restricting breathing and movement, yes, they are the perfect garments to wear!

Possibly because of the risk to your health......
You could break your ribs and puncture your Lungs because of the pressure that the corset is putting on your body....
Plus they are also uncomfortable......................

Because they are uncomfortable on women and plus it smashes her ribs together and can cause problems if worn for long lengths of time
