Snuggly fitted corsets with a sturdy boning structure that tugs on your torso to give you an hourglass figure, sounds rather uncomfortable. However, the high demand for corsets rules out the absence of comfort argument. One of the main corset accessories that makes wearing a corset comfortable is the corset liner.
Corset liners are usually made of cotton, spandex, lycra, and bamboo. Linen is also used to make liners but not as much as the others mentioned. Corset users wear these liners between their skin and the product to enhance comfort. Bamboo liners are mostly used since they are made up of breathable natural fabric. Corset liners are available in different lengths to cater to the needs of both overbust and underbust corset users.
Here are a few reasons to use a liner while wearing a corset:
- Firstly, liners enhance comfort when wearing a corset.
- Liners absorb all the dirt and sweat to keep the corset clean and, as a result, enhances its longevity.
- In addition to keeping the corset clean, it prevents the sweat from damaging your skin.
The increased demand for corsets has also triggered an amplified demand for corset liners. Hence, to cater to the needs of both men and women who wear corsets, makers are seen manufacturing unisex liners with superior features, including UV protection, anti-bacterial, and breathability. The corset liners are also available in different colors, but black and nude colors dominate the offerings in this section.
It is important to mention that wearing a corset liner is not mandatory, though most corset users advocate its use. If corsets are used less frequently, and for brief periods, users can choose to wear it’s without the liners. However, among all the other accessories and embellishments that are offered with corsets, liners seem to be essential.
