They say that beauty is pain, but in this case it’s just plain uncomfortable. At least it seems that way when you clap eyes on 24-year-old Michele Koebke, who has worn a corset non-stop (even as she sleeps) for the last three years in order to sport a super small waist.
Michele has managed to reduce her waist size from 64cm to 54cm, but is still quite a way off her idol, Cathie Jung, who has a waist size of just 34cm.
Reports tell that Michele compares the practice to that of an extreme sport albeit one that leaves her breathless and unable to consume a regular sized meal.
The same report also stated, “wearing the corset for so long has had quite a few negative effects on her health. It has weakened her abdominal muscles to the point were it is now difficult for her to stand without a corset on. It has pushed her stomach out of position and it is so constricted she has to eat 10 small meals a day rather than the regular three.”
So what do you think? Would you ever consider something this extreme to be smaller? Do you think it will prevent her from normal things such as childbirth?
