Some choose tightlacing from aesthetic reasons. Some do this to improve the figure, while others have a goal to achieve an extra-narrow, "wasp waist". This can be very important for some male to female transvestites, for whom achieving a feminine figure is a key requirement.
Some tightlacers become psychologically dependent on the tight corset or belt.
The term tightlacer is used for someone who sleeps in a corset. It is also used for men from wear corsets.
