Slim away as a corsette for riding?

If you havent seen the informercial for Slim away yet its basically a neoprine corsette of sorts. Has several zippers (bout 4 inches apart) so you can adjust smaller as needed (hopefully - since its supposed to help you loose weight via sweating, we'll see). They also mention about it being good for back support. One of my biggest issues with riding, hunt mostly, not as much as dressage or western longer stirrups, is leaning forward. Which in turn messes up my leg position. My back does get sore sometimes if I show a lot of classes.

In reading Riding Asides blog about her nice fancy corsette http://ridingaside.blogspot.com/, I thought not only would that help make my show clothes look better (esp western shirts) but it might help me keep straight, stregthen my core and as a bonus tone up a bit (not really counting on that part).

I never order anything off an informercial, esp when so often now you can find the items in the as seen on tv sections at several stores. Well I happened to be in a chain Fabric store looking for iron on patches for Divas poor shredded winter blankets (she REALLY needs to learn to fight back), and look what I found, 10% off even, no shipping, no handling and no extra one for "free" that I dont need. So for less than 10 bucks I thought Id give it a try.

Says it fits 22- 50 inch waists. Im somewhere in the middle of that, yet I am on the second to last zipper. Third to last was far too loose, this one feels snug but helpfull. That means I only have on more zipper smaller, kinda surprised me. My biggest fear was that it would roll up on the top or bottom, especially when seated. Not so far. And its hard to slouch! So I am going to try riding with it and see if it helps any. I can bet its going to be hot in summer but should be worth it. We shall see! Off to do some house work with it on.
