Faja/Waist Trainer Recommendations ?

Hi! I'm new to waist training. I'm looking to purchase my first faja/waist trainer. I notice a lot of "fajas/waist trainers" online are cheaply made, doesn't snatch your waist etc... please let me know what waist trainers you all would recommend! Thank you! 🙏🏼

Looking for corset to fix floating rib

I’ve been having a problem for a few years with one of my lower ribs on my right side, and I’m wondering if a corset would help with that problem.
The rib sticks out (not forward, like a rib flare, but to the side). When I walk long distances especially with a bag, or sit down for a long time I am incredibly sore there, I believe because the rib is very close to my hip bone. I’ve been told since I was a child that I have a “long ribcage” (when I search for help for this I can only find advice for wide ribcages), but my problem is only on my right side and with that one rib.
I believe it is my eleventh or twelfth rib, and it is only on one side. I do not have scoliosis, but I did have slight kyphosis in my mid teens which has improved significantly since then (I am 20 now), so that may be the cause.

I’ve been to 2 doctors already who have noted this problem and have verified that this is not normal, and I’ve had bloodwork done (one of the doctors said I might have a swollen kidney that caused the rib to stick out, but bloodwork was normal), and nobody knows what the cause is, and I have no diagnosis, but I want to get this rib away from my hip so I can slim down my waist and hopefully improve my relaxation and body movement.

I know that floating ribs can be moved but I do not know where to start looking. This has been a problem for a while and impacts my daily life, and doctors are not helping. Doctors are expensive and I have already been to 2. I’m not sure where else to go. I don’t know what kind of corset would help with this, and if a corset is not the answer, what is?
