my girdle is killing me... not
Mom, who was my role model wore girdles, so I wore girdles, too.
Truth be told, my first girdles were her girdles. They were "mine" only in a temporary sense; I wore them when I was home alone and returned them to her dresser drawer when my dressing session ended.
She owned a variety of girdle styles and it was wonderful experimenting with them all, but my favorites were the high-waisted, short-legged variety, which is the style I bought for myself when I began buying my own. And it is the style I favored throughout my lady life, until now.
I recently discovered the Spanx line of body-shaping undergarments and its copycats. Avon sells some of the copycats and since I am an Avon representative, I could not resist buying one with my representative discount.
I purchased a high-waisted panty-style body shaper and during my recent trip to Dayton, I wore it instead of my normal girdle and waist cincher combo.
The body-shaper is lighter in weight and more comfortable than the girdle-cincher combo. Its body-shaping capabilities were equal to if not better than the girdle-cincher combo. Since the body-shaper is a smooth, one-piece garment, I was not concerned about revealing any lumps or bumps that the various parts of the girdle-cincher combo sometimes show through my clothes.
"My girdle is killing me," is now a thing of the past. I am sold on these body-shaper undergarments and am adding other styles to my wardrobe.
However, a word of caution: these new body-shapers grip your body like a steel trap, so if you feel the need to attend to mother nature, don't wait until the last minute to visit the ladies' room because slipping out of these body-shapers can be challenging.

Yeah... I really want to get a body shaper. it would help slim down that middle area nicely for me.
Love your blog. You might like my most recent one documenting the transformation from male to female
This is a little confusing. First you say that "my girdle is killing me" is now a thing of the past, with the new body shapers. Then you say, "these new body shapers grip your body like a steel trap."
Your body being gripped like a steel trap sounds like it's killing you doesn't it?
NV --- The new body shapers are very tight, but they are painless unlike the old school girdles with their metal and/or plastic stays and underpinnings.
I wear the old school girdles every day even just relaxing around the house and in truth they are very comfortable. The key is to be fitted and consulted by a professional corsetier in the right kind of make and model girdle and you will love it.
I still wear a pantygirdle over my tights at work , but I must admit I 'm glad to take it off when I get home by that time my tummy is usually complaining.
I used to wear a gidle but my stomach ulcer as flaired up again and the pressure on my stomach makes my ulcer ache . Now I stick to control top hose my ulcer can cope with that.
Spanx can not compare to the classic highwaist boned girdle.Panty girdles with satin or nylon panels to hold you are still the best shapers ever made as well as the most fem. I love wearing a classic girdle and will never wear Spanx.
