Girdling My Loins

My diet has been very successful. Maybe too successful because I now have some loose skin where there used to be firm fat particularly on my thighs.

I am taking non-surgical steps to tighten the loose skin, but in the meantime, I am girdling my loins. I purchased a high-waisted long leg shaper or old school "girdle." It is from Rago and it is just like the girdles my mother used to wear — the girdles I borrowed from my mother when I started down the femulating path.

I also bought a Rago long line bra. I am hoping that with my weight loss and the combination of high-waisted girdle and long line bra, that I can forgo wearing a waist cincher, thus lightening my foundation garment regime.

A nice feature of this Rago girdle is that it has a slit in the crouch crotch that allows you to urinate without removing the girdle. (I have owned girdles that do not have this slit and in those cases, I have opened up the seam and created my own slit.)

Another nice feature is the built-in removable garters and clips, a feature that is often missing in 21st Century girdles and shapers.

  1. I remember those old school girdles also, still to this day I always wear a control panty at least. In the 60's ans 70's a lady didn't the house without a girdle, hose, and slip.

    I was surprise at how expensive they are WOW.

  2. Stana,

    I just had to comment because my standard foundation garments are exactly the two you describe in this post. I wear a Rago girlde and long line bra. The combination gives me a narrow waist without the need for a cincher. Of course, I wear hip and bottom pads under the girdle so that aids in giving me a feminine silhouette. I love Rago products.

    Hugs,

    Sally

    Thank you so much! I have been looking for a long line bra for a while now. This recommendation is VERY helpful.

    1. Here is a tip: Order one band size larger than the size you think you need. I ordered according to my normal bra size and the cups were perfect, but the band was too small by about and inch and a half, so I sent it back and ordered the next larger band size.
