Talk:Girdle

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

in line 4 it should be distinguished between open bottom girdles (brief or hi waist) and pantie girdles (brief, hi waist or long legged). Hi waist girdles are very often zipped.


Rem text:

Arguably the most famous girdle, made by Playtex, was known as the "24-hour girdle", as it could be worn comfortably for long periods.

I think this is speculative at best and POV probably, and I think it refers to the 18 hour girdle, not 24!

Agree with the anon comments above, there's lots of room for expansion (no pun intended) here. A list of manufacturers might be a good start; Types of girdle and historical styles and fashions are another obvious direction, zips, panels, step-ins, pantie girdles, control briefs, the connection to stockings vs panti-hose, suspenders, "belts", girdle cover gussies vs briefs underneath, modern fettishists - all sorts of possibilities.
