Girdles

Girdles have long been used by women to create a thin, streamlined look through the torso and abdomen, hips and buttocks, thighs and even legs.  There are many styles to choose from - each with its own unique qualities.  Although many women wear girdles for the aesthetic appeal, many girdles are also worn for lower back support, maternity/post-partum abdominal support, and (with the addition of garter belts) for the purpose of assisting in holding up pantyhose.
