can't imagine how uncomfortable a girdle must be.... I thought spanx took over for those .

peeky May 6th, 2006 01:52 PM

you are all so wonderful.

Is it ok to wear the girdle to the beach?

Spending a week in Florida and worried about the competition.

Florida has lots of loose cheek bums on the beach, just relax sweety, enjoy yourself.

A girdle, I know will make you sweat.
A smile, a man, I bet :)

please!! no spandex!!

Seriously, one of the problems with sitting on long flights, is the danger of forming clots in the legs. I would think that wearing a constricting girdle would make the chance of clotting even worse.

Make a fashion statement and wear the girdle over your bathing suit.

Beware of sand getting in the girdle. Think electric sander.

As a manly man I like to wear an athletic supporter when I fly. I like the additional support it provides.

Umm, are athletic supports like girdles? I'm not really up on "girl" things. :-)

GoTravel May 6th, 2006 04:57 PM

indytravel, think of an athletic supporter that is 15 times too small.

Now put it on.

That is a girdle.

seetheworld May 6th, 2006 04:58 PM

LOL :D That was a good one, GoT!

indytravel May 6th, 2006 05:01 PM

Thanks for the visual GoTravel. :-)

This reminds me of a story a friend told me in the early 80's. She was one of 5 sisters. She married at the age of 21 right out of college.

She was going out shopping. Her newlywed (jokester) husband asked her to pick up a couple of new jocks for him as he was a high school gym teacher. He told her to make sure she got the model with the "extra deep pouch."

After asking a couple of people at the sporting goods store she was finally told by a female clerk that there's no such thing.

Believe it or not their marriage did survive that. :-)

seriously, do you think any one is looking? do you care?

wow May 6th, 2006 05:10 PM

Welcome back, Muffin! If you are wearing your leather pants you will not need the girdle.

peeky May 6th, 2006 05:20 PM

Yes people are looking at me - wouldn't you? I stride like a Queen.

I am not called Thunder Thighs for nothing - I will wear the girdle under my bathing attire.


cigalechanta May 6th, 2006 05:21 PM

The last I heard, muffy's leather pants still squeek. The good news for her is, the girdle over them will stop it :)

indytravel May 6th, 2006 05:23 PM

I KNOW when I've found a good woman. I can smell the ozone generated from her thighs-o-thunder. :-D

cigalechanta May 6th, 2006 05:25 PM

ROFL!!!!

Just be careful when wearing it thru security. Dearly departed 88-year old grandmother got frisked up and down because of her girdle that had metal stays in it.

Of course, depending on the frisker, it might not be such a bad thing...*smooch*

P_M - "all hell will break loose" ROTFLMAO!!!

peeky May 6th, 2006 09:45 PM

Picture two wolverines fighting in a spandex bag.

mcnyc May 6th, 2006 10:16 PM

Oh peeky! :))

Wear a spandex girdle if you must on the plane. Definitely forego the ones you must fasten.

Get them in beige or skintones if you're wearing them with your swimsuit on the beach :D
