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

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.

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

Now put it on.

That is a girdle.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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!!!

Picture two wolverines fighting in a spandex bag.

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
