A girdle?

[coccinelle]

This question came to mind when I was watching Mrs Obama this week. For the past few years I've been struggling to keep my figure, notably a waistline. This week I've notice Michele Obama wears a girdle. My question to you ladies out there over 40; do you wear a girdle? If I discover that the majority of women over 40 wear a girdle I'm going to have a party!! and eat what I want...

How very dare you!!! Lol - I'm not flabby at all. I weigh about 8.5 stone, and I'm 5ft. 7ins! And a bit!!
Lol - yep, very happily married beaniesq - but the bu$$ers always like to gawp anyway, don't they! : )

[beaniesq]

No moobs? Very disappointing.

And some Elvis guy told me there was no such thing as a flabby size 12. Therefore we must be Rubenesque or something equally seductive.

What a great word.... Rrrrrruuuuubenesque.

From now on, I am rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrruuuuuuuuuuuubenesque.

[Ice.Maiden]

That made me laugh!!! Lovely word, yes! A size 12? I doubt very much that you're fat! did elvis suggest you were? Where is he? Scamp! Crack him with the whip!

[beaniesq]

No Ice, it wasnt elvis, it was a chap I know. Look, here's my corset.....

Would that look ok with jeans? Bootcut or skinny? Whaddya think?

[ELVIS68]

Unless you have a face like a scrapyard alsation it doesn`t matter what size you are, although contrary to popular belief, men do like the fuller figure
And on that note ladies, I bid you goodnight x

[beaniesq]

Goodnight elvis - thank you for the comforting words :o)

[tubachub]

strangulation, only if i have to which isnt very often.and when i`ve had a drink i cant pull the bloody thing down so (oh gawd cant believe i gonna say this ) i end up with wet spanx. yuk

[beaniesq]

Ha yeah, thats tru tub, it's hard to get the things off. They cut off the circulation to your thighs when you're on the loo!

[Ice.Maiden]

Night Elvis. x

You don't need to pull the type that beaniesq's just shown, down. They either have a hook and eye fastening, or stop at hip or waist level, tubachub.

I think it's very pretty btw, B - nice with skinny tight jeans - but it depends what you feel most comfortable in.

[beaniesq]

Thanks. Think I'll give skinny a go. Bring it up to date a bit.

Yaawn. Sleepy now.

Night all! x

rrrrruuuuuuuuuubenesque.

Sorry, just wanted to say it one more time.

[Ice.Maiden]

LOL!!! Glorious.
Night hun. x

[tubachub]

icy thats even worse i`ve worn one of those,that beaniesq's shown try and focus doing the hook and eyes up when you`ve had a drink impossible totally impossible.

[Ice.Maiden]

Oh bless!!!! LOL - yep, I have to agree that if you've had a few, the hook and eyes become a bit dificult to do up. No, no - you're right - impossible! Think I used to give up in the end - why do you think I don't drink any more! LOL.
Anyway, time for bed now. Goodnight to you and anyone still standing.

[tubachub]

i ended up just tucking it in then become paranoid and having a feel to check that i havent got a tail hanging out.

night
i`M off now fanks for the lovely abuse,i really enjoyed it.LOL

[coccinelle]

Well, that was a bit of entertaining reading for this morning thank you. I don't think I'll bother with those spandex things if you can't get them off, I'll keep to the yoghourts and skimmed milk.

[NiceCupOfTea]

Trust me - flabby and size twelve does exist!

As I said above, these things stop you having to suck in your tum all night long as they just do it for you. If you wore one all the time you'd end up with no muscle control in your mid body whatsoever so I'm assuming they'll be in the news as a dangerous item soon.

[coccinelle]

yes, nice cup of tea I was told about losing muscle by wearing a girdle when I was in my teens, this was when some girls wore a panty girdle to flatten their tummy, so I've got used to pulling in muscles but as years go by it's a struggle keeping everything pulled in hence my question as to wether other women might wear them.
One question, are they comfortable or do they make you feel hot and sweaty?
