Let's Talk About Corsets, Girdles & Garters

Liza K. Interesting that you mentioned the dynamic between an OBG and stockings. I discovered that in those days I worked on the steel plant and yes, very definitely, the girdle holds the stockings up, the stockings pull the girdle down. These days my lovely wife has, sort of, indicated that stockings are a bit too far so I stick with those fabulous Rago extra firm high waist shapers.

What turns a man on with his woman wearing a girdle?

For me, having grown up in the Golden Age is how she looks, and feels to my touch. There is something so appealing, to me watching her walk from behind. Her wearing a girdle tells me that she cares how she looks, and that she wants to turn me on.

I love when we go out and I know what is under her clothes and have been known to take a fondle or three. And yes i get a charge when other men look at her, knowing she is mine.

When she is wearing a girdle she gets a confidence, a bounce in her step, a special energy.

I can't help it, a woman in a girdle turns me on 🌹

Eeetime...

I couldn’t agree with you more. A woman wearing a girdle is very classy in MY eyes. I love OBGs and LLPGs on a gal. When we were younger, in the 1950’s-60’s, nearly all women wore them. Today, it seems most women don’t know what a girdle is.

Some years ago, I am going to say more than 10, there was a now gone website called Zona which was a girdle site, actually it covered all types of vintage lingerie but mostly girdles. I found it during it’s dying days and it did not take much to see why it was becoming that way. But that is another story.

There was one very interesting lady there who called herself Lynn Locke who had a business collecting buying and selling lingerie of all sorts. Her collection was extensive and included girdles of all types, some from the 50’s, bras you name it, slips, garter belts, seamed hose, just to name a bit. Her pride a joy was a rubber OB girdle in a never opened tube it came in. She was very honest and easy to deal with, I bought a white LLPG from her, probably early 80’s girdle that was in primo condition, a little worse for the wear now but how many women get chased around the house in a 40 year old girdle?

Lyn was a very attractive woman and proudly modeled a white LLPG with a bullet bra on her website, her husband passed during that time and it almost seemed that total life was almost sucked out of her. Last I heard she passed a couple of years ago.

@Tillie - here is a link to a tribute to Lynn and Mike. They made every girdle lover proud...

They were an amazing couple! RIP 🌹 🌹 🌹

@reddevil - can you please see if Lyn's old site is around. I loved her newsletter...

I found this link to some LL pictures:

Again. Thank you so much for the link. Outstanding. Those ladies in their beautiful shapewear put icicles down my spine. Funny, years ago I worked on the largest nylon plant in Europe. Nice to see where some of the product ended. Happy days!!!!

Here's a link to a post in another thread by @Denise - Oh, it's really good, and talks about girdles:

Wow! What a nice collection of catalogs. I noticed there were LOTS of girdles in catalogs from the 1950’s-60’s and NOT SO MANY in later years. I guess pantyhose killed off girdles when they came out around 1970. I still LOVE seeing a woman wearing a nice girdle. Classy! You CAN DEFINITELY SEE the DIFFERENCE of wearing “girdle” vs. “no girdle” when a woman wears a tight outfit.

I've just posted a photo of a boy-leg girdle (see it at profile, latest images). Does anyone know how short-leg girdles came to be called "boy-leg"? I have no idea.... the name does sound a bit comical, though..

@eeetime,

Lowell Massachusetts, Niagara Falls, Florida, Tennessee, Chicago and Boston.

If you went to any of the above Lyn Locke's Week End Parties, You Will Know Me!

My very first was Lowell Massachusetts.

As I walked down the hall at my very first "Meet And Great" Friday evening get together someone said loudly,

"That's Her, That's Her It's Susan From Leg Show Magazine" I Am That Susan From Leg Show Magazine. That's the name I used back then.

Those were wonderful days! It was so sad when her husband passed away. After that Lyn closed her Web Site and every one I knew could no longer contact her.

That group of people was some of the best and beautiful people I ever knew. You bring back so many good times in my life. I think about those people all the time.

So, here I am! The lady with the legs that stunned Leg Show Magazine!

Now, I have to look up my pictures from Niagara Falls. It was Saturday morning and we were sitting on a long bench showing off our legs and stockings tops as the photographer was taking pictures. There in front of us was many Japanese men taking pictures also. It looked like no one was looking at the Falls and everyone was looking at us. 😃 We did have to purchase a special permit from the Niagara Falls Park to show our stocking tops and lingerie. Wow, those were the days!

I'm not sure when it started but I've started to really like seeing people in girdles. I think it adds an extra layer to tease someone with. There is also something classy about the older designs of them. I can't really put my finger on it.

Day to day I wear a longline support bra with a high waist, long leg, zip panty girdle as I believe in a controlled figure and the feeling of being encased

Great! I wish more women would wear girdles. To me, it makes them look so much classier. As a male, I also wear a long leg, high rise male girdle for support. I love the firmness and comfort. Yes, I said comfort. Also, after losing nearly 100 pounds years ago, I have a lot of flabby loose skin that will never go away unless I do plastic surgery. The girdle keeps that wobbly mess nicely firmed up so I look OK in regular clothing.

By the way, I have posted a Photo Album featuring beautiful women's backsides wearing their girdles. Take a look. I will be adding many more girdle photos soon. Be looking for it under IMAGES, ASS PLAY here on Zity.

When life was more normal I would wear a Spanx-like tank top and thigh length panties. Tucks in some of the “fluffiness” I have so my good dresses look better.

Regarding girdles they are just a bit too stiff and confining for my taste. Though sub liked the feel of the boning underneath his roaming hands.

Amongst my favorite ladies girdles were the crotchless ( for obvious reasons.😁). The pantie girdle that has a flap underneath & secured by a row of press studs at the front so the woman could relieve herself without removing her underclothing.

The secondary advantage was that characters like me loved to unclip them & either fondle Miss Pussy or use the “door” to have my way with her….It was HOT f*cking as you'd reach around, push the bras up and hold em by their breasts or teats while buried inside …particularly from the backside

There was also the full body corset with either the half cup bra …and /or the integrated maternity cups…tasty !

@Amethyst

Perhaps this subject merge with..>>> Girdle Memories & Experiences

Same subject, same author

@That_Australian sadly a topic here as rare as it is in r/l… any ideas that you have that will keep the topic alive, introduce it to others, is of interest to me…

I merged the two of them.

Love open bottom girdles! The more garters the better. Add stockings & heels to send this man over the top. Sadly I doubt they'll make a come back, as ladies today seem to be all about “setting it free”. Nostalgia is a wonderful town to live in.

I have been collecting images of ladies wearing traditional girdles, mainly featuring views of their backsides! In fact, about a month ago, I posted an album with many such images, including many OBGs! You can find these glorious girdled/backside images under IMAGES/AssPlay, here on Zity. Within a week, I hope to post many more of these images which I have been gleaning from the internet. Yes, unfortunately, I doubt women will ever revert to wearing true girdles like they did in the 1950’s and 60’s. Some older ladies, however, like my 77 year-old sister-in-law still do wear them today. I can not tell you how HOT she looks in a really tight skirt worn over a tight OBG!!! I know her husband and I really enjoy the views! Wow!

I’m curious: seems like a lot of you like old school foundation garments. What’s the feeling on modern ones like Spanx? Are they sexy?

Spanx are kinda ‘meh’. There's something about the lace and bones and structure of an old-school girdle or corset that continues to turn me on.
