In the Days of Old
In the days of old when Knights were Bold, all women wore corsets.Women of all ages wore them, not sure about the men!! Even large ladies had a waist and wore clothes that fitted nicely round the waist.
They were only removed at night and the right size was comfortable
They fastened with Hooks and Eyes or some still had laces,and you could not over eat as they became tight.
These days they are known as Shapewear and look like they are childens garment as they are so tiny. but stretch when worn
Where on earth does all that fat get dispered too?
It must move inside the body and be quite uncomforable We are urged to buy them otherwise we will look like Mrs Frump on social occasions.
I hate restricted clothing but my friend bought one.
She did look a size smaller but when we were out she could hardly breath and we went home to remove this contraption.
She had a job as she could not remove it herself and asked for my assistance
On the bed she lay and i tried to pull it down from her waist and as flesh escaped I could hardly tug it off, and with one final effort grabed it with both hands and the force flung me across the room.
It was so funny we did have to laugh.
How can these garments be healthy?
And as they can be returned, who wants to wear a used undergarment.
Is it better to let it all hang out?
What do you say?

Let it all hang out, l say. There’s nothing worse than being uncomfortable.l did try a ‘roll on’ years ago when l was in my twenties. I was going to some social thing and my tummy felt fat after having my first baby. My mother in law said, l should wear a ‘roll on’ and lent me hers!
I remember huffing and puffing and a scarlet face as l tugged it on. The broken finger nails and the dreadful feeling of being trapped as you endured wearing it for hours.
Then there was the sheer bliss when you peeled it off and flung it across the other side of the bedroom!
No one should have had to go through such torture!!

Once you have tried then you realise it is simply not worth beind so uncomfortable.

I also never wore them Tiffany as my waist was 23inches before marriage
Probably need one now, but who cares?
