They still sell those type girdles/"Support garments", don't they?

Yup, at the underwear department of large stores, and in places that deal with the "more mature" woman. They're not cheap, but if you've ever sprained your ankle at the same time as you gave up smoking and you have a fitted bridesmaid's dress to fit into, they'll do wonders.

Um... so I've heard.

My Mom used to work for a military transport company back in the late 1940's & she said the only good reason to wear these was that the guys on the flights couldn't pinch her butt!

Glory be, panties that will stay up without stays. The magical things science is doing for us, I swan.

I never can resist a good Magic Oval Crotch!

I misread that as "magic ORAL crotch" and was like, woah, now...

I would rather wear a fully boned corset than one of those..... Yuk

I would totally wear that Lady Marlene get-up.

My own magic oval crotch itches just thinking about being stuck in one of those synthetic horrors all day. Ugh.

Of course it won't ride up - where the hell would it go?!
