Remember the rubber Platex girdles of the 50's? There was a girdle that held ya in. I thought they were comfortable but they were warm to wear. I loved the smell of the rubber which later lead me to explore kinky latex wear but, that's another story. I really regret all of the purges because most of that stuff is no longer produced. Feelin my age! B)

DANG

Me too - feeling my age reading this! Much of my earlier crossdressing started with 'the girdle' because at my young age, I thought it would make me have a figure like a woman! I mean, it did on my mother, why not me?

You forget - garder tabs on those girdles - women still used hoisery - not pantyhose! Took some figuring out but dang! Sure made you feel female - all that fancy tying down and 'binding,' no wonder it was possible to 'fetish-out' on girdles alone!

But I don't miss that. I switched to elastic bandages - or those exercise belts - to get the waistline. I had boyish hips (being in a boy body maybe? didn't help) and besides, unless you had access to the old girdles, the newer ones were panty-type. Hard to fit the goods into - hard to pee.

So then. the long-line bodyshaper bras. Padding was almost unnecessary because - instant breasts from the push-up cups and all! Women must have hated them - as a female I do now - because you could turn or twist your body but the bra stayed facing straight ahead! YIKES. Madonna tried to get the style going again in the 90's -no go...

And purging? Yup - all that thrown out! But my regret in purging? The sexy shoes I have never been able to replace!

Girdles? - back in a new form - Spanxwear!

OMG, do I!

When I was real young ( 9-11) I lived in Georgia and I was able to cobb one from my then, mom....

I hid that dang thing away for almost two years...I LOVED it!

But, alas.....

I was moved up north to live with relatives in Indiana and sent by myself on Greyhound...

I had no way to retrieve my beloved girdle before I was shipped out....snif'....snif'...

urp, you mean I shouldn't be wearing those anymore? Dang (as DJ would say). And getting those back seams to be perfectly straight, <sigh>.

Oh, I remember the girdles, (and all-in-ones) all too well. Hot, bulky, but, there was a certain feel. The ones I tried on had the six garter tabs, now most only have 4. Does save about a minute when putting them on.

ps and pantyhose seems to be losing ground today, too!

I wear an all-in-one now and I absolutely love it. Full coverage for my breast forms, great tummy panels that make me look slimmer (and thus it makes my chest look larger). I had to give it a test run for a few days at home to be comfortable doing the hook-and-eye closure quickly and effectively but now it's my foundation garment of choice. I don't leave home without it! I can even effectively go to the bathroom at public restrooms now with it on.

Anyway, I got mine at JC Penney. It's the same one my mom wears which would seem creepy but she swears by them and has been wearing them for years so I knew it was a good one and now I see why.

I'm with you Lizzie,

It's maybe easier here in colder climates - lots of layers aren't a problem. I just wish I could find them for my short waist - they're all a bit long for me. But I do like the tummy tucking and other tucking that it accomplishes.

      Has anyone been a victim of online defemination? and what to do about it?
    • Vidanjali
      Yes, this is very therapeutic. You are able to see different aspects of your own personality. There is the part which has survived life thus far through decision making and lots of trial and error. That part of you is your wise and capable parent. When you feel strongly identified with the scared child in you, you can turn to the wise parent part of you whom you trust to guide you. You have faith and trust in that part of you necessarily because it has gotten you this far. Naturally, we all have room for improvement and advancement, but you can only start where you are and try to do your best with what you have to work with and deal with. But by adopting this attitude, you see that wise parental part of you become stronger, wiser, and more steadfast and skillful. Then the child in you increasingly becomes more trusting and carefree.

      You want to hear coincidence? I just posted that and my neighbor just texted me and said she has been up early because there were Northen Lights outside. Then 2 seconds later I get an extreme weather alert. “We are experiencing Extreme Geomagnetic conditions observed and continued severe geomagnetic storms expected to continue through the weekend”.

      No you aren't!!  There were reports from Texas, Arkansas and the Carolinas of spectacular shows last night.  This is a once-in-a-lifetime event, the best show since 1938, someone said.  Tonight is supposed to be just as good.  (OK, maybe a twice-in-a-lifetime event.  )
    • Susan R
      @KathyLauren That’s absolutely beautiful. Love those colors! That would be so nice to see some time. I’m too far South to ever see these spectacular events.   Very Nice, Susan R🌷

      Welcome @AmandaJoy, It’s a pleasure to have you join us here on the forum. It does seem much easier to suppress this understanding of ourselves until one day, it’s not. It all suddenly hits you like a ton of bricks. Those puzzle pieces all suddenly seem to fit and there’s no going back. Like you, I waited until I felt there was no other choice. It was now or never! Never having the opportunity to be myself in this world was not going to be an option.   Words of wisdom there. Many of us try to make up for lost time or try to get results faster than a cis puberty but it just doesn’t work that way as you’ve learned. It’s difficult waiting for the changes but the good news…eventually you’ll experience many of them and the joys that come with those changes are wonderful and exciting. But like most good things, they take time. And sometimes it’s helpful things don’t happen overnight. Especially if you have others that need time to adjust to your physical and emotional changes.   I wish you the best on your continuing journey wherever that may lead you. I think you’ll enjoy this forum as there are great resources, advice, and people here that make it what it is. Hope to see you around.   Warmest Regards, Susan R🌷

      I enjoyed my Saturday moka-pot coffee this morning while doing something I love: processing astronomy images.  I didn't stay up late to watch last night's spectacular aurora, but my all-sky camera did, taking pictures every minute.

      Good morning.    I did not try to see the sky last night.  We watched tv and went to bed.  Cooler but dry this weekend it was 58 when I got up this morning.  Sorry Kymmie, no chance of white rain here. Although there is always a chance of hail.  Fortunately, the storms stayed west of us and dropped their golf all size hail elsewhere.  I do feel bad for the people that got the hail as that was in a poorer part of the state.   Even the county we live in is quite large and has socioeconomic issues that range from wealth to below poverty.  Very few good middle class jobs and a number of them are closing their doors every year.  Most workers are some way connected to hospitality and travel.  We are beginning to see some internet based jobs as the latest under sea internet cables to South America and other places are coming ashore here.  But they are not connected yet.  We have a rail line but it stops at the innercoastal waterway. The bridge was damage in a hurricane and there just wasn’t enough traffic to justify Corman spending the money to fix it.  So it is permanently in the raised position.     @awkward-yet-sweet I’m glad you got to spend some downtime away from the every day at home.  I can’t imagine how a household that large operates.  And I do think you deserve an upgraded commercial kitchen.  But,  you wouldn’t all be able to live together if you spent money buying new to you things instead of fixing the old with so much talent at home.   Well, I hope to spend time creating the outline of my paper today.  I’m sure I will have to refine it a couple of times before it is completed.   enjoy your weekend    willow
