Vintage satin girdles?

[gnostic]

I grew up in the 60s with the satin girdles imprinted in me as the quintessential sex symbols. Sigh...Any women here who still have some and enjoy wearing them?

I believe Grandma still has a girdle, but I've never asked if she actually enjoys wearing it.

Don't suppose that's who you were thinking about, though.

Gotta admit the question seems to come right out of the blue. And first post in three years. Nice of you to pipe up. Are you actually breaking a religious vow of silence?

I think its a good question.

But I suspect the time and cost of keeping the girdles in good shape will make someone having them rare.

I came of age a bit after 60's, but I too have always been attracted to those ladies wore corsets, girdles. Maybe it comes from checking out at the time those older MILF/GILFs that would appear in the old Eaton's and Sears's catalogues & flyers.

;-) Thanks Artmann. My problem is that several of my colleagues are grandmothers, but it wouldn't be kosher water-cooler conversation to ask them if they still have their girdles and might be willing to model them for me. Typically it's the women now in their late 70s and 80s who still fondly remember the panty and open-bottom girdles. But in some circles at least younger women are rediscovering them.

Picking up on jarhead's reflection, I do think that many of us at least (me for sure) get fixed on arousal signals that depend on the time and place in which we were adolescents. Those catalogues, and the daring images of girdles, etc., certainly were sites of arousal.

I also think that the women who wore them saw them as sexually-titillating, and carried themselves with that aura. They felt sexy when they wore gidles, and they reflected that sexuality with the swishes of their skirts and the turn of their faces as they looked to see who was watching. Women who feel sexually enticing typically ARE.

'nuf said to break my vow of silence.

Wish I could help you out. I have always found girdles and waist cinching very sexy. Back when I was smaller in size, I loved corsets and the girdle look. So sexy, yet so restrained. A lovely submissive look. I would love to get my hands on a vintage one. My grandmother has one I found when cleaning out her drawers after her hip surgery. She was definitely a beautiful and progressive woman like you are talking about. The structure to the girdle is interesting. I love well made, detailed, quality material pieces from the past.

They are making a come back though. In a bit more of a practical way.

Let me know if these pics work.
