Open-bottom girdles and ... powder rooms.

BettyValentine · Apr 10, 2006

Honestly, I just wound up cheating. I had a thong on underneath the all-in-one, which was the root of the problem and a terribly silly idea. I finally just had to unhook the stockings and pull up the girdle. I was careful so the stockings didn't move, and I was able to re-attach them without any real difficulty. I'm sure it is better to move the girdle aside, I just need some practice. Girdles like this are still pretty new to me.

I really do wish someone made blackfoot Cuban-heeled pantyhose. ^_^ Then I would have just worn those with the long-leg panty girdle I like so much. I guess it's just that anyone who wants a full-fashioned stocking is usually enough into authenticity to forego pantyhose for stockings. I love my stockings for going out or for dancing, but I do not love the feel of garter clips underneath me all day at work.

ok, so the open bottom girdle, you still wear underwear with that also right?...the all in one, is that another name for an open bottom or is it the type of girdle that clasps...well, you know...the reason is, I'm a fellow thong wearer..and I like some form of coverage!

An open bottom girdle is just that, open at the bottom. An all-in-one can be open bottom or panty or long leg. It just means there is a top involved. Kind of like a longline bra attached to a girdle.

I still wear panties under my girdle unless I'm wearing tap pants, and then I wear them over my girdle.

Girdles

When I wear open botton girdles I wear my panties underneith the girdle. When I need to use the facilities, I just unclip my stockings and move everything up or down accordingly. It's easy enough for me to pull the girdle back down and clip my stockings back up when I'm done. I'm not interested in holding it for hours, so the little bit of effort is worth it to me.

Leg Avenue (I know they're not tops quality-wise, but are cheap & cheerful--$7.99) make some; search amazon.com for "cuban foot pantyhose" and a nude/blackfoot pair will come up.

After weeks of record of cold wet miserable weather, I have a new appreciation for legged girdles--ah, warmth!

About the "garter clips underneath", sorry if this is dumb or you do this already, but I eventually realized the back garters are more comfortable if they are not clipped going straight down when attached to stockings, but hooked more forward, to the outside of each leg, so that they're not right under you when you're sitting down, if you know what I mean. Yes, I gave myself a blister or two before I figured this out!

I have those! I just got them in the mail yesterday! They're very nice.

Oh, good to know, thanks for the report! Think I get a pair myself for those days when I'm feeling too lazy to deal with stockings!

A well fitting open bottom girdle isn't uncomfortable at all. I wear one everyday.

I think what it basically comes down to is using the facilities will take longer and be a little less simple than what we are used to in wearing modern undergarments. I currently have the all in one girdle with hook and eye closure on the crotch. Even that takes a little manuving to make sure everything is out of the way.
I would like to eventually get one of the open bottom girdles too, as I think I could get a little more use out of it.

Actually, yes, the support can be nice.

I think we talked about this some years ago, but it bears repeating. Get some of those tap pant style panties that are still available in the old-lady catalogs (Aramark, National and the like) and wear them over the girdle, not under.

Very easy -- nothing needs to be unhooked -- and if they're all-cotton, they're super airy and comfy in the summertime, even without stockings.

For me the 'loo problem' never existed. I wear an open bottom girdle with my panties underneath and stockings every day, and for daily use I simple choose a light control girdle with 6 suspenders without hooks and/or a zipper, also called a roll-on girdle. Then, when I go to do what nature also commands me to do, I simply pull up my skirt, pull my girdle and panties down over the hips in one simple move, sit down - and afterwords, after a bit of cleaning, I simply pull girdle, panties and stockings back up, do a bit of arranging ... and that's it. Actually, for me this takes much less time than fooling around with tights (I find them totally irritating, unpleasant, ugly and not at all practical

I used to wear the Rago 1294 daily (affectionately known as The Carapace), and it wasn't hard to adjust. I just unhooked the back garters, moved things out of the way, and that was that.
