Back when I started femulating in the early 1960s, most women wore girdles.
“Girdles were considered essential garments by many women from approximately 1910 to the late 1960s. They created a rigid, controlled figure that was seen as eminently respectable and modest. They were also crucial to the couturier Christian Dior’s 1947 New Look, which featured a voluminous skirt and a narrow, nipped-in waistline, also known as a wasp waist.

“Later in the 1960s, the girdle was generally supplanted by pantyhose. Pantyhose replaced girdles for many women who had used the girdle essentially as a means of holding up sheer nylon stockings. Those who want more control purchase “control top” pantyhose. Many women forgo wearing girdles, stockings, and pantyhose entirely.” (source Wikipedia)
I know for a fact that all the females in my household wore girdles when I began femulating and I wore a girdle, too (usually my mother’s). It held up my stockings, held in my belly, and helped give me a feminine figure.
When panythose replaced stockings, I continued to wear a girdle and still wear one today, although today, they call it “shapewear.” In addition to shaping my body, it provided another function that became very important when my femulation took me out of the house: a girdle provided an effective way of hiding my private parts. It was more effective and more comfortable than wearing a gaff.
Today, few women wear girdles. I know for a fact that none of the females in my household wear girdles or shapewear, but I still do. My guess is that a lot of other “girls” who started femulating back when I started still include a girdle or two in their wardrobe.
Long live the Sisterhood of the Panty Girdle!
