I've wanted an old-fashioned open girdle for some time as I prefer stockings to tights. It's difficult to find one under £50 so it was a delight to find this one. My new girdle is well made, fits well, looks nice and holds up stockings and hold-ups well with proper metal suspender clasps. I'm very happy with it and pleased to see it seems to have been made in the UK, by SC.
I have to wear thigh length compression stockings which I get on prescription. This girdle is the best one I have found which fits great, does not tend to roll over and has strong suspenders to hold my stockings up. I have bought 6 of these girdles so far, three a while back and three more recently.
Unfortunately, I've had to return this item as its too flimsy and would offer insufficient support for my lowe back.
Response:
If you do feel that the girdle is not firm enough. You may have it in a size too big.
If you go down a size this will make it firmer to wear and give more support.
