in line 4 it should be distinguished between open bottom girdles (brief or hi waist) and pantie girdles (brief, hi waist or long legged). Hi waist girdles are very often zipped.
Rem text:
Arguably the most famous girdle, made byPlaytex, was known as the "24-hour girdle", as it could be worn comfortably for long periods.
I think this is speculative at best and POV probably, and I think it refers to the 18 hour girdle, not 24!
Agree with the anon comments above, there's lots of room for expansion (no pun intended) here. A list of manufacturers might be a good start; Types of girdle and historical styles and fashions are another obvious direction, zips, panels, step-ins, pantie girdles, control briefs, the connection to stockings vs panti-hose, suspenders, "belts", girdle cover gussies vs briefs underneath, modern fettishists - all sorts of possibilities.Andrewa16:02, 23 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
I added the literature section and some headings, and it didn't look like a stub anymore. No more stub! However, I failed to notice I wasn't signed in. So here's my sig:Wrad01:51, 31 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps this is relevant to the article.--Felix Folio Secundus (talk)10:32, 27 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
This article should not be about the word "girdle" but about the things themselevs. I recommend the article should be split into two - one for the liturgial and medieval belt, and one for the elasticized undergarment. This will allow proper categorization. If there are no objections here, I am happy to make the split myself. -PKM (talk)19:10, 2 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The last paragraph in the History section is a bit unclear and I don't quite follow it. It first states girdles were made of metal and then states they were made of white leather. Which one of that is true? I suppose they were metal as they were used to support a sword and protect the waist.
In addition, the paragraph states that girdles were richly embroidered and made of white leather, but then mentions that monks wore them. Is it true that monks wore such precious items? --TadejMmy talk16:58, 28 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
