Joining the split crotch


Most women's girdles come with a split crotch so the ladies can go to the bathroom without having to pull down their girdles. This feature is worthless for men for three reasons:

  1. Men urinate from the front, not from the bottom.
  2. If a man is not wearing briefs under his girdle, his genitals may fall through the opening.
  3. Lengthy pubic hairs have a tendancy to get caught in the opening.

Joining the split crotch is absolutely optional, but I find that it adds just one more degree of comfort.

It is not a difficult task to join the crotch, but it does take a bit of patience. Placing the crotch under the the needle of the sewing machine is a bit of a challenge, but once the garment is maneuvered into place, it is a simple task to sew the split shut.

The Normal Split Crotch

You will find this type of split crotch on most girdles. It involves two flaps that lay one on top the other. The flaps should be sewn on both sides. After you sew the first flap, remove the girdle from the machine, flip it over, then sew the other flap. I used red thread in the left photo for visibility.

If the girdle has been worn a few times, the flaps may not want to lie flat for the sewing process. In this case, stretch the girdle over a large ball and hand baste the flaps together with a strong, visible thread. Then after the opening has been sewn shut on the sewing machine, you can remove the basting thread.

The Rago Split Crotch

Rago has a different, patented split crotch. Although there is less likelihood of genital fallout, this crotch is still a bother. In my opinion, the Rago girdle is more comfortable with the crotch sewn together.

The procedure is just a bit different than the previous. With the Rago, you need to wear the girdle then bend over and mark alongside the seam that you will sew together. The photo shows the wearer sitting on a bed so you can see the seam better, but, in reality, you should mark the girdle while standing.

After you sew the seam that you have marked, you must, once again, turn the girdle inside out and sew the opposite seam.
