GIRDLE DATA TABLE
HWLLPG
This is a girdle data table I created
for me. The data is sorted in ascending order according to "Top to
Crotch" measurement. Your table
should contain only that information important to you (or potentially important to you)

Very poorly designed waistband even after installing

Size 32 is 1.5 inches taller than size 30 (?). OK for upper

Most comfortable girdle. Order 1 size smaller than
natural waist, then take waist in. Leave legs loose to
eliminate leg creep. Is warm in the summer.

Excellent after alterations. Best girdle in this list for back
support. Order size to fit hips, then install a gusset.
* Flexees are advertised as “firm” but are not nearly as firm as others, such as Playtex, Rago, Cortland.
** Leg creep: 1 is good, 5 is bad
