Picking a Girdle for Love Handles
Picking a Girdle for Love Handles
Getting rid of love handles through exercise takes time and while you work they are still embarrassing. The best way to get a sleek look while you get rid of those pesky side areas is to buy a girdle for love handles.
Love handles are an equal opportunity flab problem affecting both men and women and either sex can buy a girdle for their love handles. The most popular type is called a compression girdle.
What to Look for in a Girdle for Love Handles
Holding in the flabby side fat pockets requires a firm girdle that rides high on the waist. Women can buy full body girdles that include panties and bra, or end at the bra line. Having a girdle for love handles that is a one piece keeps it in place easier than those with a waistband but men commonly wear a girdle that ends just below the pecs. Man girdles are often called ‘murdles’ but they amount to the same thing that women wear to make clothes fit better and their bodies look sleeker.
Getting the Perfect Fit for Man Girdles
It is important to understand that because men and women’s bodies are shaped differently girdles made for them must be shaped differently as well. Men looking to control love handles need to seek out a girdle for love handles made specifically for their bodies.
Measure your waist and buy a girdle marked for a waist size one size smaller. The only way to compress those flabby love handles is to get a tight fit. However, you do not want to get a girdle that is smaller than one size less than your actual waist size because it will roll rather than stay put. Nothing is more embarrassing than having the waist band of your girdle for love handles roll down and bulk up under your trousers.
Measure your ‘stride’. Girdles are measured from the top seam of the crotch area to the waist band to ensure it will ride up at the proper area just below your pectoral muscles. To find your stride measure from your groin to just under your pecs, an even better way is to visit a corsetiere and try on a variety of sizes to find the perfect fit.
Getting the Perfect Fit for Women’s Girdles
Fitting a woman for a girdle for love handles simply requires measuring the waist size. Just as for men it is important to buy a girdle one size smaller than the waistline suggests for a tight fit that is not so tight it will roll down.
