Rago High Waist Open Bottom Girdle with Zipper 1294

An exquisitely designed and manufactured open bottom girdle for me, as I do not wear tights. I use a 40 denier stocking and works so well with these garters. Easy to slide into and nearly always wear with a longline brassiere. Lots of boning! But wha JP from northeast Denver

People should be aware that a girdle, especially of 'industrial' strength like this , needs training in before one can wear it and feel OK every day. It's important too not to let the suspender (garter) be shown as can happen accidentally in a short dress. After some time, though, it becomes an essential to hold you up and support you. I can't do without mine now as I get older. Gilliane from Kilkenny City

The Rago line of control garments is the best. I have ordered several of this 1294 girdle. The fit is perfect on me, and I love the garter clips for hosiery. Aimee from Arkansas

I prefer skirts, fitted suits, form fitting dresses in earth tones and subdued colors . This is my "go to" girdle as i really like the degree of control i like and need..as it "fixes" all my figure issues: flabby lower tummy, muffin top and saggy bum. I always wear a good longline bra for a totally smooth appearance to complete my look. RJ from Chicago

Pretty darn comfortable and not hot, all things considered. (I generally despise tight and hot clothing.) Easy to put on. Doesn't move or shift once it's on. Holds everything in very well. Doesn't redistribute the flesh, just holds it in. Really holds in my very, very protruding, post-birth belly. I'm a bit short in the torso, and I think that's why the top tends to stick forward a bit (it's probably expecting more torso to go on), but there's not much I can do about that. (If I suck in slightly, the slightly protruding top area goes away. Maybe that's a comment on just how far my belly sticks out? Heh. I imagine with normal women whose bellies don't stick out as much as mine, this will not be an issue.) Love the idea of garter straps, but my hands seem to snag every nylon I touch, so I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to use the straps. May need to cut them off, sadly. I'm a loose T-shirt and baggy jeans kind of gal, but sometimes I want to look nice in a pencil skirt. This helps me do that. Believe it or not, a skirt that fit me now looks baggy on me if I wear the Rago underneath. This is real foundation wear with real structure, not sausage casing. Wearing this is considerably less stressful than sucking in one's belly all the time. It accentuates my waist and enhances my boobs. I bought this open bottom piece because I wanted something to wear specifically w/dresses and skirts, *and* I want to be able to use the restroom w/o having to do so through some crazy fabric slit. Plus, I figure having more air circulation down there is healthier. Beauty, yes, but health and personal hygiene come first! Michaela from Los Angeles, CA

Anybody wearing a girdle like this is only fit to be adored! You have to have the right mentality. You have to feel the need to be gripped and held firmly all the time. And in beautifully lace and shiny satin. You need to like being held in boning and panels and lucky to have your legs encased in sheer nylon. This girdle represents a life of sheer luxury.

Bought this girdle for more control as I changed to support stockings. I have worn Rago open girdles for many years. 3x has never been a problem with fit - wearing a 3x with 4 garters is perfect. Jill from New York State

This is a fine girdle that provides me with support and the ability to hold hosiery up. The booming and zipper are so well designed. The front panel lace chevron design reminds me of a girdle that I wore daily for years back into the 60's. A pleasure to wear with a long line brassiere. JPM from Denver, Colorado
