I Can’t Believe It’s A Puerto Rican Girdle

Playtex is a brand of women’s products with the slogan Making Your Life Better Everyday. Playtex manufactures baby items, feminine hygiene, and lingerie.

The word girdle originally meant a belt. In modern English the term “girdle” is most commonly used for a form of women’s foundation wear that replaced the corset in popularity. Constructed of elasticized fabric and sometimes fastened with hook and eye closures, the modern girdle is designed to enhance a woman’s figure. Most open-bottom girdles extend from the waist to the upper thighs. In the 1960s, these models fell from favor and were to a great extent replaced by the panty girdle. The panty girdle resembles a tight pair of athletic shorts. Both models of girdles usually include suspender clips to hold up stockings.
