    I sleep in a sports bra sometimes? Same concept just for boobs... Is there a reason to sleep in a girdle?

    Oh good grief! Thats sounds awful. I can't stand anything on me when I sleep. At the most, a T-shirt in winter if it's really cold. Usually, just what I was born in.

    I have never worn a girdle. To be honest, I didn't know they still made them.

    Worrying about how I look when I'm asleep is a mindset that is so totally alien to me, I can't even imagine a scenario where I'd want to do this.

    I'm sure it can't be good for your circulation to wear it at night while not moving around.

    when I was younger I always felt like my ribs were wider set than other girls.... so for my 14th birthday I forced my mom to get me a real old-fashioned corset (I was good friends with an antique store owner and he sold me a referbished, wale bone corset for a mere $85)
    I slept in it everynight for years until my moms dog got a hold of it... my ribs aren't as wide anymore but they could use a few more years in a corset, imo. I also have more of an hourglass shape now than I did pre-corset. I wish I could get my hands on one again

    Does the girdle reallly help?

    Just google corsets there are loads out there. Lots of retro lingerie with a modern twist as well.

    A friend of mine used to wrap her stomach in clingfilm for a few hours before a big night out, does that count??

    Never slept in one but I recently heard to rub Preparation H on your tummy and put on a tight gridle; its suppose to minimize stretch marks and help shape up your tummy while you are losing weight. I don't know if it works, I haven't tried it but a few of my MFP's live by it.

    Is it sad that I don't even know what exactly a girdle is? I mean, I've heard of them my entire life, but I'm not actually sure what they are.

    I don't care for them however, it does remind you during the day to contract your muscles, especially after pregnancy...never tried to sleep in one...hmmmm

    true! I've heard pregnant women wear it after they give birth..

    The thing about wearing them after birth is that during pregnancy your abdominal muscles are all stretched out and some women just feel like their stomach is going to fall right off of them once the baby is out. It's a really weird feeling for some people - I had it and it was very unsettling. I plan to get something like the Belly Bandit to wear after my next baby for a bit - IDK if it actually 'does' anything, but I do feel it would be more comfortable than feeling like my stomach is stretching to my knees. LOL I think in some other cultures (maybe China? not sure) it may be much more commonplace for women to wrap their torsos after a birth...
