Girdles and the Post-Baby Flabby Stomach

While we're on the subject of girdles, I just read at The Mirror about another celebrity who says one of the secrets of looking fabulous just four months after giving birth is her expensive girdle from Agent Provocateur.

Nancy Sorrell says, "I wore them every day except when they were in the wash. They basically just pull everything in. I'm not sure if they worked or if I would have lost the weight anyway, but the whole area has tightened up."

Agent Provocateur has this to say about post-pregnancy flab and their $120 girdle solution; "After birth a vacuum in the womb is created. This waist cinching brief features a band of super elastic applying pressure to the lower ribcage without being constricting. The brief flatters the waistline and has sexy detachable suspender straps."

Mind you, Sorrell, 32, who is 5'9 (and gained only 28 pounds while pregnant with twins, and is now a British dress size 10), has worked very hard to get back in shape. It's not the girdle she puts on every day. She also walks a mile a day with her stroller, goes swimming twice a week, and lays on a Swiss Ball and does sixty sit-ups daily. (Phew, makes me tired just visualizing all this.) Here's the likely girdle she wears from Agent Provaceteur (bottom photo) and a second post-natal girdle for about half the price that's very popular on Amazon right now.
