context_page_description: A girdle is a form-fitting foundation garment that encircles the lower torso, extending below the hips, and worn often to shape or for support. It may be worn for aesthetic or medical reasons. In sports or medical treatment, a girdle may be worn as a compression garment. This form of women's foundation wear replaced by the corset in popularity, and was in turn to a larger extent surpassed by pantyhose in the 1960s.
