The Mirdle: A Girdle For Men

As a man I think this is ridiculous! Unless you have a condition which can't be cured by the gym and a good diet, then that's another story!

You can wear this stuff, but what about when it all comes of in front of your other half, then you feel real rubbish, huh?

Come on people, it's not that hard to exercise, and considering the numerous benefits one reaps from such activity, how can you not exercise is the real question?!

I found a pic!

Oh, my....my husband would never--not in a million trillion years! And he has belly to spare... I mean, it's lingerie!! Aye...

Given a choice, I think I'd rather be pair shaped than muffin shaped. Lets hope this term doesn't make it into our collective lexicon.

No thanks. I'll stick with running and eating a healthy diet.

I just showed that pic to my husband and he said "Gross." That about sums it up...it just LOOKS wrong.

Wohooo, between my manzier and the mirdle, I have all I need to look and feel sexy for my wife again!

Seriously, the most depressing part of that article is the guys mindset. "I'm now at that weird age where I'm starting to have a little bit of a spare tire, that midsection squish" . How sad!

Too many people feel like once you hit middle age, it's all over so stop trying to stay in shape. When did this become the prevailing opinion and how can it be reversed?

Heading into 39, I feel better and look better than I ever have and I don't plan on going back.

My main question here is, what are these men wearing that would require shapewear? The logic for women is that sometimes, we wear close-fitting stuff in thin fabrics where if you don't wear some form of shapewear (I'm talking the non-compression, just smooths you over stuff like the original Spanx, which was made out of something like the reinforced top of non-control top pantyhose; now it is all like control top, squeezing you in) you'll end up with panty lines in your butt, sometimes on your hips and your waist too, so it makes sense. But men don't wear a knit fabric close to their butts like we do, they wear heavier fabrics that are not cut as tight. So are these guys wearing tight clothes like 70s mens fashion, that would require a mirdle?

Of course, the compression kinds are supposed to make you look thinner, but you only look strangely immobilized. There is no place for your fat to go, if it squeezes it in, you can't move. Being smoothed over without visible rolls makes you look better, but it is a fine line between smoother and "in a sausage casing".

i think this is insane!
its only fair that men exercise their butts off, too!

we women go through hell everyday with diet, exercise and the rest, why?
as much as we like to say that it's for our well being, 90% of the time, we do it for guys, not only to impress them, but for them to come back and say we're good looking!

so, it should only be fair between the sexes and men, too should get out there and get their testosterone fueled bodies going!

peace out..

I suppose if a guy was really out of weight and wanted to fit into some expensive suit he had bought years ago maybe that would be an option?

A male girdle is nothing new. I've seen them in catalogs since I was a child. Corsets were also worn by men a long time ago.

A male girdle/shapewear is a great idea. It's not a substitute for diet and exercise but an option to help a man look better and feel better about himself until diet and exercise works.

Also, it's very difficult for fat on some areas of the body to be burned, such as waist flanks which looks more prominent on men than on women. Men should have the viable option to wear shapewear, such as women have, without being ridiculed by "flee"s.

Ok folks. Take into account that the photo is of a male model. One who should not wear such a garment. There are those, like me, who have lost over 100 pounds of fat and are looking to continue loosing more while feeling the freedom to take part in more vigorous physical activity such as running. Realize now that running might be not only uncomfortable, but painful after loosing that much weight because of extra skin. This is why a mens girdle is a requirment in some cases. It allows more vigorous activity without discomfort and embarasement from all the loose skin waving at people at the finish line.

I will never put on a girdle. I have a huge belly, and I'm proud of it, so I just let it all hang out!

I think think is marketing genius. We'll see if it catches on. The problem is that people keep getting bigger.

But if a guy is like 15-20 pounds overweight, I bet the mirdle would make him look a lot better in a suit.

Oh FFS I go to the gym... I eat reasonably healthily... It's just that us men, as we get older tend to spread a little... I want to look attractive for my wife, and yes she knows what I look like in the altogether, but if we go out for a meal or something I want her to feel like she's got the best looking guy in the room with her... A bit of help never hurt any one, why did we spend so much on anti spot cream as teens? And if you don't want to wear one.. well why the hell are you looking it up on the internet? Us men need to have our own sexual emancipation, it's ok to want to look good, you don't need to try to hump everything that has a pulse, and who the hell has a right to sit in judgement of you as human being because of what you wear???

I think it's a great idea.

If a guy wants to wear one, who's business is it but his own? I don't tell other women they can't wear a wonderbra. This isn't different in my opinion.

Another aspect is like the case of my husband. He has lost almost 200 pounds and worked very hard at it. He exercises and eats very well. Of course losing that much weight there is a loose skin issue and this garment seems like it would help him. He doesn't want to have surgery to remove the skin, yet he wants to be able to enjoy his reward for losing all that weight- to look and feel good physically.

As far as when he takes it off? Trust me I'm more interested in his other attributes than the fact that he isn't a 'natural' 28.

It's just clothing people. So what if he wears it. If it's not your thing, just keep it moving. This is almost like telling a man he should wear briefs instead of boxers because they support better, but some men prefer boxers. I am really trying to see what the problem is with a person trying to feel good about himself for a night. Perhaps the men know they need to lose weight, have been working out, but have an engagement coming up and want to look good for it. Granted there are some who will use it daily to give the impression that this is how they always look, but you shouldn't shun all men who wear one. No one is perfect, and if we can remeber that, everyone would be much happier.

I have one and it makes me feel real good

I used to wear a little x ladies girdle which was superb.

I would like information on buying this product

I think a person should make up their own mind about what they think is best for them and not listen to those who think something is wrong for them and everyone else. make your own decision but don't criticize someone else because it's not for you. I personally don't see nothing wrong with them. If it makes you feel good and you are not hurting no one, what is the problem?

I wear a girdle almost every day, and I love the way I look. It feels funny when I don't wear it, in fact. Too many guys are afraid to try it. Once you get past the initial trial, you'll be amazed at how great it is.
