Body Briefers and Body Girdles
Resembling a one-piece bathing suit, a body briefer all-in-one girdle provides full body support. This type of lingerie has a hook-and-eye gusset closure at the crotch and is also available in a long leg style. A full figured body girdle sculpts your figure into luscious curves as it slims your waist and flattens your tummy. Body girdles are manufactured in long leg, capri and pant lengths.
