Wear Your Stays Girls:
The benefits have been forgotten, but they are worth it, if you could only find some suitable for you now. Does anyone still make them? As some of you may have noted I have a hernia and should wear a support belt. I wore it for a couple of days, but I can’t fasten it myself, because it has to be very tight to be of any use, and only one nurse can fasten it. However: While it was on it was very comfortable. My waist line looked less, but the best part was the lack of any need to over eat. Smaller amounts of food were sufficient, which they are not without it. I’m not kidding Girls, and boys even, stays could easily replace surgery if used properly. My Umbilical Support belt is wide but could be wider for stays. If a suitable means of self fastening were possible it would be a wonderful thing. Laces are a No-No. You would only believe it by trying it. Not my belt. (Search Hernia support on line, but stays? I’ve no idea) Note: Perhaps the benefits were never really properly realised? Some of us cannot walk. Myself for health reasons just now.
