As those of you in the Northeast US know, we had a big snowstorm over the weekend. I have a hernia at present,and as such was not looking forward to having to shovel a lot of snow - painful and I did not want to aggravate the dang thing further. Naturally, I complained about this to my wife. Without missing a beat, she said "Why don't you try wearing your hip shapers? They look like they would give you a fair amount of support." We both laughed.
Anyway, it came time to shovel. I lasted just a few minutes - pain! So I went inside and put on my shapers. The result? MUCH better! I'm sure they were not as supportive as a truss would have been, but it allowed me to complete the job with minimal pain and without an undue amount of stress to my injury. It worked!
What a practical way to underdress. Have you ever found any alternate uses for one of your CD related garments?
