The first thing I bought in person was a girdle at a Sears store when I was about 20. I walked up and down the main pathway going through the "Intimates" department until there appeared to be no one in the firm foundations area, so in I went. As I fumbled through the display rack of Sear's brand, boxed, long leg panty girdles trying to locate the largest size, a sales lady came up and asked if she could help me....I managed to blurt out a "No thank you, I just found what I was looking for." and grabbed the biggest girdle I had located up to that point. I felt like my face was on fire and glowing bright red, as I placed the cash in her hand at the counter and thanked her. My heart was pounding as I headed for the door. When I got home I managed to proudly SQUEEZE into my new purchase, If I only had a few more minutes of browsing I am sure I would have found a better fitting one.
