notquitedeadyet 13 Report post Posted May 27, 2005 Bought a girdle a while ago on the recomendation of some members of this board, & have been wearing roller pants because I find them cooler & more comfortable than hockey socks. I've recently picked up a shell, and would like the option of looking like a traditional hockey player at times, but I'm embarassed to say I don't know how to hold my socks up. I was never a fan of taping above the shin guards, and my garter belt seems awkwardly tight over the girdle. What do you guys do? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chadd 916 Report post Posted May 27, 2005 tuck them under the girdle or use a compression short with velcro. Mesh socks are a lot cooler than knit ones too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Neo5370 132 Report post Posted May 27, 2005 I had the same dilemma when I switched to girdles. I just wear the garter under the girdle. The snaps kinda dig in, but it's not horrible and I got used to it.Then I got a pair of WSI tights that have the velcro patches and they work pretty well.

notquitedeadyet 13 Report post Posted May 28, 2005 Thanks for the tips guys. Maybe I'll try the compression shorts, but I have a hard time fitting stuff inside the legs because they don't have the velcro release & they're pretty tight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I get it now; I didn't realize I could pull the girdle up AFTER my shins & socks were on. Thought it would be too tight, but I tried it & it seem like it will work out pretty good. Thanks.Hunter, it sounds like you've got some sort of garter built into your girdle that I don't have. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
