As I get older, I need one a LOT more than I did at 25. Or younger. In those days I'd go braless and looked quite good.

I still wear jeans and other slacks with a real waistband.

Blame that on the waist. Mine somehow left years ago. Paper Roses Jul 2014 #9

The reason I don't like jeans is that the fabric restricts movement because it's so thick. raccoon Jul 2014 #10

My waist disappeared a few years ago. RebelOne Jul 2014 #14
