A Time reporter and a regular dad tried on some man girdles and let his daughters judge how effective they were. The mirdle by Equmen brought his 104-centimeter waist down to 99. The mirdle by Ript Fusion also took five centimeters off. As someone who was raised to know how to shop for the perfect girdle, I'm not surprised. They do work, though I can't promise that you'll be able to breathe (lol.)
