Girdle/Waist Cincher
What stores carry plus size girdles or waist cinchers? I have a girdle from Wal-Mart that is 3x but I can't stand it because it rolls down when I sit. I'm more interested in a waist cincher now. I want to try and hide my upper belly. Everytime I go to Wal-Mart now, they never have either over XL. Fashion Bug doesn't have anything and I really have no clue what other stores would have plus size. Thanks.
Try Lady Grace catalog. Beware, though, on the sizing I looked at the size chart for one the other day (just for kicks - I don't wear them) and for my measurement and weight (ca. 190) they pegged me as a 6X which is crazy.
I am always afraid something like that will damage internal organs.
You would have to do some dramatic tightlacing (and have a very high pain tolerance) to actually damage your internal organs. You could pinch a nerve or have other muscle discomfort though from an actual too-tight corset. (There's a pretty well written FAQ on it here: http://www.waspcreations.com/faq.htm - this relates to 'corseting' and not wearing a girdle, which are usually not boned, not laced as tight and are more 'forgiving'.)
