Yes, I finally received them about a week ago - took a looong time to get them.
I ordered two each of size 30 and 32.
Sadly, the size 32 was sold out, so only got the 2 of the size 30.
These were sold as the old "Subtract" type girdle, but sadly, it has been modernized.
I have a vintage subtract bodybriefer (80's).
The modern has thinner, lighter powernet than the vintage.
Both claim 20% spandex, but the modern will contain less quantity of spandex, since fabric is lighter.
Also, briefer has 2 ply powernet all around, with a 3rd ply teardrop in the tummy area.
The girdle only has 2 ply in front plus the 3rd ply panel, the backside is single ply. :(((
The girdle has a 2 inch cuffed elastic waistband, but modernized using spandex rather than rubber,
so the waistband is not as powerful as vintage elastic, feels thinner / lighter too.

But amazingly, the size 30 was cut more vintage than modern.
The new fabric did not stretch easily, and I had quite the struggle getting it over my size 34 frame.
Once on, it was very satisfyingly tight in the butt, legs and crotch.
It will be a great low end booster for the 6210, which, as I have said before, is too big at the bottom.

So while the girdle was modernized, it still felt more like a vintage girdle, except for the waistband.
The girdle is not high rise, but that is ok, since the 6210 has plenty of power up top.
All in all, I'm quite satisfied with the purchase, and glad I got the 30's rather than the 32's.

Cheers!
JP
