The panty girdle isn’t as popular as it was in the ’60s. At the time, a more compact panty girdle was designed to keep up with the shorter skirt trend of the era. Of course, even with their popularity, panty girdles were somewhat viewed with horror. The ones that were in a Stars-and-Stripes design were especially criticized, most notably by the Daughters of the American Revolution. This group was outraged by it, which eventually led to manufacturers withdrawing the product.
