About Zona: The Girdle Zone
Zona is Latin for "girdle," and The Girdle Zone is a place for men and women to share thoughts and exchange information about this much- maligned, yet ever-fascinating, garment.
Adore them or abhor them, girdles were once an important part of womens' lives. The omnipresence of this mysterious garment had a profound impact on many young men, as well. Today, there is evidence that girdles are well on the way to reclaiming a place in the wardrobe. What does it all mean?
Zona was the first web page devoted to discussion of the girdle, and since its establishment in October 1996, this page has welcomed thousands of visitors, demonstrating the depth of interest that exists about this topic. E-Mail messages have arrived from all over the world: South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, France, Germany, Denmark, Norway, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands, Slovenia, England, Canada, the U.S., and others.
On the pages that follow, you will find serious articles on the pros and cons of shape-molding garments, light-hearted looks on the custom of girdling, deeply moving personal memoirs of fascination and frustration. There are tasteful images to examine, information on how and where to buy girdles, and a wealth of miscellaneous trivia on the topic.
The Girdle Zone is an extensive web site, with a great deal of material on numerous aspects of the topic. If this is your first visit to Zona, the Where to Start page will help you begin your exploration. If you are a regular reader, you can find your way around most easily using the navigation bar at the left side of most pages.
Finally, a few words on what Zona is not: The Girdle Zone is a site for serious discussion on the far-reaching consequences of an item of dress. Though matters of sexuality are discussed, those looking for pornography should turn elsewhere.
Cordially,
