My friend wears a girdle to bed and i wonder if that is safe since it is tight...She said someone told her to do that because it will flatten your tummy and make it smaller....But im wonder if that is safe or should she just wear it during the day??

She sounds like my sister. Always looking for a quick fix or whatever is the easiest way.
I say, what good is a flat tummy if the rest of the body is over weight as well. She's just going to end up getting herself a rash. Wearing a girdle is best for occasions like at a wedding or something to make your stomach "appear" to look smaller. If she wants to get rid of it all together, she needs to find the right exercise for it or the right diet.
Unless she had a baby and her stomach is a problem, odds are she may need to lose weight everywhere.

I asked the corsetiere that fit me in a girdle should a wear a girdle when going to bed, her recommendation was NO, your skin needs about 8 hours to breath without being in a girdle. It is on the other recommended to be in a girdle around 16 to 18 hours a day everyday. Being in a girdle everyday is actually very comfortable and very beneficial. You would be really surprised.

Wearing a girdle to bed will not make her waist any smaller. It may compact it for a short about of time, but it will go right back to wear it was in a matter of hours.

wearing a girdle to bed will only make u feel uncomfortable...try doing sit-ups after waking up in the morning, will surely makes more sense

Do women still wear girdles? I thought they stopped making them after my mother died. LOL
Of course it won't make your tummy flatter or smaller--it only looks like it is.
Never heard of anything so silly in my life. People will believe anything.

It will actually probably make her tummy muscles relax as they are being held in by something other than themselves. Therefore there is a possibility of her stomach appearing bigger.

Ouch I don't imaginee it to be to comfortable, I think she should stick to old fashioned sit-ups, not that im an expert but you can only imagin what it is doing to her organs.

She should try less McSuper-size meals instead.
