To think this is the most bizarre item of clothing?

It popped up as an AD on my Facebook. I understand the body suit trends but surely this would result in being split entirely in two, or the worlds worst front wedgie

So far no one has mentioned its effect on piles so do let me be the one to lower the tone, again.

That PS Ling blog reads like it's been written by somebody with a very overactive and fevered imagination.

Well according to Wiki apparently they cure incontinence, so why not piles user?

A rasher of streaky bacon comes to mind (I'm not sure why?)

At least in the eighties "bodies" were like generously cut leotards with three sensible poppers.

Oh no they weren't...!

Asked out on a last-minute date while I was at work one day in the '80s I rushed out at lunchtime and bought one of those 'bodies' to evening-wear my outfit. It was a black lacy poloneck with long sleeves and looked stunning. Looked.

I spent the whole evening going back and forth to the loo - in agonies. Every time I breathed it felt like death by a thousand cuts, and those poppers may have been only three but they felt like a million. I've never sat so still in my life.

And forget the hot date. All I wanted by the end of the evening was a hot, soothing bath.

Never again.
