I get many letters from readers asking for photographs of the Playtex rubber panty-girdle, complete with airholes in the crotch. I believe Irving Klaw and his sister Paula were responsible for this craze. I remember a black and white 4x5 contact print they made in the middle 40s and 50s, and I too pine for airholes in the crotch. But, rubber is extremely vulnerable to aging and very very few exist today. I found this 30-plus-year-old garment in a thrift store. Katherine holds it up to admire it because we both know it will die in this session (#1). And it does.... Katherine has to powder herself with baby powder and carefully stretch the rubber over her golden thighs (#2) as she pulls it up (#3) over her buttocks (#4) and adjusts it around her waist (#5). She tugs the girdle very high, stretching the ventilation holes tightly into her crotch (#6). I ask her to sit and open her legs so that the airholes are even more visible and suggest she smooth the rubber material over her crotch (#7) and she does (#8).
