Upper-leg-encircling compressor, e.g., thigh reducers:

SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:

106, for leg-encircling straps which function only as hold-downs or anchoring means to prevent the supporter "riding up" on the body of the wearer; in general, these straps are characterized by their strandlike or ropelike form, also by the lack of means to tension the strap around the leg for the purpose of compressing or supporting the flesh.
