I've been having all sorts of troubles with getting a good fit due to my size, 5'11" and small waist (30ish, mabe 31) so medium pants always run huge on me in the waist and smalls are great waist fit but way too short. So based on some recommendations on this board, I picked up a small reebok 9k girdle (waist should fit and told thigh guards can be adjusted), and was told to try a medium shell. I can not seem to find a plain black 9k shell.
I do have a pair of plain black reebok mhp520s in medium. Can I take them apart, remove the thigh guards, and use the bottoms for a shell? Are there any tricks, or anything I need to know to make this work? I know regular girdles have some kind of attachment velcro tabs and kidney guards, but from the pictures of the girdle I should be pretty well protected I think. On the bottoms, it looks like the thigh guards can be removed easily, and I could possibly cut the back of the leg padding out if needed, or leave it in. I am not sure what a shell covers as far as padding.
So any advice, help, tips, tricks, etc would be appreciated. Thanks as always!

This should work just fine. Im pretty sure people do this all the time. You have the perfect lowers for this because the thigh pads are removable and it takes like 2 seconds. I dont see any reason to remove the pads on the back legs, they shouldnt get in the way.
As far as separating the lowers from the uppers, Im not sure how much you know about two piece pants but you simply unbutton the pieces from eachother at the belt. The lowers have a belt already so just tighten that puppy up around the girdle and you should be set to go. I dont think the velcro tabs should cause you any trouble.

The MHP7000s are decent for girdles

The 7000s I own dont have removable thigh pads though. Unless he wants to cut them out, but why ruin a pair of pants

They are size small
But I think I will probably be moving these.
Even though it says small, they feel almost like Mediums

I'll follow up as soon as I can with some pictures and details. I already have the shell made and ready to go but don't have the girdle yet it hasn't arrived. I'm really hoping though as nothing else I've tried has seemed to fit.
as I said in the past some of my issues have been being way too tall for the small pants, but much too skinny for the medium pants. I've tried to do retail medium pants and someone actually asked me if I was wearing goalie pants they look so huge on me, and someone said the measurements for the 9k girdle medium was 33 to 36 on the waist... so I have no choice but to try small with a medium bottom of a 2 piece with the thigh padding removed. Details to follow soon.
