Some people put their thigh pads in their girdle, while others put them inside their football pants. If you have a girdle, I recommend putting them in that. But if you don't have a girdle, just put them in your pants.
Some football pants have pads that are attached to your belt. But a girdle helps keep your pads in place, especially when you get hit hard. Think about it!
The football girdle is for the hip pads & tail bone pad. It has pockets inside them for these pads. It looks like compression shorts.
Take out all the pads and then wash the girdle just like any other clothing. When done put the pads back in the right pockets.
yeahh it is necessary, not wearing a girdle leaves your hips open to helmets and anything else, the hip or side is a very frequent spot where the football player will take a hit by a helmet, plus landing on your side after getting hit or jumping for a ball is alot less painful if you have your girdle w/hip pads on. It also helps to keep your thigh pads in place if your girdle has pad pockets in them which i have found is a lot easier.

A sports girdle is an article of clothing worn under a uniform that has pockets for pads. Girdles are worn by football players and have pockets for hip, tailbone, and thigh pads. A woman's girdle is (was?) a torture device undergarment designed to reduce the apparent size of the waist and hips. It is also an archaic name for a belt.
The girdle goes on first as it will usually have the hip and butt pads. The tights go on the outside because they're longer and have more exterior padding.

the thigh pads are on the inside of the football pants. Some people put their thigh pads in their girdle. Obviously, if you don't have a girdle, this isn't an option. In such a case, the pads would be placed inside your pants.
I have read in a book that the first football pads were leather helmets and that was it. No other pads but leather helmets.
