What should you look for when buying suspenders?

Check the number of clips: four clips is standard; six clips are more robust and keep the stockings in place better during movement.

Suspender stockings have a reinforced top — do not use regular pantyhose with a suspender belt.

Frequently Asked Questions About Suspender Stockings and Suspender Belts

How do I wear a suspender belt correctly?

Place the garter belt around your hips and fasten it. Put on the stockings and attach the garter belt clips to the top of the stockings—two clips in front and two in back per stocking. Only then should you pull the panties over the garter belt. This way, you can remove the panties without unhooking the stockings. The seam of the stocking should be straight along the back of the leg.

Can I use regular stockings with a garter belt?

Only if the stockings have a reinforced top that the clips can grip. Regular pantyhose are not suitable. Garter stockings have a specifically reinforced edge for this purpose. When purchasing, check to see if the stockings are labeled as garter stockings.

Can suspenders also be worn without panties?

Yes. A garter belt is designed to be worn with panties, but can also be worn on its own. The belt leaves the crotch exposed—which is precisely one of the reasons why the combination of a garter belt and stockings is popular in the erotic realm.

What sizes are suspender belts available in?

Most suspender belts are adjustable via hooks or Velcro within a range of approximately 60 to 90 centimeters in waist size. Some models have a fixed size. Check the size range for each product. Suspender size 36 refers to the clothing size corresponding to a waist of approximately 70 centimeters.
