yeh i tried belts first and no way again! who invented those dam things? musta been a guy lol Confused

holdups with silicon grips are best i find - no fuss but if you moisturise all over they might slip a bit Embarassed

Buy a suspender belt with metal clasps rather than plastic.

Lift your leg on to a bed or chair to give more slack and make sure the area of stockings your trying to attach has some slack and is not tight.

there is a newer more up to date Suspender belt - its made of lycra lace and its flexible in its way...the clips still remain pop throughs though.

I prefer hold ups as both ladies above mentioned.

Occassionally I will put on a suspender belt and stockings -

When colour coordinating with the older type

here is what i do - i put the belt on last...after clicking the pop throughs onto the stockings... then adjust the length of the straps...and then the belt is fastened together at the back when all feels ok.

I really hope this helps you babe.

i am sure you wil know this already but it reminded me of the time when i gorl got dressed up and was winding me up about what she was wearing underneath, so much so then i ordered anothe bottle cause i couldnt stand up.

when we got back they her knickers were on under every thing else!! was like the krypton factor, and after numerous bottles of wine gets more difficult.

still S&S are great

the best stockings are the stay ups since you don,t have to curse when putting them on.

I use a garter belt (you call them suspenders) with adjustable straps and metal clasps. I prefer the metal clasps because they are more secure than the plastic clasps. I always use a six-strap garter belt, even though a four-strap garter belt may be used with stretch stockings.

I start by adjusting the straps and make the back straps 2 inches longer than the front straps and 1 inch longer than the side strap. I let the garter belt hang low while I attach the straps to the welt, then I pull the garter belt into place and make minor adjustments to the strap length so there is only a slight pull on the stocking.

In the UK Pretty Polly make stockings with special clips which attach to your panties. They call them 'LINK-UP' and come as a set of panties and stockings. I've tried different stockings (fishnets, opaque) with different panties - I found the 'brief' to be the best.

figleaves.com or tightsplease.co.uk sell them.

Hope this helps.


Louise.
