What is a suspender belt?

A suspender belt is worn around the waist and has adjustable straps with clips that attach to the welts of stockings. In the United States it is usually called a garter belt.

How many straps should a suspender belt have?

Four straps can be suitable for occasional wear, but we recommend six for greater security and straighter seams. Extra clips provide additional points of contact, although a well-fitting six-strap belt is sufficient for most everyday stocking wear.

Can I wear a suspender belt all day?

Yes. Choose a belt that sits firmly at the waist, has properly positioned adjustable straps and uses strong clips. A deeper belt can distribute tension particularly comfortably over longer periods.

Should knickers go over or under a suspender belt?

Either is correct. Wearing knickers underneath shows the complete lingerie set, while wearing them over the belt makes everyday life considerably more convenient.

Can I attach a suspender belt to hold-up stockings?

It is possible, but ordinary stockings are preferable. Silicone hold-up bands are thicker and can be difficult for clips to grip; if you do combine them, attach the clips to the fabric above or between the silicone strips rather than forcing them over a thick band.

How tight should a suspender belt be?

It should be snug enough to remain at the waist once the stockings pull downwards, without digging in or restricting movement. If it slides towards your hips, it is too loose.
