Woman wearing stockings, what about your garter belt ?

Question

To avoid irritations about different styles:
Do you prefer garter belts to go with decorating satin ribbons on the clasps ?
Or is it better, say more cute, sexy, practical without that funny stuff ?
Is there any benefit for such ornamentation ?
Can they really hide bumps under tight clothes ?

Answer 1

The little ribbons are really inconsequential. The big problems is ones with the straps too long. They may look good on the 5'10" Victoria secret models, but they are way too long for a 5' 5" average height girl. I like the simple satin garter belts, with a double hook bra clasp in back, and the shortest straps possible. I cut a lot of mine off and sew them back on shorter. The higher you wear the stockings, the shorter the strap needs to be, and they are less likely to show the bumps, or the stocking tops if your skirt is short. I wear over the knee pencil skirts to work everyday, with stockings and a garter belt, and have no problems. If the skirt is not lined, a simple half slip will hide the garter bumps.

Also the flat stamped metal clasps, will show much less than the larger clasps made from wire.

Answer 2

I'm a guy so no first hand expereince, but I did have a ladyfriend who wore a garter belt and regular seamless RHT (reinforced heel and toe) nylons on a daily basis, all day, every day when she went to work. Her garter belt was wide, 4 to 6" and had 6 wide straps with ribbon over the clasps. Regular nylons need support at he side as well as the front and back. Wide straps prevent cutting in on the backside when sitting. The ribbon helped to hide the bumps of the clasp in her tighter skirts. Most of the time, she wore a dress or a skirt which was fuller and thus, no bumps were visable. However, when out to dinner or somewhere, when I put my hand on her thigh, I got a thrill from feeling the garter, and she admitted to me she got a thrill knowing I was thrilled. The garter belts available at places like Victorias Secret or Fredericks of Hollywood are more ornamental than functional, and not suitable for wear all day long. They do work well in the bedroom however...

I am a pantyhose girl, but I can offer some help. If you must wear a garter, rather than wearing stay up stockings, I would opt for the simple clasp. They won't show as much under clothes. The fancy ones are more for the bedroom if you know what I mean.

Or. You could opt for pantyhose. No buldges. :-)

Only women can wear garter belts, all the rest are just girls.
