Stockings and suspenders- help!

Never worn this type of underwear and I'm in need of some direction. Can you buy any stockings to use the clip on suspender belt or does it need to be designed for it?

Not to tmi but I'm not going to be wearing them for long 😘

Don't get one of those really skimpy suspender belts. Go for something a bit wider for more comfort.

He prefers the look of the smaller ones and so do I. Also I run hot and I would prefer not having multiple layers of material. But I'll keep in mind they might not be that comfy

Would check out Ann summers. I get all mine from there and they usually half buy 1 get one half price on stockings. Get the suspender belt/sets from there too so they all fit together

Is ann summers underwear decent quality now? I haven't bought anything in years and it was always garbage for larger nooks

Yeah I would get all my stuff from their or love honey but I find Ann summers washes the best and preserves the best and makes me feel best

When putting them on, I attach the sticks to the back clips then put them then clip on the front. I found that easier and more like to get them vaguely straight

Put your knickers on over the top, then you can still go to the loo!

or more importantly in OP's case keep the stockings on when the knickers come off lol

Hope his performance will be worth all the extra effort and expense. Is he going to wear something to increase your pulse rate.

😉😁😁

If you are planning going out and about in them, avoid hold ups. They decide to stop holding properly without any warning, and usually pick the most inconvenient moment. And once they've given up, there's no remedy.

We have a good sex life no complaints, this is just a bit of fun. And I'm picking he's paying 😁

I'm not. Once he sees me we'll be lucky to make it to the nearest horizontal surface!

I hope you enjoy yourselves,
For a few years now I wear stockings most of the time. A wider belt and 3 clips each side is best. last ones I bought were Hollister, but may be discontinued now.

PortobelloToad · 29/10/2024 14:10

Ahhh this takes me back! When I was seventeen we all went to see the Rocky Horror and got ourselves dolled up in stockings, suspenders and corsets. I can’t believe we walked the streets in just underwear, in Aberdeen, in autumn. With coats of course 😅

Nowadays I can’t be bothered with the faff. DH actually prefers a sheer bra, much easier and more comfy 😄

blobby10 · 29/10/2024 14:19

@MrsNotquiteAverage me too! I think I was in my 20s when I got fed up with tights not being long enough in the leg and ending up with the crotch halfway down my thighs. Suspender belt and stockings have been my friends ever since! So much cheaper and I haven't had thrush for decades.

You need to be bending over with him behind you to give him the best view. The straps taught over you bum.

ihaveliterallynoidea · 29/10/2024 17:22

Hold up - just don't use moisturiser on your legs before as they'll slide down!

If you're looking for a nice set for larger boobs, I recommend Pour Moi. They've got some gorgeous stuff and it's well designed for a larger chest.

I’m a regular stocking wearer on a day to day basis (including for work) in spring and autumn. The opaque tights still come out in midwinter though.

OP, l know you are looking for a little fun but with a good quality belt you could become a convert. There is a lot of rubbish out there. You don’t know you have a good belt on. Avoid a single hook fastening at the back, they dig in. The so called back suspenders should actually be brought to the sides when attaching to stockings, otherwise you will sit on them.

l recommend the Fantasie Bronte for comfort and style.(also available in black)

@WhyDontYouGetBackIntoBed - l’m surprised that this thread has been resurrected from October.

But to be honest, the sort of thing depicted in the link which provided is not practical and not what those who do wear stockings want; sorry! It is more suited to those into retro fashion.

This thread is almost making me miss relationships! Grin

Well yes, 9 weeks can feel a long time. I hope the OP found it as useful as my partner and I.

They’re tricky to put on with hairy hands.

BCBird · 05/05/2025 20:41

Don't make mistake I did putting one stocking on that was less sheer than the other. This was when I decided to rummage around at the last minute and pulled two out that were not a pair😂 we laughed after.
