Do any of you wear these outside the bedroom? They always make me feel self conscious and seem to need constant adjusting.

When you get used to them they are no more fiddly, than, say, putting on a bra. It takes secondswhen l come out of the shower and, let’s face it, you can get tights in a twist when getting dressed.

@GraceMarks - l think you would be OK in a large or extra large and with a good belt they stop put!

As for them being depicted over knix, I think that is so you can see the whole belt when buying. We were skirts and trousers too, but they are not shown in underwear pictures. Grin

Yes - bloody hate tights, they make my nether regions sweat, I much prefer suspenders or just hold up stockings.

Tip though - knickers over suspenders makes life much easier!

@TowerOfJoy. I wear stockings most days; I hated tights at school and never trusted hold ups. Since I found 6 strap suspender belts, I’ve never looked back. They’re so much more comfortable, hygienic and practical than tights, especially once you get used to fastening them. A good deep belt or roll on with 6 or more straps and metal clasps will definitely be comfortable enough to wear all day. Being 35, I know I’m a bit of a rarity but I can’t see me ever switching back to tights.
