Tips on Wearing Thigh Length Stockings

Thigh high stockings carry a great deal of appeal. Here is some advice, on how to pick the thigh high stocking that best suit you.

The garter belt. Thigh high stockings are intriguing because of the way in which they are held up. There is more than one way to hold up thigh highs: garter belts are one. While garter belts are now a sign of sexual excess and seduction, they started out as purely useful - for holding up thigh high stockings. They have either four or six straps with metal clasps at their ends to clip to the top of your stockings. Use a garter belt with six straps. That will try to hold the stocking more tightly if you are wearing seamed stockings, thus creating a straight line with the back seam. Briefs are normally worn on top of the garter belt just for convenience.

There have been many that have seen the garter throwing takes place at weddings. It it is not a garter belt. This contraption is meant to be slipped on top of the stocking at the thigh to hold it to the leg. Do you know why blue garters are worn at weddings? It is due to the old tradition of "Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue..." and so has led to the commonly blue garters at weddings. There is a lack of modesty as the garter is removed then thrown at drunken single men...but hey, you gotta love tradition!

Elastics. It is common for the thigh high style stocking to have an inner seam of silicone along the top (typically covered by the lace) to keep them hugging the leg. The snugness of fit of these elastic bands depends in part upon the shape of your leg. These bands can sometimes become uncomfortable and damp from sweat. The hold may be tight, but people with sensitive skin will feel some irritation.
