How To Attach Stockings To Suspenders
Wearing stockings and supporting them with suspenders or garter belts should not be a tough task anymore. To rock in your suspended stockings, you only need to understand where and why you are wearing them.
Suspenders, also known as garter belts were invented in the year 1920 to hold stockings firm in position so that they don't slide off. In the modern world, suspenders are used as a mode of fashion adding attractiveness to women's undergarments. Putting on suspenders is not considered a tough task. Suspenders can be worn daily for a long time although the lingerie is quite finicky. For easy wearing of the suspenders, you must first choose them for the right purpose. When you are wearing suspenders and stockings for the first time, it might be a tough task to know where to begin from. However, it takes a shorter time to know how to attach and wear suspenders and stockings.

First, you should wear a pretty good suspender. A suspender consisting of about six metallic clasps is recommended if you will wear it for the whole day. This type of suspender holds your stocking in position in a more secure way. Contrary, when you decide to wear stockings and suspenders just for a short time, for instance during a night out, a four metallic clasp suspender is efficient.
Always make sure that the suspender rests on your waist and not the hips. This will give firm support hence it will not slip. To prevent snagging of the stocking, use hosiery gloves when putting it on.
Put on Suspenders First
Some suspenders may slip on. Contrary, most suspenders contain clasp, and hook systems are what is widely known as Velcro. Wrap the suspender around your waistline. A lot of suspenders have their closure at the backside. Adjust this closure until when you will feel comfortable. Below are the tips;
Wrap the Suspender Around the Waist
Using the hooks, slide the suspender at the back and attach it to the clasps. You should go for the clasp line that feels a lot comfier according to you. This step is similar to the way you attach your bra. In case you find attaching the suspender at the back troublesome, hook it at the front then move it around to its required position at the back.
Put on The Pantyhose
Take your stockings from wherever you've kept them and then put them on. Adjust the straps until you meet the frontline of the hose. You may want your stocking to be slightly at different heights. The side facing the back should be longer which will give you room when bending over. When you are on the side straps, you should make sure they are slightly shorter at least by an inch. This will also make you bend over easily. Additionally, it will be helpful especially when you sit down.
Attach Clasps of The Suspenders to Your Stockings
Suspender claps comprise rubber in each one of them and a metal piece fitting over the same. For you to attach the suspender claps to your stockings, put the rubber clip on the lowermost part of your stocking's edge. It should be reaching straight to the stocking unless your garment was sewn at some angle. Furthermore, it should be falling slightly for about an inch passing the stocking's top line. You should check on the metal clasp and slide it on top of the nub. Pull the nub so that it slides into its position. Do the same for the remaining clasps around the suspender. Always remember to sit down before you attach the suspenders. This will enable you to attach the suspender to the stockings at a natural height.
When fastening the clasps, remember to push the rubber nub from the back so that you will be able to see it sticking out from the frontline. To avoid the risk of tearing holes in your stocking, gently push the nub and do not use a large amount of force. Each of the clasps' top-end contains a wider and narrower end around the bottom. Begin with the wider area, slide it above the nub and pull It upwards so that the narrow end surrounds the nub hence keeping it in place.
Remember to be careful when dealing with plastic clasps. This is because when you apply great pressure to the plastic clasp, it may snap or break into two hence rendering the suspender useless.
Readjust the Suspender Until Needed Positions Are Reached
Once your stockings are settled, you will need to adjust them to be sure that they are firm and at the right height. Additionally, you might also be required to keep on adjusting your suspensers throughout the day. A simpler way to do this is to frequently check on them in the bathroom.
Always make sure that you sit and stand for testing your suspender if it is in the correct position and how well it fits you without struggling. You should avoid increased tension while sited because the suspenders might pop off. Contrary to this, when standing up, the stockings should mostly be taut hence you will be avoiding pooling at the ankles. Keep loosening and tightening the straps as needed.
Lastly Put on The Underwear
The suspenders should always run to the outside of the undergarments. This is in case you will need to use the bathroom more easily. Before the suspender, put on the panty. This way you will have to take off the suspender to pull your underwear down for you to use the bathroom. To avoid these complications put the straps over the underwear. The suspender belts are only worn for a while so it's best for you to wear the underwear first. However, when planning to wear the suspender all day long, you might decide to put the panty on as the last one. Additionally, according to your preference.
Takeaway
Do not try to wear the stay-ups. These are silicone stockings. They contain a thick-up band hence considered tough to attach the suspenders. Once you have practiced how to attach suspenders to stockings several times, you will find it an easier task as time flows. You will always feel a lot comfier when wearing them.
