Garter Belt

Originally known for its use in traditional Western weddings and proms in the 60s and 70s, the garter belt has evolved greatly over the decades. Let’s explore some of the most common FAQs about garter lingerie.

What Does AGarter Belt Do?
Garter belts were originally designed to hold up pantyhose before they were made of full-length stretchy fabrics and stayed up on their own. Today’s garters are typically made of satin and lace and are all about making a very sultry statement. You can wear them with or without pantyhose, it’s totally up to you.

How Do I Put On A Garter Belt?
Believe it or not, wearing a garter set is not as easy as it sounds. Depending on the style you’ve picked, it’ll have either four or six straps hanging down with a small clasp attached to each. You’ll want to put the garter belt on first, then thigh-high nylons (if you’re wearing them), attach the clasps, adjust them to the right length and then put on your underwear.

How Do I Find A Garter Belt That Fits Right?
There’s nothing sexy about ill-fitting women’s lingerie, so make sure you find a garter belt set with the right fit. First, make sure your lingerie garter set isn’t too big or small by finding one that rests nicely at your waist. Next, make sure your straps are at the right length so you can move with ease without your nylons falling down or the clasps popping off.

When Should I Wear A Garter Belt?
It’s totally up to you. You can wear sexy lingerie anytime, anyplace if you’re in the mood. Wearing a garter is a great way to feel bold, so go ahead and rock one to work under your favorite pencil skirt. Make date nights a little extra spicy by pairing a garter with some sexy panties and fishnet tights. You can even wear one under your usual women’s pajamas and robes. The options are endless.
