How to Wear a Garter Belt. Put some sizzle in your sex life — or just feel more sensual
— by donning a good old-fashioned garter belt. You will need A garter belt Stockings
A mild detergent and matching ***. Step 1. Think about what kind of fabric you want
-- garter belts come in satin, lace, fishnet, mesh, leather, and vinyl. Step 2. Decide how
many straps you need, usually between four and 12. Four are fine if your garter's main
role will be as a sexy bedtime accessory, but you'll want more support if you plan to
wear the belt for longer. For a slimming effect, choose a garter belt with a hidden control
panel. Step 3. Pick a garter belt with metal clips, as opposed to plastic ones. You'll
pay more, but you'll reduce the chances of the clips popping open. And make sure the
straps are adjustable. Step 4. See that the garter belt sits securely on your waist, but
is not tight. Step 5. Wear stockings that are designed to be worn with a garter belt.
You'll be able to identify them by the thicker, darker band at the top, known as the welt.
Splurge on silk stockings; they'll cost more initially, but the payoff is that they last
longer -- and look better. Step 6. Attach each clasp to the welt, taking care to keep
the straps straight. You do this by placing the round part of the clasp under the stocking,
about an inch from the top of the welt, and then pressing the part with the loop over
it, to form a lock. Step 7. Once the straps are clasped to the stockings, adjust their
lengths just as you'd adjust a bra strap. To gauge how much slack you need in the back
in order to sit down without snapping your stockings, lift your leg onto a chair and
adjust. Step 8. Pair your garter belt with a beautiful pair of *** in either the
same color or a complementary one. Step 9. Keep your garter belt in good shape by hand
washing it in a mild detergent. Did you know Sales of garter belts rose 15% after Susan
Sarandon wore them in the 1988 film _Bull Durham_.
