How to Wear a Garter Belt

Wearing a garter belt with stockings is easier than you think. Follow this guide for a secure, comfortable fit.

How To Wear Garter Belt

What You Need

  • Garter belt (4 or 6 straps)
  • Stockings (plain top, not hold-ups)
  • Underwear

Step-by-Step

1. Put On the Garter Belt

  • Fasten at waist (hooks in back)
  • Position at natural waist
  • Adjust straps to hang evenly

2. Put On Stockings

  • Gather stocking at toe
  • Insert foot, roll up gently
  • Smooth up to thigh
  • Repeat for second leg

3. Attach Garters

  • Front straps first
  • Insert stocking welt into clip
  • Snap closed securely
  • Back straps next (reach behind)
  • Adjust for even tension

4. Underwear LAST

Important: Put underwear on OVER the garter straps. This allows bathroom breaks without undoing everything.

Adjustment Tips

  • Straps should have slight tension
  • Not so tight they pull uncomfortable
  • Not so loose stockings sag
  • Seams should be straight
