Okay, girls, let’s talk suspenders.

They can be fiddly, full of straps and sometimes, tights may seem like an easier option. Don’t worry, we’ve all been there.

If you’re wondering how to wear suspenders, fear no more. If the whole process of putting them on seems a bit daunting, we’ve got you. From learning how to put suspenders on to what they are, we’re here to turn you into the ultimate suspender queen.


WHAT ARE SUSPENDERS?

Made to wear on your waist or hips, suspenders are a ‘belt’ or strip of elasticated material which includes elasticated straps on either side. These straps have fastenings on the end of them which attach to your stockings and hold them in place. In the US, ‘suspenders’ are referred to as ‘garter belts’.

Psst…they’re totally the same thing, by the way.


WHAT ARE SUSPENDERS USED FOR?

Suspenders are used to secure your stockings perfectly in place. Nobody wants to have their stockings sliding down. That would be a disaster, not to mention annoying!

Suspenders are also super sexy and wearing them can make you look and feel absolutely stunning! The extra detail they offer can elevate any Intimate look. If you're not too sure, just take a look at our Intimates.


HOW TO PUT ON SUSPENDERS

Putting suspenders on isn’t as daunting as it seems, we promise. It’s totally simple and we can show you how in three easy steps.

  • Put the suspender belt on first, fastening the hook and eyes in the back, followed by your stockings.
  • Open each of the fastenings on your suspender belt, the ones at the bottom of the leg straps. Simply slide the rubber nub up and out of the large hole in the clasp.
  • Either standing up or sitting down, place the thicker part of the stocking over the rubber nub at the bottom part of the fastening. Then, close the fastening. This will ensure your stockings don’t go sliding away. Repeat on the rear strap too.

And voila! It really is as simple as that! We told you putting suspenders on was nothing to stress about.

Still struggling? Don’t worry. You can always attach your suspender belt to the stockings before sliding both pieces on.
