How To Choose A Good Garter Belt? – Not all garter belts are created equal
They’re the cherry on the cake – the optional extra piece that takes your lingerie from pretty to all- out sensational.
Some people always buy a matching garter belt to complete each look, while others prefer to invest in one piece that coordinates well with different lingerie sets. Whichever camp you’re in, it pays to know what makes a garter belt functional as well as stylish.
Here are some tips on how to choose a good garter belt.
Number of straps
4 straps work just fine. However, extra straps mean it will do an even better job of holding your stockings up and preventing them from twisting.
With non-stretch nylon stockings in particular, you may find that 6 or 8 straps helps them to stay taut and smooth. Plus, it just looks sexy!
Shape & fit
While a narrow garter belt can be a fun boudoir piece, for all-day wear, you’ll find that a wide garter belt is less likely to slip down.
To keep your stockings secure, your garter belt should also sit high on the waist, not low around your hips.
Material
As for material, it really all comes down to personal preference.
Want an authentic retro feel? Choose classic nylon. Craving femininity? Choose lace.
And if you want exquisite softness and luxury? I highly recommend going for silk!
