A good suspender belt has at least 6 straps; anything less is definitely not recommended. A solid choice of material is also important, because for lasting comfort, it is essential that the belt doesn’t slip down. Especially when you are just starting to wear real stockings, it is best to start with a suspender belt. Later on, you can certainly consider an Open Bottom Girdle (OBG) or a Body Briefer.

Real stockings are best worn as high as possible with straps that aren’t too long. Furthermore, if you opt for metal clips, you definitely don’t have to worry about them popping loose. In short: don’t buy cheap sets from an adult shop, but give real stockings a fair chance. There is plenty of choice available, especially online.

Finally: many women wonder at first what to do about their panties. It is best to wear them over the suspender belt. This prevents a lot of fumbling, meaning you only have to put your stockings on once a day. However, many advertising photos want to show off the belt (including the one above) and set the wrong example.
