Identification
-
A garter belt holds up your stockings, but attaches to them using straps with clamps on the ends. A garter belt can be a garment that goes over your underwear, is part of your underwear or attaches to a girdle.
Purpose

A garter is a piece of elastic usually covered by lace or silky material and fits snuggly around your mid-thigh. It can be worn over the top of thigh-high stockings to keep them in place or as an accessory. The garter belt holds the garter in place.

Considerations
-
Putting on a garter belt is trickier than a plain garter. If you have a girdle, don the stockings and girdle first.
Using Clamps
-
There will be four, six or eight clamps on each leg that you need to attach. The front clamps should be pretty easy to clasp together, but reaching around to the back of your thigh can be a bit more difficult. One recommendation is to act like you are taking a step forward and attach the clasps on the back of your leg that is forward.
Sizes
-
Most garters come in small, medium, large and plus sizes. On occasion, there are garters that come in one-size-fits-all. It varies by the type of material and depends on whether there is lace or lace tie ups on the garter.
