How to Attach Hosiery to Garters

Add garters to your stockings for a sexier look.

Garters with stockings can add a little sexiness to your everyday attire, or your lingerie for nighttime. The garters can look like they might take rocket science to get on, but it really isn't that difficult as long as you buy the right stockings and have a few extra minutes. Make sure everything fits properly and can be adjusted before you begin this endeavor.

Instructions

1. Secure the garter belt around your waist. This typically includes fastening a hook closure in the back of the garter belt. The garter belt should fit perfectly around your waist, although some can be adjusted if necessary. Make sure two garters hang down in front, one in front of each leg, and the two in back hang down over the backs of your thighs.

2. Put your stockings on. Carefully slide the stockings over each foot and roll them up until they are all the way on. If they are patterned or seamed, check that the patterns are lining up the way they are supposed to.

3. Place the garters on to the stockings. Put the stocking in between the circle and the metal loop closure that is at the end of each garter. Push the circle through the fabric and the metal loop, and slide it to the bottom to completely secure it. Repeat this process for the other front garter.

4. Secure the back garters. This may involve some difficult reaching around, so make the process easier by stepping one leg at a time up on a higher surface such as a couch or chair. Reach both arms behind the leg and snap the back garters into place. Repeat for the other leg.

5. Check to make sure the garters are securely in place on the front and back of both of your legs. See that the garters are an even distance apart and that they fit properly. Make adjustments if you desire.
