How to Buy a Garter

A garter is a very sexy piece of lingerie that is used to hold up a woman's stockings, but many women wear a garter for another reason--sex appeal. Follow these steps to learn how to buy a garter.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

1. Decide how many straps you want your garter to have. Garters come in 4, 6, 8 and 12 straps. The amount of straps to choose is a matter of personal preference.
2. Choose either a domestic or European style garter. A European garter is racier and is used for a sexy appearance rather than to secure stockings.
3. Select the material of the garter you want to buy. Garters are available in satin, leather, mesh, lace, fishnet and vinyl material.
4. Determine what color garter you want to buy. The color you select should be what you feel sexiest in. Garters are available in black, white, nude, neon and pastel colors.
5. Buy the size garter that best fits you. Try on the garter to make sure that it is comfortable and fits appropriately.
6. Purchase a garter set that includes the garter, stockings and panties. You'll save a lot of money in the long run if you purchase these items together in a set. You can also be assured they will match.
7. Customize a garter belt according to your desires. Most garter retailers provide you with the option to design your own garter if you aren't able to find one that fully satisfies you.
