Garter Belt Or Pantyhose


Guest Vieja

Recommended Posts

Hi all As an old person I started my cross dressing long before there was such a thing as pantyhose. I came to love the beautiful garter belts that I bought and the nylon stockings they supported. I tried pantyhose but never really liked them. I learned that while I was hooked on garter belts it was a good idea to make sure they were a good snug fit or they could slip over your hips and pull your panties down. It happened to me once at a mall parking lot as I walked from my car the belt slipped and I must have been a comical sight hot footing it back to the car while hanging on to my butt.

I like both. Usually I'll wear pantyhose, opaques, black or brown(-ish) though some days I prefer stockings, suspenders and either hooked off to a pantie corselette or corset. That way they don't slip, unless the hooks slip out of the corset loops but so far have only lost one at a time, so have never lost the stocking down my leg, yet!

I too started out CDing using garter belt or a girdle with stockings. Your right that a garter belt needs to fit correctly or you will have a problem. I have both garter belts and a Open Bottom Girdle with garters on it. I prefer one with at least 6 garters (3 on each side) over the ones that only have 4. IMHO, these are more for show in the bedroom than for use while out. I have seen garter belts with as many as 16 garters (8 on each side). A little over kill but your stockings will never fall down.

Hi JoAnn, and Petra I have been out of touch for a while or I would have checked in sooner. I only have one garter belt at the moment (Sadly I outgrew two others) and it only has four garters. I didn't know that they came with more than four garters. Thanks for your input.

I love pantyhose, but at my current weight stockings are easier to put on. I like the feel of the continuos ssilky fabric from my toes to my waist - it makes me feel feminine and I have never cared that much for tight waist bands. I don't have much of a 'behind' yet - I haven't started on my hormones so I have to have a pretty tight garter belt to keep it from sliding off. Pantyhose give me that wonderful feeling of freedom that a dress does.

If I had the figure for it and was even 10 years younger, I'd love to go out in a body stocking with a skirt - talk about feeling feminine!

I answered this on another T G forum but I'll answer it here as well. I generally wear "Support" panty hose simply because of the fact that i suffer from severe Arthritis in the knees. Now it wasn't that long ago that I could actually buy Support stockings either . Yes they were to me great as they outlasted the panty hose due to their re-reinforced heels and toes . I also think that they gave a better support to my legs also. Then to, if you ran one thats all you did , one stocking. With panty hose you ruin a pair ! Also , I wear a lot of tights in the winter too. I look for the "shaper tights for the same reason ".

I have a couple of pairs of the old fashion garter stockings that I found months ago in a thrift store . I will wear them with a panty girdle just the same way we did in the late fifties and early sixties . Garter belts are , well, they're for the time when you're going to have them off sooner rather than later. I mean an encounter with you're other partner girls ! Yes , they are nice but I really prefer the feel of a long leg Girdle or Panty hose . Ellen Shaver

Garter belts and stockings have always been my weakness. They are sooo sexy. I recently picked up a maidenform long length bra that snapped at the crotch - Not sure what it is called. I cut the lower section off and added four garters and it is sexy as every and gives a little tummy support.

I only have pantyhose, one day, some item in the distant future, might get garter belt and have stockings. But pantyhose feel really great, very feminine.

Hey Vieja,

I prefer pantyhose, but I will say this... for me, pantyhose, garters, kneehigh nylons, feel good at first, but after about 8 or so hours of wearing them, my legs start to say to me... enough! get these things off of me. It is ironic, pantyhose first on... my legs feel great, they are purring. Hours later... pantyhose off... my legs feel great, they are purring once again! I can sympathise with things falling down at very in-opportune times :)

LOL

Garterbelts and stockings are a lot sexier, but they are just too much trouble for everyday wear. For daily wear I prefer pantyhose or opaque tights, because I can just pull them on and go.

Hi Everyone,

It has been quite a while since I have been able to check into the Playground. It looks to me as though it is getting a lot more traffic than it was back in August. I am please to see that it is not only us older folks that like garter belts. The ones that I have are getting shabby from washing so it is time for me to go shopping and I love the thought.

      My mom has been more accepting of me being trans lately and even promised i could get a binder if i pay with my own money. The preferred name is still an issue. So far my mom, close friends and brother know i identify as trans but no one else does. I recently told mr grandparents about my partner and explaines the perferred name as a nickname they prefer to have. Luckily everyone who knows is accepting but i feel like i still have so much progress to make. Started getting more uncomfortbale being reffered to as my deadname and she/her in public. My therapist is getting me a trans pin for my birthday next time I see her. I have hop but sometimes I feel like the goal is so far. HRT and top surgery are things i know i want but there has been warnings given to me about the problems that come with it from the ones that have accepted me and I trust most. Mainly from the adults in my life that know, also been getting nervous many people dont see me as a man but i also go to an all girl school. being consistenly reffered to as women has started to get to me and have had urge on several occasions to write perferred name on paper. i dont think pereffered name can go into school system due to being catholic school and for graduation diploma we have to contact the person in charge and ask. I just need some advice on what to do, I am thank ful for the advice everyone had given me, made me feel better about future and hope that I can transition but also worry about familial ties and affect. due to most f them being born in the 80's and 90's and not taking it well originally mostly based on my moms reaction. I love my family alot but how they might react is scaring me. my mom still donesnt want them to know. I know they love me but when I eventually come out and medically trasition in several years hopefully, what will happen? there are little kids in the family and I already dont see them a lot, how would their parents react? what would they say to the kids? I know my aunt would not take it well due to political belief and warnings from cousins.

      Maybe.  But they'd probably resent being required to do it.   IDK.  You have to show ID to register already.  And you have to be registered to vote.

      Hah! Woke up the Red Scare!   I’ve never read Marx. I tend to believe in the inherent goodness in people. I let their words and deeds change that. Insisting people are immoral/less than/should not exist, stripping them (or keeping them from) human rights, is an a most basic example of true evil. What evils do LGBTQ+ people present simply existing? How does the Right justify their crusade against us? What justifies the manufactured fear and loathing they spout every day about us?

      Congrats on the new addition @Ivy I have the opposite I have 4 grandson and a granddaughter. 3 of whom are visiting this weekend. I am feeling better. I think the biggest thing is that I got some much needed sleep.   Well gotta go and speed sometime with the grandsons.   Kymmie

      I saw this concert in which it is said that the famous phrase of Jon Landau "I saw the future of rock and roll and his name is Bruce Springsteen" comes from that night. By the way Bruce opened for Bonnie Raitt that night and she was the better performer . . . just sayin'.

      Astronomy and astrophotography.  I have done a few public presentations on the subject and could most likely wing it for an hour without putting you to sleep.   On the other hand if you need a sleeping pill, I could also talk for an hour about flying and you'd be out cold.

      Please consider joining us, even if it's just for a few minutes to see what the meetings are like. I've learned so much, had so much fun and gained confidence in myself just by being a part of this amazing group of people. It's a low key, no pressure, non-judgmental chance to just be among people who are supportive, understanding and affirming of each other.    I'm travelling out of state and still planning on dropping in for awhile.    Come see what it's like!! 
    • April Marie
      Thank you, Susan!! It was such an amazing experience for me. I can't remember if I even talked about it on a Zoom meeting.   Here is the link to the post I made about it. And, again, thank you for helping to give me the courage to do it.
