Garter belts, thigh highs or panty hose?

I love wearing stockings! I have garters thigh highs and panty hose. My question is what is everyone's fave? Personally I perfer garters or thigh highs over panty hose even though garters can be a pain to fasten. But garters feel so wonderful! Thigh highs don't seem to last as long they tend to keep slipping off but I love them anyway. Panty hose are probably more practical I just don't like them as well for some reason. What do you think?

Well, another Jody expose'. Giggle. Love garter belts, haven't had one in years. Really! I'm not lying... But, I do have a nice pair of old time stockings I'm saving. One day maybe, one day...

Thigh Highs are such a huge weakness for me. Ding! They go with everything and all occasions, well maybe not a swim suit. Giggle.

I once saw something called Big O pantyhose. Wow, I would be a liar, if I said I never fanisized about them. But, after being on HRT for so long, my whole being has changed. Now it is more like, "Please Sir, don't stand behind me like that."... Well there are a few, I might like to sit in their lap unexpectedly, run my fingers through their hair, with a quick kiss to drive them crazy. Well??? It's just for fun with our clothes on. Oh and yes, I would then run like hell. LOL!

Gee, I never thought about another trans girl wearing them??? Well, yes I have. Oops, my mental G rating just took a jump, so I will quit here, while I can...

Hug. JodyAnn

I prefer thigh highs or just knee length stockings. It was a warmth thing this winter. Garter belts are sexy for sure but a pain to rig when you can just pull your stockings up. Sure they may drop a bit but if it is under who cares. They pull back up in a second.

Now no stockings please. Its warming up and bare toes are too nice to encase.

Hugs,

For every day wear, lol, I prefer none of the above.

If it's for something seductive to wear for your partner, definitely thigh highs with a garter belt.

Knee highs are great for when you dont want all the hassel, BUT their is nothing more feminine to me than a garter belt and stockings. This is the preferred items of Amber L. I dont even own a pair of panty hose, way to much trouble in my book. Thigh Highs are my seconf choice. Hugs Amber L.

I prefer pantyhose, they are simple to use for me, and I have a perfect excuse for buying them, they have tons of craft uses. Homemade silk screen painting for instance.

Not so much doing Hose or stockings/thigh highs. I like the look though. I am a sucker for tights in textures and patterns, argyle prints being one of my favorite. When I do simple hose, they have to be 20D Satin opaque from Dim. They smell really pretty new from the packet. Have the perfect shine and even color and last for a loooooong time. I treat all my hose and tights like new born babies and always buy my favs in multiples just incase a pair does get a snag, run/ladder. The best tights hands down are my Trasparenze Hungary tights. They are such a unique argyle style. I sooooo can not wait until fall to pair them with a gorgeous pair of boots.

Love the thigh highs so far, the pantyhose just feels a little awkward with all that extra stuff down there :(

Defiantly a hose and garters girl, probably something to do with my age. I currently have to wear compression hose @ $100.00 a pair. The next pair I get will be women's they are really nice and sheer.

I stopped wearing panyhose during the hot wheather, but I miss the feel of them. I started to wear thigh high stay ups and now that I wax my legs I don't find them uncomfortable at all. They are not as hot as the pantyhose and I get that great feeling on my legs.

cheers

My preference. Knee highs striped to go with the skirt I wear.

Stockings if I am forced.

Garter belt for sexy lovins time.

The rest of the time? Like lizzy, nuffin.

I simply love the look of a garter belt and stockings, I think its so sexy and feminine. However, when I tried putting one on I had such a hard time I thought I was doing something wrong. Finally, I gave up and never tried to venture that way again. Now that I know that they are just hard to put on I will purchase more; got rid of my last ones during my last purge. I do enjoy wearing pantyhose just for the feel of them on my legs. Usually during the winter though I find myself wearing more tights than anything. Since I am out to a lot of people at my job I will have the freedom to wear more shear pantyhose this winter.

I only wear stockings and garter belts and of course a thong, sure dressing like this takes a little longer but, the feeling of being sensual and sexy goes hand in hand with my femininity.

I mostly wear short tight skirts so I have to make sure I get the extra long black stockings with the seams.

I own several fancy garter belts, and I love them, they are great for those "special" occasions when I want to get a point across (my SO likes them a lot, but I'm pretty sure she only owns two I bought for her and she never wore) For the most part I use high-thigh stockings with stay-up silicone bands. They have to be pulled up a couple times in the course of a day, but they are so much more comfortable than panty hose. I find pantyhose are too warm and considerably less convenient in the ladies' room too.

Be well and take care!

Vintage flat knit stockings with a garter belt are sheer Heaven for me :) altho it is support pantyhose that I wear everyday, I never cared much for knee high or thigh high stay up's. I consider them to be cheaters

Stockings may be sexier but panty hose for me - in lots of different colours - ideal for quick change of outfit.

Now winter is coming just got some fleece lined - very soft and comfy - could fall in love with them :)

I'm all dressed up today and running an open studio tour. It is brisk with a breeze but warm in the sun. Thigh highs were the days choice. A nice thick black pair that makes me feel cute but also warm. Each day is different this time of year and it seems my choice of hose changes daily. Socks for farm work, bare feet and sandals for afternoon shopping as changeable as the fall weather in NJ. I never had these decisions to make as a guy. I like them now and it seems to come naturally.

Hugs,

Charlie

I have yet to wear anything but pantyhose. Now that I'm wearing them to work, they're becoming a bother. One thing that gets me is the extra time sorting everything out after using the restroom. Another is that I still have to use cotton undies for post-op comfort. The pantyhose just don't breathe well enough. I only wear dresses to work a couple days out of the week - and can wear knee-highs the rest of the time,

At least around here, however, pantyhose are half the price or less of stockings. On my budget, I'm sticking with the pantyhose for now...

Love, Megan

It is tights for me everytime. I have been wearing tights since I was twelve. I have rarely worn a pair of tights that I haven't felt comfortable in. Last year I bought two pairs of hold up stockings by mistake. I didn't feel like returning them so I wore them. They were ok for about half an hour but they soon started to sag. I took them off and soon returned to my beloved tights. I would not mind trying stockings and suspenders for a change, but I am afraid of ruining them when putting them on. I would not mind wearing a pair of seamed stockings I have always hankered to look like a Woman in a forties movie.

      @FelixThePickleManTrust me I know the feeling. I didn't have the guts to come out that young. It wasn't well known back then. I knew I felt completely wrong. I knew for sure my parents weren't going to help me so I hid it all. It hurt a lot to live a lie. I always pretended to be the female that I was dating. I prayed and cried every night. It's not easy because bullying has always been around and the teachers didn't really care about that stuff back then.    You can make it through this. I would like to help you out just like I have with previous members. It's going to be up to you if you would like it. It's not going to happen overnight I can promise you that. For every negative thing or comment it typically needs double the number for positive things to feel better about yourself. You unfortunately are living with your parents which they are getting used to you coming out too. Sometimes coming out you're going to lose a lot of support. I lost over 40 family members but I'm happier than what I was. I still look at the mirror and still have my issues which is typical because we know our own faults and short comings. You have to value yourself. There isn't going to be an easy life. We all face many obstacles and it's harder for the ones that have something else to deal with.   We aren't in the same boat as some people are in yachts, cruise ships, and so on. There are perks and cons to each one. The best thing is to find something that you are great at and focus on that while trying to improve on the little things. Some have rituals everyday such as a new Bible verse that is related to what you are going through or a poem there are many poems for everything.

      G'day @Vivelacors   Welcome to Transgender Pulse Forums, I hope you find this place as informative and helpful as I do.   Best wishes, stay positive, and safe,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Tonight we will split a thick cut ribeye steak grilled outside, along with fresh asparagus shoots, apple sauce, and fresh cucumber salad. The steak has already been seasoned, wrapped in butcher paper resting to room temperature. The cucumber salad is blended and resting in the refrigerator.   Tomorrow's dinner will be Chicken drumsticks (skin on) that are already marinating in Zesty Italian dressing. Tomorrow I will smoke the drumsticks with apple-wood smoke, before crisping them up on the grill. We'll also have grilling beans, and garlic mashed potatoes.   The outside kitchen is now open.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Clutching of pearls because people that don’t “align with society” party to excess is part of the problem, not a symptom of one. Cis-het folks are out there airing their sexuality, reveling in their debauchery, and displaying general anti-social behaviors all the time but aren’t reacted to in the same manner.   The most important T in this conversation is Time. As long as there is not a fascist, violent, crackdown on LGBTQ+ people, our exposure to society (at least in Western society) will continue to move it towards our acceptance.

      I have three within a two block walk! You'd think I was in Seattle already! The one I have always gone to is the quintessential "local coffee shop" though; local artist's works on the wall, drinks named after customers and local geography, and it's run down just enough to feel homey. Also, I can bring my 20oz coffee mug in and get it filled for the price of a small! :D

      Eczema was my excuse. *high fives!*   It's lovely when you get a nice interaction like that. Yesterday I got a "you're so sweet" from a man who I held the door for, I don't think he saw all of me until after he'd walked past so he only picked up on my outfit and body appearance. I was so paranoid that I used too male of a voice in return, but c'est la vie. I felt really nice after it though.   I tend to try to put in a lot of effort. If I wear make up, it has to be perfect, etc. I put this pressure on myself because I, too, don't have a chance in h-e-double hockey sticks at "passing".  So, I try not to make myself an "easy target".

      It's just the opposite here.  There are a ton of local boutique coffee roasters in this area.  There is no excuse for bad coffee here, which is why I am always surprised when I get mediocre truck-stop coffee in restaurants.

      It’s a huge difference, the laser has done wonders. I still have some stragglers, but I hope a few more sessions to try to zap those. Mostly what’s left are the white/blonde hairs, they still need a shave but they don’t really cause me much dysphoria.   I do use makeup, I barely go out without liner and mascara these days. Don’t tend to do a full face, but when I go for a little coverage I use tinted moisturizer and a little concealer under setting powder. Here’s me today, with about as much makeup as I go out with (forgive me the wings, I struggled today…), I went and got my hair done, so I had to look good for the ladies.

      This is me as well. I wear dresses and skirts exclusively.  That is pretty obvious.  When I get misgendered, it's not by mistake.

      I'm glad to hear it! Fruits and veggies time! I just had a greek yogurt with flax meal and blueberries and now I'm feeling better about that! I am so glad you're OK!   Just finished my second cup of coffee after an appointment with my normal stylist, I haven't see her since November! First time see her since going femme full time. I'd texted her before the appointment, just in case, but she has been super sweet the whole time. Not much hair ended up on the floor, but I'm going to need the back trimmed before long but for now I just got some shaping done.   Ugh, I'm sorry to hear that. My guess is your neighbor won't be paying the medical bill...

      Doubt it, most people against the T are also against the LGB, I am bi and it all seems to intersect one way or another. Trans people are "new" in the eyes of the public so its just a weird thing for them all.
