Stockings 101

[precious]

I have been on an adventure of sorts recently. Master enjoys women in stockings and garters and... well... honestly i had never even considered them and had zero experience with them.

So, thanks to a very patient Dom and some wonderful sites i have finally started to understand the entire concept much better....

It is amazing how that is a world of it's own. There are degrees of sheerness in the stocking (denier), French Heel, Cuban Heel, fence net, flat knit, boarded, fully fashioned, etc... the list of terms seems endless.... and that is JUST in stockings!

Then for garters... when i was thinking garter i was thinking the cutsie little ones that come with the matching bra and panty sets. The ones that have a strap in the front, one in the back and just never seem to work well at all. Honestly, i was dreading the thought of fighting with those on a regular basis. Com'n ladies... we all know how annoying they can be. May look sexy as hell but give them an hour and you have sags in every direction! Much to my surprise though... there is an entire set of vocabulary to go with garters.... there are panels, and 6 straps, 8 straps, 10 straps and even a new 12 strap. In Europe the garter is sometimes called suspenders... there are garter hose, garter panties...

Then there is the entire how to, where to, when to thing on wearing them... some garters sit on the hips and some sit lower or higher... and what about the panty for those of us allowed?

These were all burning questions... and as i discussed this issue in chat i discovered that some knew a lot about it... but most were under the same previous impression i was....

So... in my research i found two amazing links. One is a glossary of terms, that other is a "how to wear" guide! Check them out for answers to all of your burning questions....

(awww...loving this thread and hate to be a party pooper hun, but the links you provided went to a commercial site and cannot be allowed. i will PM you with an alternate solution though ~winks~ --baby girl)

and let's have some fun....

What is your favorite type of stocking? Is there a better time that you prefer to wear them? Men... what is your take? Enjoy looking at them or are they just in the way? What else can those of you all ready well educated on this topic share? What are the other burning stocking questions out there???
