My Dear Sisters on this site.
The majority of us are in the senior and 'mature age category. You may have read many of my postings o forums extolling my absolute fondness and fetish for wearing gartered Nylon Stockings.
For me, there is no more sensuous , sexier feeling than slowly slipping into a nice pair of nylon stockings, starting at adjusting the reinforced toe, then slowly sliding them up smooth shaved, lotion powdered legs, until they are attached to your 4,6,or 8 strap garters on your All-In-Ones-A Merry Widow; bask, Corset, garter belt -or the sensuous feel of a Rago Open bottom girdle.
I have all of those plus close to 50+ pairs of nylons from Full Fashion, RHT, nude toe, and they are in many different colors-mainly my favorite, Black, off Black and browns, I just love wearing seamed stocking for the downtown business secretary look,
I tried posting a collage picture of a small representation on my examples of my Stacking and Garter 'Partners", however attachments aren’t allowed in Forum posts. So watch for it in mky Public Photos section under profile in the future
The icing on finishing dressing is walking out in flats or heels and feeling that taunt tug against your garters with every womanly step. Any others here have comments?
Hey Meghan!
I have to admit to possessing a fair number of stockings. I also agree with your sentiment about the physical sensation of wearing stockings with a suspender belt or other appropriate garment. No other hosiery choice can replicate that sublime feeling.
However, I rarely wear stockings anymore for a few reasons.
First, I'm a trans girl that's constantly on the go. Stockings aren't practical for my busy life. My go-to look most days is very casual. That's partly choice and partly because of the work I do. I would be quite out of place at my work dressed to the nines.
The other reason is leg health. I have a circulation issue that requires more support than I can get from stockings. I wear tights most days for this reason. When I do get dressed up, I wear support thigh-highs by one of the better brands like Solidea, Oroblu, Falke or Wolford.
Stockings and suspenders are a treat reserved for times when I won't be on my feet for hours....or will mostly be laying down....

Trying on my mums nylons when I was about 11 was my first ever crossdressing experience. It would be 1966ish before tights were universally adopted and they were real, non stretch stockings.
I think it was curiosity that made me even think about it but oh, the feeling! That was me hooked.
I have a few pairs of genuine nylons now but they are expensive and far too easily ripped so I keep them for when I want to feel extra special. There's still nothing to compare with pulling them up freshly waxed and oiled legs, amazing.
Thanks for this post, Meghan, and for the memories it's sparked.

@alexina I remember non stretch stockings another reason why I love hold ups I suppose.
@meghan47 I think wearing suspenders with stockings or in my case hold ups ( they can be worn with suspenders or not ) is one of the most sensuous things you can do. I am amazed genuine ladies don't wear them more. I get a tingle and shivers as I feel the pull when I walk.
@meghan47 omg, the movement of your feet in the shoes as you walk with confidence, the feeling is totally erotic. I am down to about 25 pair of RHT and ff’d hose. My favorite color is black or spice, either one.
@meghan47 I love everything about wearing stockings and garters. For me, the process of putting them on is so sensuous. I love pulling them up to the tops of my thighs and attaching the garters. The way they feel under a dress is just amazing too. When I wear them, I am constantly reminded of my sensuousness as a woman and it makes me feel empowered in such an authentic way.
I can imagine the pleasure. Trying to decide whether a four or six strap suspender belt is best (most comfortable). Your views appreciated.

@sophy33 I can one better 'Black Bra'. I own a 8 strap satin Garter Belt. Even more of that glorious feel of that 'taunt tug ' with every womanly step while going out public dressed on the pavement combined with the sound of clicking high heels!
Hi Meghan
I know what you mean. The combination of nylons with silky lingerie is what I enjoy. However. I think eight straps would be too much for me. I usually have difficulty attaching the rear suspenders to the stockings.
Love

Black stockings and garter belt was my first purchase. They were lost in a purge but replaced soon after. I remember seeing pictures of women wearing stockings and garters in catalogs when I was a child. I knew back then I wanted to wear them when I got older.
@autumngold ----NOTHING can compare with the Black Stockings (especially seamed) and a nice frilly, lacy garter belt, corset, Merry Widow, All-In-One, or Open bottom Rago Girdle- Oh... what Heavan
@meghan47 I have to agree with you Meghan, there is a definite thrill to be had by wearing stockings and suspenders.
I am a life-long tights addict, and have only dabbled in the world of stockings from time to time. However, I recently bought a bargain bundle of three basques which actually fit perfectly and have sensibly short suspenders that keep the stockings at the top of my thighs, rather than half-way to my knees 😀
You'll probably think I'm some sort of heretic though, as I prefer to wear them over a pair of very sheer-to-waist tights (suitably modified to facilitate toilet visits🤭), but it adds to the sensuality, having that nylon-sliding-over-nylon sensation added to the equation. They also force me to wear dresses and skirts of a length more appropriate to my age too! lol
@caroline2k Good for YOU! Whatever feels great on those legs. No heretic here 😊 Go Girl!
Meghan -
I totally agree about the feeling of wearing stockings and garter belts or other lingerie with garter straps. When I first started dressing many years ago some of the first items I wore were my mothers garter belt and stockings. It is a sensuous feeling putting on the stockings and feeling the tug as you walk.
Thank you for sharing on this experience.

I'm a pantyhose girl. I love wearing shiny, sheer to waist pantyhose and showing my legs in them. However, from time t time I get the desire to wear a garter belt and stockings. Sliding the stockings up my legs and hooking up the garters is so thrilling, I literally tremble. Then to stand up and walk and feel the garters tugging is such an amazing feeling and experience that just can't happen doing anything else.
In my teens and early twenties, when I wore stockings and garters, I would get the urge and desire to go out and show off the garters and stocking tops in a short dress. I often went out in sheer to waist pantyhose and short dresses. It was wonderful, thrilling and exciting showing my legs like that. But to do it in stockings and garters took a whole new level of nerve. But the sensations, experience and thrills were even more intense.
Even for a dedicated pantyhose girl like myself, occasionally I need the stocking and garters experience.
@pattyphose absolutely! THERE IS NOTHING LIKE THE ACT OF ROLLING THE STOCKINGS UP YOUR LEGS, ATTACHING GARTERS AND THEN WALKING IN THEM WITH A SKIRT OR SWISHING DRESS, AND MAYBE GIVING GUYS A 'SNEAK PEEK ON THE STREET, WHILE SITTING ON A PARK BENCH OR AS A SECRETARY 'ACCIDENDLY 'SHOWING OFF YOUR STOCKING TOPS' AND WELTS WHEN YOU GO TO SIT DOWN! MEN GO CRAZY SEEING THAT!
I am in total agreement. I never feel more fem than when I am wearing a pretty dress and have on underneath it a sexy garter belt and stockings It is the last thing I want to take off.
@22stars YES! I know the 'feeling' completely!!!! I take everything else off including makeup and wait until the very last to slowly and carefully roll down the stockings, fold them, and put the over the cardboard backing and slip them into that cellophane bag.If I was ever to be reincarnated, I want to come back as a Full Fashioned Black Seamed Nylon Stocking!
Yea I wear pantyhose, tights, leggings, and stockings with garter belts. You described the sensation so well Megan and thats why my legs are always cleanly shaven. Sometimes I wonder if ggs have the same sensation otherwise they would wear them too more often. I share the same feeling with above comments though about secretly letting my skirt or dress slip up to show them off proudly and yes men go crazy over seeing the straps. We girls love a little tease with a peek a poo flash
Hi Meghan,
I can't agree with you more, the feel of pulling on a nice pair of stockings is one of the best feelings in the world, when i start to pull on that first stocking i know Roz is on her way, apart from a Bra a nice pair of stockings are the most girly things in a girls wardrobe,
Hugs Rozalyn X 🤗
I adore hosiery. Tights for everyday, practical wear. Stockings and suspenders more of an occasional treat or photo shoot. The first items feminine clothing I ever bought were suspender tights and stockings and suspenders.
Ooh Anna, I've just discovered suspender tights. Had no idea they were a thing. What a great compromise. In my very limited experience attaching stockings to suspenders has been pretty fiddly. I've got some suspender tights on order for my femme time next week. Also a couple of pairs of tights xx. @
I love wearing my garter belt and stockings Meghan. Love feeling that tug! For me it is much more sensuous than wearing pantyhose.
When I started wearing nylons they didn't have pantyhose. Just loved them, and when pantyhose got popular I still wore gartered nylons because they were my favorite. Besides they just felt so much more feminine. Still wear gartered nylons for those special moments with my love, but mostly wear pantyhose these days. I do have quite the collection of both.
Having grown up in the years when there were no tights and almost all women wore nylon stockings almost all the time...stockings have always been my preference and I have never had any trouble managing the fastening of suspenders. But for women at that time it was regarded as important not to let your stocking tops show so when shorter skirts came along and that became more and more difficult, tights took over. Sometimes the transition took several years with tights initially worn only when absolutely necessary. It's been the same for me: when I want the short-skirt/long legs look it has to be tights. For knee length - or just above the knee - skirts, stockings are still preferred.
Paula,
Oh yes! I remember that time frame well.
It was the mid-60s, and I was taking a train up to the big city for a day of shopping, about two hours by train back then. (Another state, not Georgia) Only seats left when I boarded were across from three young men my age. As was normal at that time for a girl my age, I was wearing a short mini-skirt and stockings. As you described, the battle was to keep the stocking tops from showing but show they did, and the young men were getting a good show. This was the mid-60s, and a girl was expected to have good manners. I was near crying and was going go hide somewhere, when a conductor showed up with a light blanket and discreetly handed it to me, problem solved!
So how did the conductor know to bring the blanket? One of the young men had slipped away and asked the conductor to fetch a blanket for the young lady sitting near them.
@catgurl I don't know how the train conductor knew but I can recount one small incident from around 1969 or 1970. Some friends of my parents were visiting along with their daughter who would have been about 16. She wore a shortish dress (above the knee by just a few centimetres) but when she sat next to me on the settee in our lounge I noticed that she was trying to pull the dress hem down as much as possible but slowly the hem would rise up a little and I thoought I saw the smallest hint of stocking welt. Of course, I said nothing. However, coming into the room and facing her daughter, the mother probably got a clear view. She told her, a little sternly, that she "should have worn tights with that dress".
Remarks and conversations like that, many years before we could read about such things on the internet, were fascinating to me. Much later I remember trying to copy that situation to find out for myself how difficult it must have been in that stockings-to-tights transition period to maintain what was then seen as "modesty".
The girl, obviously a little embarrassed by her mother's remarks, stood up so as to pull her dress down as much as possible and, I noticed, deftly tried to tug her front suspenders upwards (something I frequently saw girls do) by catching them with her fingetips through the material of her dress. She then sat down again, carefully, and smiled a knowing smile at me.
I have always love lace top stockings w/garter belt or lace top thigh highs. So sexy, love the look and feel
