Due to having very pale skin, I never feel comfortable going bare leg when wearing skirts and dresses. I have tried countless brands of tights throughout the years and all were the same (regardless of price). They would fit my legs and hips for a while, then would fall down due to my waist being much smaller than the band for my "correct size." My waist is 11" smaller than my hips, which makes it impossible to get tights that truly fit my figure.
After my last pair of tights ripped, I decided to look on Amazon to see if there was anything better. I found this garter belt (which I thought were no longer made in the modern era) and decided to give it a try. I could not be happier for doing so as this garter belt hugs my waist and hips (bonus: acts like spanx) while also securely holding up stockings I have bought off Amazon. I feel that this garter belt is quite comfortable and surprising non-restrictive. I have sprinted short distances and find that the garter belt remains structured without falling or creasing. As an added bonus, this garter belt also makes panties have no VPL. Definitely recommend to those with shapely figures that cannot get tights to work for them.
