  • Knickers over suspenders - contrary to lingerie magazine photos. For a variety of reasons...

    Or just use hold-ups - they look better under clothing as no suspenders showing.

    And for those looking for less practical purposes, some prefer to remove knickers leaving suspenders and stockings on.

    That, surely, is the primary reason why it's knickers over the top of the suspender belt/straps :D The secondary reason is so that you can go to the toilet. :cool:

    Another vote here for knickers over the top...though I hardly wear them now as my own flexibility with dodgy back and hip makes doing up the back ones difficult. Hold ups can be great if you get the nice ones - some have lovely wide and pretty lacey top and don't dig in leaving the horrible bulge of flab over the top

    I would normally lengthen the straps as much as I can, clip them on and then adjust them to the right length. It gives you a bit more flexibility while fastening them. When going to the loo, don't unclip them, just unfasten the suspender belt and pull everything down together.

    I would always wear the suspender belt over knickers.

    Doesn't that make it harder to pee?

    I gave up wearing the belts in my teens. Tights are never long enough so hold ups work best for me. But agree re the deep lace top ones.

    Theres no way I could go through the palava in a public toilet of attaching the straps each time I want to go to the loo. Tried that today and it didn't work so next time, the pants will have to go over.:D Its ok looking good but they have to be practical too.


    Holdups.... no, ive wore them several times and was terrified they would fall round me knees.:D

  • When I'm doing a photoshoot I prefer the lady to wear them over the pants. :)
