The only stockings I've ever worn were a pair of fishnets with elastic bands on the top so they didn't need garters or weird sticky stuff or anything. That seemed to work pretty well.

I've always thought garters were really cool-looking, but they sound like a lot of work. -_-

What you are referring to are considered "hold-ups." They are also popular, and worn by many, but as i have discovered, do not have the same overall complete effect in some ways depending on the person you are trying to entice... apparently there is something to be said for the little "clasp" bumps under tight skirts that help to set the imagination running.... *grinz*

Something also to consider with those, depending on the person, they may not stay up as easily as they could, and i know in my case i apparently am allergic to the elastic banding. And, yes, i did try several different brands.

The hardest part i am having at the moment is i seem to be tearing them each time i turn around. i don't recall every having ripped hose so easily before. Especially around the toe area.... Any recommendations from those out there with more experience? Is the toe issue related to the fact the stocking is being pulled too tight?

Other than that after having experienced stockings for just a VERY short while i am finding them to be a very pleasurable experience for many different reasons... although perhaps my favorite reasoning is because feeling the garter straps against my thighs each day reminds me in some ways of being placed into bondage.... *smiles* which is a nice reminder/distraction to have....

I like this topic!
In my (limited) experience, many easily available stockings tend to be more sheer, and hence, more easily run. More expensive doesn't necessarily mean run-proof! I shopped around until I found a brand that makes stockings in Tall sizes. I think it helps, along with *not* buying a very sheer stocking--at least if you want them to last for more than one wearing!
I also don't think the "hold-ups" ever stay up. Just my opinion, but it's really annoying if you're walking around and one of your stockings either rolls down or sags. Ugh!
(Besides...I always wonder who notices the garter straps under the skirt in my suit! I always do my part to keep the meetings from being dull!)
