* Hold up
Stockings that ultimately were given additional materials that serve to hold to the stockings do not sag.

Stocking of this type can sometimes leave scars if worn too long. To avoid scars like these, we can choose stockings that are equipped with a comfort band – kind of band that is comfortable to wear and no imprint on the thigh or cause pain. One is the band of silicon as it feels like that stocking is attached to the skin.

Some kind of string or ribbon to pull stocking. It is usually attached to a corset or some kind of underwear – like the one worn by Christina Aguilera in her clip Lady Marmalade. Wearing this stocking is also more convenient because it does not use a rubber that will leave a scar on the thigh.
