Suspenders or garter belts is a woman's undergarment consisting of a reinforced material strip usually at least 2 to 3 inches wide which is worn around the waist, to which 2 or 3 elastic suspenders are attached on each side. The suspenders are typically clipped to the stockings by metal hourglass clips with rubber circles, allowing for adjustment and a locking mechanism. Such clips are best attached to stockings with a simple welt that does not have lace or silicon lining.
