How to check stocking size?
Before purchasing, you must accurately check the size of stockings and match them to your measurements. So, measure your leg in the appropriate places - depending on whether you opt for hold-up stockings or standard garter belt stockings.

How to measure stockings?
Check your leg measurements, depending on the chosen type of stockings. How to do it? When it comes to garter belt stockings, the measurements are not as critical, but it is worth checking their length and matching them to your height. More important are the dimensions of the belt itself, which should be chosen according to your body measurements. You can read about this below. Hold-up stockings, on the other hand, should be chosen with greater care.
How to choose hold-up stockings?
Hold-up stockings should be chosen to match your measurements, according to the provided size chart. They must stay on the leg well, so they cannot be too small or too large.
Therefore:
- Choose stockings according to your height. All models have a height matched to each size.
- Check your crotch height.
- Don't forget the foot length. It is also important when choosing stockings.
- Thigh circumference is very important. Measure your thigh in a sitting position at its widest part and match the size to your measurements.
- Done! Compare your body measurements with the chart and choose the right size. This way, they won't slip down your leg, but they won't be too large either, so you'll prevent them from gapping or wrinkling.
How to choose garter belt stockings?
When it comes to fitting the stockings themselves to the garter belt, it's important to check your foot measurements and match them to your height. However, it is extremely important to choose the right garter belt!
How to measure a garter belt step by step:
- Measure your waist, which is the narrowest point of your silhouette, ideally just above the navel. Don't measure too tightly.
- Then, measure your hips at their widest part. The measuring tape should lie flat on your skin, but it should not press too tightly against your body.
The above measurements are sufficient to perfectly choose a garter belt for stockings.
How to measure stockings for varicose veins?
Anti-varicose stockings are a special type of stocking designed to prevent varicose veins, but also to relieve leg strain when you are standing or moving for long periods. Such a product has graduated compression, supporting blood circulation. Additionally, they shape your legs and optically slim your entire silhouette.
If you want to choose anti-varicose stockings, remember that they are most often available as a hold-up model. This means that you should proceed in exactly the same way as when choosing standard hold-up stockings.
Check the circumference of the middle of your thigh and measure your crotch height, and also choose stockings according to your height. You can also compare the size chart with your foot length. This way, you will order a size perfectly adapted to your measurements and achieve the best results.
