obligatory I’m a (male) cross dresser and I like how hold ups feel. Bonus point because in winter they serve as a first layer under my other clothes.
I’m 5’ 12" tall, skinny built and months ago I bought a L size from falke. I adjusted them to the same height, walked about 10 minutes and suddenly the left one started to fall. The right one always stayed in place.
I don’t use lotions or creams but I never shave my legs, so maybe my (not so) hairy legs are the problem? If so, how come only the left hold up fell?
Should I fold the hold ups so the silicone bands touch when I’m not using them? does that help to keep them in good condition?
Does it help to clean the silicone bands with tepid water and a cotton cloth after use?
Would you advice to wear both hold ups and a garter belt? Seems to be too much and if I use a plane I’ll be outed (metal clips)
Wash the bands with warm soapy water, and you can try using alcohol to remove the oils on your legs to see if that helps. You can use thin plastic (I just save the bag I get them in) to keep the bands apart and free of lint while stored. I don’t shave, and haven’t had an issue with fine hairs reducing the staying power of the bands, but you may have more dense hair than I do
It could also be that they are simply too wide to stay on you, and this is what I’d bet is happening to you. They stretch a little while warm from body heat, and if it’s too wide there’s very little room to stretch before falling off. Generalized women’s sizes drive me nuts, a large in that brand would fit me at 5’3 and I highly doubt you and I share a thigh size. So my recommendation is that you try a brand for tall women, or at least find one that advertises a thigh measurement.
