FAQs
What is the difference between hold-ups and stockings?
Hold-ups have a silicone band at the top to keep them in place, eliminating the need for suspenders. Traditional stockings typically require a garter belt.
How do I determine my size?
Ann Summers provides sizing based on UK dress sizes: X Small = 4-6, Small - Medium = 8-14, Large - X Large = 16-22, XX Large = 22-24. Measure your thigh circumference for the best fit.
Can I wear these with a suspender belt?
While designed to be worn without one, you can technically wear them with a suspender belt if preferred, though it is not necessary for them to stay up.
Are these suitable for everyday wear?
Yes, their comfortable design and secure fit make them suitable for everyday wear, as well as special occasions.
How sheer are the hold-ups?
They feature a sheer denier finish, designed to provide a flawless and natural-looking appearance to the legs.
What material are they made from?
The primary material is Nylon, offering a smooth and comfortable feel.
How long should the silicone band last?
With proper care and hand washing, the silicone band should maintain its grip for a considerable time. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing, which can degrade the silicone.
Troubleshooting
Hold-ups sliding down
Ensure the thigh area is clean and dry before application. The silicone strips may lose adhesion if applied over lotions or oils. Re-position the hold-ups carefully.
Discomfort from silicone band
Check if the size is correct. If the hold-ups are too tight, it can cause discomfort. Ensure the band is sitting flat on the thigh and not rolled or bunched.
Fabric snags or runs
Handle with care, especially when dressing and undressing. Avoid contact with sharp objects such as jewelry or rough surfaces. If a snag occurs, it may lead to a run.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
