Stockings – Sensual Elegance for Every Desire
Which type of legwear suits me?
Choosing the right stockings can make the difference between an evening of discomfort and a night you won't soon forget. At NovusEros, you will find three main varieties – each with its own advantages:
1. Hold-up Stockings (Stay-ups)
Do you want seductive legs but have no desire for clips and garter belts? Then hold-ups – also known as stay-ups – are just the thing. They feature a silicone coating on the inside of the top band, allowing them to adhere to the thigh on their own.
- Advantage: You don't need a garter belt, and they remain virtually invisible under tight clothing.
- Note: Do not use body lotion or oil on your legs before putting them on, as this will reduce the grip of the silicone edge.
2. Stockings (for Garter Belts)
For the ultimate classic lingerie look, choose stockings designed for garters. These do not have a silicone rim and will not stay up on their own. You attach them to a garter belt or a corset.
- Advantage: Often the first choice in the bedroom because the act of clipping them on is particularly sensual, and the look is very classic and seductive.
3. Tights and Bodystockings
In addition to individual stockings, we also offer tights and bodystockings. Unlike stockings, these cover the entire lower body up to the waist.
Variants: Opt for crotchless tights for intimate moments without needing to remove them, or choose fishnet tights for a confident, striking look.
Styling – From the Bedroom to the Street
Legwear is incredibly versatile. A pair of luxurious 20-denier stockings by Ballerina looks excellent under a business dress or skirt, providing a polished, elegant look. In private settings, feel free to play with different textures: fishnet for a daring touch or stockings with a back seam for that irresistible 1950s retro style. Combined with high heels and a babydoll, they visually lengthen the leg and perfectly highlight your silhouette.
All About Denier and Transparency
When buying stockings, you will frequently encounter the term "Denier." It describes the fineness and transparency of the material.
- 15–20 Denier: Very transparent and particularly fine. Ideal for festive occasions, warm days, or erotic outfits. Many of our models from Ballerina and Fantasy fall into this category.
- 30–40 Denier: Semi-transparent. These stockings provide a bit more warmth and are less delicate, but still allow the skin to shimmer through slightly.
- 50+ Denier: Opaque. They no longer show skin and are warmer and more durable.
How to Properly Care for Your Stockings (Care Instructions)
Nylon and lace are delicate materials. Follow these tips to avoid ladders and enjoy your legwear longer:
- Putting them on: Watch out for sharp fingernails or rings. Carefully roll the stocking down before sliding your foot in.
- Washing: Ideally by hand in lukewarm water. If you use a washing machine, always use a laundry bag to protect the material from zippers on other clothing.
- Drying: Never put stockings or tights in the dryer. Heat damages the elasticity (elastane) and the silicone grips.
Frequently Asked Questions about Stockings (FAQ)
What is the difference between hold-ups and normal stockings?
Hold-ups feature an adhesive silicone rim that ensures they stay on the leg by themselves. Normal stockings do not have this coating and must be fastened with garters.
What size should I choose if I have long legs?
If you have particularly long legs, we often recommend choosing one size up (e.g., L/XL instead of S/M). This ensures the stocking sits high enough on the thigh without being overstretched.
What can I do if a ladder (run) starts?
With fine materials, ladders are sometimes unavoidable. A well-known emergency fix for small holes is a dab of clear nail polish or some hairspray – this prevents the run from spreading further.
What does "Denier" mean for stockings and tights?
Denier (often abbreviated as DEN) is a unit of measurement for the fineness and thickness of the fibers used. Basic rule: the lower the number, the finer and more transparent the material. The higher the number, the thicker and more opaque the legwear.
