- The GirlyGoGarter® with GentleFlex™ Grippers is the smart, sexy garter with pockets that safely holds your phone, cash, credit card, ID, lip gloss, and more! Put the GirlyGoGarter® on your clean, lotion-free, bare thigh (or over fishnet hosiery). Stretch the garter tight around your thigh and secure it with the Velcro at the back of your leg. Load your necessities in the pockets. Don't try to wear the GirlyGoGarter® over nylons, pantyhose or pants - it won't stay put unless it's gripping your bare skin. Don't put lotion on your leg before putting on the GirlyGoGarter®. Anything between the grippers and your clean, bare leg will cause the garter to slip down. Don't close the Velcro and then pull the GirlyGoGarter® up your leg like a stocking. It won't stay up unless you stretch the grippers around your thigh AND THEN attach the Velcro tightly. Lotions or oils on your skin can reduce the "stickiness" of patented GentleFlex™ grippers. Simply wipe grippers with a cotton ball soaked in rubbing alcohol to return them to their original grip. GirlyGoGarters® can be hand-washed or put in the washing machine on the delicate cycle. GlitzyGoGarters® must ONLY be hand-washed - never put in the washing machine. Also, NEVER put any of our garters in the dryer, as this will ruin the patented grippers.
