I like Marks and Spencers and I can buy online which means they get delivered.  As for suspender belts by preference is pleasure state it is good quality lasts forever and washes well.

M & S are the best holdups I've found. As for Sussie belts, What Katie Did are absolutely amazing. They are not the cheapest, but they look fab and never slip. They have 6 straps rather than 4 so they even keep seamed stockings straight.

I use and swear by good old marks and spencers for stockings and hold up used them for years and they are almost unbreakable

for suspender belts if you dont want the itsy bisty ones that places like anne summers do  then this one is great  its quite deep and i just cut out the knicker bit of them to get a perfect suspender belt and they are pretty hardwearing  and cheap and wash very well  the strap are detachable so you can put different ones on there as well i always keep the spair straps when the belt gets old so that i have plenty of spares

M&S sizing is up shit creek for me - small too small; medium too big.  Also, as I'm a clumsy cow who can ladder just about anything, I go for Matalan @ two quid a pair.

I got some great thick hold ups on ebay for an absolute bargain! But for really posh lacey one's I've yet to beat Jasper Conran hold ups! Love 'um!

Another vote for M&S lace top hold ups.

My favourite suspender belts are from What Katie Did (Maitresse) and SHQ

Oh how I loathe  hold ups and stockings but they seem to be as much part of the kit as my lube and condoms. I have.... ample thighs and M&S just don't cut the mustard although their autograph range is the only one I found that does semi opaque navy blue hold ups which are just about bearable. I make a big song and dance about taking them off as part of my "routine".

I actually once got a great pair from asda! But they don't seem to do them any more :(

Gonna give Matalan a whirl.

Thanks to whoever recommended M&S ladder resist hold ups, they are great!  I have skinny legs and boy do they keep their grip, and last, I will definately stick with them  ;D
