Great ideaThat Guy wrote:I have the same question, as well. For now, I leave the stockings on, but I fold back the top of the stocking so that the silicone is face up, when not needed. I can fold it back up easy enough, if I want it back. Until I learn otherwise, this is what I do.

Which is another reason, just folding back and down a little, will remove the strain on the hoseiry top as well.smallcat wrote:Also on a side note I wanted to mention which bothered me, I forgot a bout, depending on stockings, how tight the band is on upper leg where it ends, it can actually leave a impression where the band which holds it. I had to slice the bands so avoid this issue, and now works great.

Re: TPE Dolls and the Silicone Strip On Stockings
I love lace top stockings, I find them extremely sexy.
Unfortunately all of them I’ve seen have these adhesive bands. Which works incredibly well for a real girl, and possibly equally as well for a silicone one, but for the girls of TPE I have had the same concerns.
Which brings another variable, TPE blends. My Maxine is so up to this challenge, but her TPE might be different than others.
I mention this because she wears a wig with a black net cap, putting this same wig on my Kitty caused some tiny spots to appear within hours.
On Maxine, she’s wore that same wig for literally years without any staining.
So based in this obvious inconsistency in reaction. I would assume the same different result my be encountered with the silicone bands of lace top stockings.
My 2¢ (or $2.00)

Re: TPE Dolls and the Silicone Strip On Stockings
I got a pair of those stockings with an attached garter, they are almost impossible to get on! But we managed and Hiyoko wore them the other night, they look great. But be patient, first work the garter on as far as you can and then get her foot started in the top of the stocking without scrunching them up like you'd normally do. Hiyoko wore them for a few hours, no ill effects.Bonander wrote:Thanks for the responses. I fold down even the stockings without the strip. Just in case. Some stockings are still pretty tight. I picked up some pink stockings with the strip along with a new black pair, that doesn't have the strip, but has an attached garter belt instead. I have mixed feelings on what to do with those. They aren't too easy to get on a TPE doll, but the stockings would work if I cut off the garter. On the other hand, they are really easy to get on my fabric doll, but would not stay up without the attached garter. Decisions, decisions. LOL.

Re: TPE Dolls and the Silicone Strip On Stockings
That's unfortunate to hear. The difference in TPE blends sure do make it hard to pin point problems. I suppose some minor testing will need to be done to see if it will harm my doll. Stockings for now because she is almost always in them. An easy cover up if it does have an effect. I do have a strapless bra with that strip. It was one of the few bras I had that fit her well. I'll hold off on testing that one out.Fantastic Plastic wrote:This question was addressed before, I forgot who mentioned that the silicone bands did leave an artifact/damage behind as a shiny effect.
I can find stockings without the strip easy enough online. My tastes are pretty boring though. Give me a black sheer top stocking, and I'm good. But the local adult shop that opened near me only has stockings with the strip. It would be nice to be able to support a local business.
It's hard to tell for sure, but those look different then the style I got. Mine are basically one piece of clothing. They look like stockings attached to a waist garter belt made of lace. I have to put them on her like pantyhose, but with huge holes in the upper thighs, lol. I should have taken a picture when I had them on her. But they are new, and black. I didn't want them on her long. I might wash them again.BillMartin9029 wrote:I got a pair of those stockings with an attached garter, they are almost impossible to get on!

Just an aside, that is a terrific close up shot of her legs!

Thanks Kevin, hard to take a bad photo of a girl's legs in black stockings.kevinth1985 wrote:Just an aside, that is a terrific close up shot of her legs!

Bonander - I know which panty hose you're talking about with the garter belt top. Thought about getting those and they do look like may be a struggle to get on.
Back to your original question. Hiyoko also has a pair of stay up thigh highs with the silicon bands, she has worn these for a couple hours, no problems. For longer wear, yeah I turned the tops back to keep the bands off the skin. The pair we bought our Hanes on Amazon, 8 bucks: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000F ... UTF8&psc=1

Plus I can then experiment on repairing it if possible.
Re: TPE Dolls and the Silicone Strip On Stockings
For garter/tights, get the tights with an extra layer outside, so the strip from garter does not need to contact the doll leg directly.
