Knee Highs

I have a question:

Does anyone know how to wear knee-high of thigh-high socks in a way where they don't keep drooping down? I love them, but I hate constantly having to stop to readjust them.

    Only trick I have heard was to either glue them to your leg with something like spirit gum or use double sided tape on them. I'll be honest I haven't tried either trick though.

    I've noticed that it depends on who makes the sock. I have some which like to slump down and others which don't

      There is such a thing as a sock garter--Sock Dreams has them. Haven't tried them, but the ankh ones are cute...

          There is a store in the East Village in NYC called Sock Man, I am pretty sure they have a website as well. I LOVE the store (all kinds of socks, hose, and gear) check it out :)

            Oh, yeah. I *love* going to the Sock Dreams site. I feel like Homer Simpson near a doughnut when I see the stuff there. Alas, I'm on a library computer and for some strange reason, they block the site. The reason? It's "pornography". What the...?

            Are you saying that the cheaper they are, the more they keep falling down? That explains things!

                This same blocker once blocked a favored site of mine that sold things like studded belts, dog collars, and other things like that. How the hell does that count a "pornography"?

    j-list.com sells glue specificly for holding up socks. japanese girls use it to hold up the super long "loose socks" that are popular. I have not tried it though.
