Can you tell me if these are preferable to the old-fashioned bed garters with elastic straps and alligator clips?

Terminology can differ from region to region, so my understanding of alligator clip may be different from yours. The type we had used previous to these used a method of attaching to the sheet that looked like what used to be used on ladies stocking garters. Those held the sheets slightly better, but these are much easier to attach and the tension is adjustable after they are attached - an outstanding feature. Over-all I like these better.

These don't seem to hold as well as the old-fashioned bed garters but I think it's because the clips are not very sturdy. One of the clips broke within the first week.

Yes these are preferred due to the strength of the bedbands. This brand will.not lose its elasticity.

I think so, if you have a medium build. I don't think the elastic is too strong to prevent that. They're lightweight, so they shouldn't bind too much either. All the best to you!

yes, they will take the "ugly" plastic hangers. I have some, but prefer the stronger, velvet covered ones so as not to leave any marks.............I truly, truly, truly love these things.....Can't understand why they are being discontinued by Bed,Bath and Beyond.

Yes, you adjust them to as tight as you want. The straps are thin and WILL break if you pull too hard. As I did. They are just what your paying for but they do look nice.

Belt loops are my preferences. I have used clip on bolsters in the past but have frequently had them ride up over the belt resulting in a dropped handgun.

Oh one other note: memory foam beds are more annoying because the material compresses. It may warp the material if you aren't careful. Plan accordingly, but the straps with harness makes moving long distances really easy and you won't even mind standing still while holding it (elevators).

No, they actually are better than the higher thread count, we are very pleased with the purchase.

This is a personal preference. I usually buy a size that is too large for my bed so I don't need a ruffle.

I know exactly what you mean. Because these hug the undergarment, they fit much better, and are flexible. They are softer than other commercial products and are far less irritating. Quite honestly, I find these are the best item for it's type out there.

Yes. I put the Boon Flair Harness (5 pt.) in an older Baby Trend and works just fine. You'll need a couple of clips for anchoring the strap ends (non-buckle) behind chair, but these are easy to find or manufacture. We have been using for over a year now with no problem. Sure beats trying to clean old straps!

Not should in which way that you are worried about but the strips are adjustable and elastic. I hope this info will help you some.

To be honest, I'm not positive. The waist straps may not quite make the cut. I think the arm straps would probably suffice. It sounds like 'reifnawss' might be a better person to ask, though his 285 is probably a bit more stretched out than your mother-in-law's, hence the waistband concern of mine.

Hello - no you do not need a garter belt to hold them up. The stocking is made of very snug elastic throughout but at top is a stretchy rubber gripper band that clings to your skin. It will need to be adjusted occasionally but does the job of holding stocking in place at top.

I would say yes.They do have a nylon-ish feel to them, and as such they aren't as thermally protective as a more cotton-based alternative might be, but I would feel comfortable wearing these even down in the 40s.

Ps) I just saw the exact same ones at Joann fabric. They aren't as cheap but maybe you could go take a look at them!

They are a little "stretchy" but no traditional elastic waist band. Hope this helps.

I agree with JCinTexas. If however your own laces are not elastic you would be missing half the benefit of Lock Laces.
