Sankaku Channel/garter belt

An undergarment worn around the waist like a belt, with two straps on each side hanging down. These straps are clipped to stockings or thighhigh socks to keep them from falling down.

Garter belts are distinct from garters, which are simply scrunchy-like bands worn around the thighs, or more traditionally, just under the knee.
