Pantyhose

[Guest *Charlotte P*]

Getting back into pantyhose as a convenience as stockings are great but can be a pain for everyday wear..

Besides Wolfords which are so pricey, what are the best/longest lasting pantyhose for everyday wear??

I know that best is so subjective but longest wearing should be pretty objective..

Just got 4 pairs of "On the Go" from wallyworld, anyone have any experience with these..used to wear leggs all the time, but it's been a while..

Thanks,

Charlotte

Hi Charlotte,

I have used Leggs for years - but just realized that I haven't bought nylons in over a year now. They're falling out of my everyday wardrobe, whereas when I was only part-time, I was wearing them alot. But, the Leggs do survive a fair amount of abuse. My nails have snagged in them and they haven't run - always surprises me.

Thanks for the reminder, however - I really enjoyed wearing nylons, and have to find reasons to wear them again.

Love, Megan

I find that support hose are best for longevity. I prefer Legg's sheer energy , active suport and Hanes Alive as my go to brands. hanes is the best but cost the most. they are cheaper at the outlet malls and online at one hanes place.com if money is tight I have bought cheaper legg's support brand from walmart but if i remember right they only come in CT and reinforced toe but wear well

If you live in Florida leggings and tights probably are a bit much

given the weather, but up here in the Northwest they are a godsend!

When I lived in Seattle, I remember guys who went skiing in the mountains would tell me that they wore pantyhose to keep warm without losing flexibility from thicker garments. Since they are so versatile, I hope they never die......

The heat isnt a problem that you might think, but there are other benifits to wearing hose when its hot aswell. the back of my legs do not stick to my chair.

I'm with you Janice. Love leggings and tights.

I used some today, and garnered a clothing compliment from my therapist, my outfit from head to toe was: brown headband, tan satin shirt, green v-neck sweater, push up bra, diamond patterned hose(black and grey), a print patterned skirt (black and grey), black boots. Accessorized with leaf earrings, a watch and green leaf/floral enamel bangle. It's not a typical outfit around localy, but it worked fine in public today, nothing but Mams, and the public ignoring me, that's the goal.

The pantyhose were from Wally's a couple years ago. Mid weight patterned hose, sorry I could not tell you the brand. No exposed knees allowed when temps are in the 20s F

Hi. Came by, when I saw one of my favorite topics "Hosiery". It may have been posted somewhere else before but I learned of an old technique to increase the life of almost all pantyhose you purchase.

It was brought to my attention some time ago in an article a friend shared with me, that putting your hose in the freezer for a night will strengthen the fibers thereby making your hose last longer.

I've found this to be true and place all my purchases in the freezer for a night. I just put them in, package and all.

I also love a lot of color and I wear a lot of tights. I'm a really big women so I'll share the place I go mainly.

We Love color.com-- They make well fitting plus size pantyhose tights and a few other things and they are not too expensive. And, they have a standard set of choices of 50 colors.

A example of durability; I just started to get a hole in the leg of an old pair I've had for almost two years.

Hoping that may help someone with the issue.
