Well i a sitting here bored out of my mind at lunch so I wanted to see what brand everyone likes or would recommend. I have worn pantyhose for what seems lie forever. I wear JC Pennys sheer caress total support. They seems to hold everything in the best and help with my varicosities too and the price not bad at $9 a pair. Of course i turn them inside out because they are softer that way. If any one has some good ones add to list bye

Everything I've bought up to now has come from Target. Then again, I'm pretty well sized for what they have, and don't have any basis for comparison. I've only bought tights (I'm wearing a pair now, so don't ask me to take them off and check the label!) but, they're the "house brand" for target). The pair I'm wearing now are my fav's -- black with tiny red dots. I think they cost something like $4 - $5 a pair

I've had good luck with Sears Nice Touch Pantyhose, you can get them from regular to firm support in more sizes than just about any other brand and they range from $2.75 to about $9.50 a pair. They have what they call a sheerly reinforced toe, it is reinforced but not enough darker to notice, they can be worn with open toes and look great! They are also very silky right side out!

Love ya,

Sally

Hose - No Nonsense Smart Support - I really like them, they fit me way better than Leggs, feel better, and last much longer. Usually 3.50 to 4 bucks.

Tights - Leggs Microfiber Silky Tights - Awesome!

Pantyhose are a terrible buy - I always ruin them - so I buy medium quality and expect maybe four wearings. I have bad luck with inexpensive brands. Dillards carries a great selection - and Tall Queen fits best for me - so they are available. Haynes Silken are very nice - but whatever is on special works. The control top type keeps me from having to wear that... well ... specialty thing for concealing my equipment.

But Tights last forever - great in the winter,

And knee highs are relatively inexpensive for us jeans type gals. And trouser socks - buy them by the multi-package.

Danskin for tights...longs because I have looooong legs...a little pricey but as long as I don't run around without shoes in the swamps here when I'm gator 'rasslin...they last for a VERY long time...the ones from Target are good but the have these bizarre control bands that start at about mid-thigh and that just seems strange...LOL but then they're like 3 years old or something maybe they changed. Hose??? I can wear stay ups, garters are just way too much hassle for me...pantyhose are too...and with stay ups if I do snag one a second pair make three<groan>When I do buy them...and I have some in Blk/Wht/Nude they're from WalMart, I am certain they're by George (I guess that's an inside WalMart joke...By George yuk yuk yuk). Mainly though I'm barefoot and a country girl...sometimes I'll wear leggings the heavier the better about capri lenght...so my tootsies are out there...it just makes them happy. Kelly Ann

If you look around you'll find fewer and fewer women wearing pantyhose. I saw a report online that claimed the number was down to, don't quote me, 10%.

I don't, and never have, worn pantyhose on a regular basis. I have some, but it's strictly for special occasions that come up about once a year. Like last week I had a formal dinner party to attend.

I have noticed the trend away from pantyhose, back in the 70s I thought that if you manufactured pantyhose especially black pantyhose that you ahd to be rich - the perfect product women wore them everyday and they don't last very long. Planned obsolesence at it's finest - replace this item every 4 uses (if you were lucky).

Sadly now with the trend away from pantyhose we see why some of these women should still be wering them in spite of style - cottage cheese only looks good in a half a peach not on a woman's thighs! Horay for spandex!

Serious support hose for me,

Well I don't wear pantyhose on a regular basis so can't say which is best but I do like stockings and knee highs but still trying to find the ones that I like the best that won't get ruined to quickly. There is just something about a nice pair of stockings that makes you (or at least me) feel incredibly feminine and sexy, even if no one else sees them or knows they are there :blush:

I have many different brands. Hanes, No Nonsense and leggs. I'm not partial to any one brand. I love my pantyhose. They feel good and they make my legs look better, more feminine.

gosh, i can't wait to wear pantyhose more than i am right now... seriously, i love them! i love how they look, and i love how they feel. i am working towards getting my life to a point where i can wear them daily.

this thread was really helpful in comparing brands, but i think i am going to stick with no nonsense... only because that is what mia was putting on in the back of the limo in princess diaries...

did i mention i love anne hathaway and want to emulate her as much as possible? :blush:

      just found a cute pair of denim shorts with flowers embroidered in two places on the front ... daring myself to wear them around family today ... the flowers match the deep rose of the t-shirt I just bought...

      Not to justify it, but this is what happens when folks rely on accepting money from the government.  It just isn't secure!  When the times change and different winds blow, you find yourself coming up short on funds.  Don't trust the feds, don't trust the state.    I don't believe in separation of church and state.  I believe the USA is a Christian nation, but that Congress doesn't make an establishment of which kind of church that refers to.  Reading the writings left by the Founders (who were mostly Christian or Deist), I think it is pretty clear that they wanted to avoid the bloody Protestant vs. Catholic conflicts that had been going on in Europe for the previous 250 years.    I think one huge problem is that we've had a separation of culture and state already.  There's been an abandonment of traditional American culture, or at least a significant change in it.  People often act servile, not independent.  People seek government help rather than taking care of themselves and those around them.  Its like everybody is waiting for an answer, like baby birds in the nest chirping to have something delivered to them from up above.    To me, the federal government has two purposes - to keep foreign forces and influence out of our territory, and to tax foreign trade to protect domestic economy.  They've pretty much failed at both. 
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      Actually, yes!  Its how I met my two trans friends.  My husband helped to arrange jobs and housing for both of them.  And in the process, they also fell in love, and so far their relationship is going well.  I'm glad to have been part of helping out.

      I am not sure what "it" you are asking about.  The surgery, or the increased urgency of peeing?   I haven't felt any increased urgency.  I can hold it for as long as I used to, I think.  One thing that is different is that, once I start, it is almost impossible to stop the flow.  My pelvic floor physio said I had really good control of my pelvic floor muscles, but it didn't help with that.   My goal for surgery was just to have a female body.  I think I was foreseeing the persecution that is rising now.  Part of my reasoning, though I didn't plan it out clearly in those terms, was that I would be able to pass a strip-search gender check.  I was thinking more about passing in locker rooms, but passing in police lineups may be more necessary if certain political elements get their way.  
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      Wow.  That's crazy that somebody just comes onto your private place and starts demanding stuff.  You're absolutely right to press charges.  It seems like there's very little respect for private property these days. 
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      Actually, my husband has two different job titles at his company.  He's transportation manager, and also one of the project managers.  Its funny because he's got an office in the main building, and a smaller one in the transportation building, and he's rarely in either one.  He's got three site foremen who report to him, and also the shop supervisor and drivers' supervisor.  So he usually spends his days at installation sites, meeting clients, or handling all the paperwork that keeps the transportation side of the business compliant with FMCSA rules.    But he's definitely a truck driver by personality, and he taught me how to drive and helped me get my CDL.  Kind of a backup option for a job if I ever needed one.  I think this week is going to be one of those "all hands on deck" kind of occasions, so we'll probably take a load or two.  I'm looking forward to it.  Its really funny when I'm driving and we get into a truck stop.  I get out of the cab, and I get a lot of stares because of my size and looking like I'm a teenager.  And we get more stares when we share a shower.

      Yep, this thing is a red flag that people should be super aware of on this site.  I've been working from home exclusively for 12 years.  I'm a house cat like that, so this isn't much of a deterrent for me.  I've been venturing out into the women's restrooms a little bit lately, but as is typical of people like me, I'm just in there to do my business and get out.  I avoid that as much as I can and use those single bathrooms whenever I can.  I went over a year without going to a public restroom.  I just don't go out much.   I haven't stood to pee in 7 years now.  The idea of surgery is very, very scary for me (I wrote a book about it).  I'm likely going to do it though.  I would like some evidence from other transwomen of what it is really like.  I'm not one to take plane flights, but taking a flight for that is well justified.  Before my testosterone was blocked, there was a much larger sexual side to M->F transition.  Now sexuality plays a back seat to the idea of wanting to pee like a woman.  It's always been in my mind, but the desire for that has grown.   Respectfully, Lydia_R

      I've gotten to the point lately where I'm thinking of the extension of the separation of church and state to separation of culture and state.  Government's purpose to ensure a construct of civility.  Food, clothing, shelter and justice for the individual.  That includes the roads as far as they pertain to the distribution of food, clothing and shelter.  And "ensure" is different than "provide".   I think that there is no way to truly express yourself or have a good foundation without having a personal culture.  I like telling stories and teaching lessons through my culture, but I always hope that people don't think I'm promoting my culture beyond it just being visible as an option.

      I would imagine the GOPers are holding that by bull in their hand and paying attention to the Trump version with the nine commandments highlighted.

      Having to call the police on a woman that was being a Karen.Was in my shop fixing my car and wanted me to fix hers.Told her it was my personal shop and told her no.Would not take no for an answer and called the police.I did decide to press trespassing charges on her.I knew she was one of those entitled people

      It is scary, (and as you say, thrilling) at first.  But the more you do it the easier it gets.  I dress fem 24/7 (almost always skirts and dresses) and I live in a conservative county of a "red state".   Sure, there are places I avoid, but I have little desire to be there anyway.  It gets to just be part of who you are.   My experience is that most people don't care, some are curious, and surprisingly many (usually other women) friendly.   The first steps are the hardest.  It's similar with bathrooms.
    • Ivy
      Don't know how this posted itself.  To continue…   There was a time when I tried to make excuses for them.  But I am coming to the realization that in their eyes, I, and those like me, are 2nd class citizens at best.
