What Brand Do You Wear

[Guest brain(katie)]

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

Used to wear Target, then found you can buy 4 pair for $5.00 at Walmart .and they last along time.........................Good quality all sizes available. Mia.

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

Pantyhose is the devil!

(which is why I don't wear it)

Great answers!

[Guest Leah1026]

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.

sign me Plain Jane.

Here's an article from last year on how pantyhose use is down and most companies no longer consider them mandatory:

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,

If you watch SIx Feet Under ,there's and episode where Claire does a great Daydream Burlesque about pantyhose.

[Guest DeniseNM]

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

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.

[Guest Felicia Anne]

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?
