Pantyhose brand

[luisa3]

What Pantyhose brand is a good choise?

I use Pretty Polly 7 den shear tan color. They feel good very soft, but they get run's very often.
I feel very sexy whit them on, even under a jeans trausers.
Give me your friend opinion.

I've always preferred L'eggs, No nonsense and Just My Size. As for tones, I've always liked Suntan, Off Black and Beige. I've also found that pantyhose with too much Lycra tend to be too tight like a second skin, so I also prefer to go for more nylon.

Are you using them as pantyhose, or to make gaffs out of?

If the latter, keep an eye on the JustMySize website.  From time to time they have slightly-imperfects available for $5.50 a bag of four or thereabouts.  I don't care if they're imperfect as no one will see them, anyway.  And at that price I can by a bunch at once and be set for a while (Kinda' like buying in bulk at Costco or Sam's Club...)

Hi Luisa,
Hanes has some very good pantyhose.
But remember you get what you pay for so don't buy the rel cheap kind.

Hue is also a good brand.

You know, I have to be honest.  I HATE pantyhose. I really do, sorry!   

Heh... Me too. Something really old-fashioned about them. Can't see the point of wearing them underneath work trousers, although I usually wear knee-highs with my heeled boots and on really cold days something a lot thicker.

Sometimes they're necessary for 'the look' -- say for a formal dinner gown or somesuch.

As my legs do NOT look smooth and perfect, if I want/need to wear stockings/pantyhose I have to 'prepare the surface', and wear a pair of appropriate-colored opaque tights underneath.  Voila!  Perfect, smooth (appearing) legs with stockings on.  But for everyday wear?  NO!  Too much hassle.

Agreed.  I know I haven't felt like wearing anything besides jeans lately.  It's just too much hassle to get all dressed up.  As for wearing them under slacks...um, no.

These days panty hose is reasonably priced and often discounted and I often but the value packs.  For me the most important issue is the fit.  They may be a great brand but if they don't fit you may as well not wear them.  I don't mind wearing either tights or pantyhose they are part of my every day wear, especially in the winter months.  For me wearing pants or jeans all the time gets boring after a while so I always switch back and forth with skirts and dresses.  Getting runs in your hose is a pain and it happens at the most inconvenient of times so to counter this I always have an extra pair at work, or in my purse, just in case.

Since not everyone will necessarily have a backup pair in every color to carry with them, sometimes it's more convenient to carry around some clear nail polish, which you can apply to stop the run from getting bigger.  Then you don't have to worry about making sure a backup pair would go with your outfit.

Hello... 
I like Leggs control top.. have bought the bargain brands and they didn't last long and stretched out too much...

I like No Nonsense "Silk Indulgence" and L'eggs "Silken Mist."  (I admit that these are the only styles I've tried.)  They cost $4/pair where I buy them (Rite-Aid, hehehe), are comfortable, and seem to last pretty well.

I only wear them under pants, because I don't shave my legs.  They still feel good and keep me warm when it's cold out.
