As I recall, pantyhose were the first item of feminine apparel I bought for myself. I suspect this is often the case. It's sort of a rite of passage (so to speak). They certainly felt sexy at first. For years I wore them under my gentleman pants at work in the winter for added warmth. This kind of took the edge off and, to be honest, I don't care for them much these days. They're great for showing some leg with short skirts, but more often I'll wear leggings or colored tights. You have to keep some around, but their tendency to get runs makes them less practical to me.
