Pantyhose - did they help change any mannerisms

[NancyDrew1930]

With the Christmas season upon us (and as I write I have an old 33 called "First Christmas Record for Children" from like 1964/66 on the turntable---it's bringing back memories of Christmas as kid, especially a track where its a story about a Christmas tree's purpose on Christmas!  And I don't recall hearing on modern recordings stories like they put on these old LP's from the 60's and the stories or story songs they wrote for little kids, but everyone of all ages!  Of course on this LP, at one point Santa tells the little tree about some Cold War Era troubles behind the Iron Curtain!) I bought some new Sheertex pantyhose a week ago (2 black and 1 oat milk), and I'm loving them.  I've tried some pantyhose by Warner's and others in the past, but I found that they always tore when I first put them on, no matter how delicately I put them on and that I had bought the largest size. 

When you first began wearing pantyhose (or I guess in the UK they are just called tights, but here in Canada I have always heard them called pantyhose, with tights being for little girls and nowhere as sheer as pantyhose) did you find that the way you moved changed?  Like, if you needed to pick up something, did you find that the pantyhose forced you to bend with your knees close together and do the "Z" bend, whereas without you just bent?

Also did anyone say anything to you about your legs the first time you wore pantyhose?

I prefer tights, especially in winter. If I wear them out, they are under my pants for warmth, not decoration. I like the feel of them, but it made no difference in how I bend. I can see where that would change if wearing a skirt or dress, but not for hose in general.

A bigger effect on how you move is your footwear. 
I changed the clocks last night wearing 2inch stilletos. 
It was difficult at first but I quickly adapted they are easy to wear this morning.
It helps that I walk for hours on the golf course.

At this point I still need to try some of the finer tights that may be more likely to tear. So far I've worn thicker ones eg bold red to match my outfits etc. But will soon get some thinner ones so you can still see my legs through them.

Now I'm wearing leggings under dresses as it's cold!

I'll feedback when I try some more.
