Pantyhose of Choice?

[Ambrosia 1]

I never dreamed I would ever be able to wear dresses and skirts again but now I can! I haven't bought pantyhose in so long I don't even know what the best brands are.

Anyone have a favorite brand?

Thanks.

Well.....I go without them if at all possible!!!!! Hate them! But tights are really in this fall so I guess I better research tights!!!! Good Luck! And congratulations!

HA! I've worn a dress ONCE in the last 17 years (funeral) and it was a long one and I wore knee-highs. I don't think I have owned a pair of pantyhose since the mid-80's. Pantyhose and "the deep south" don't go very well together.

I think it depends what weight you are wearing

the hanes silk reflections are nice; I like really sheer hose so when I lose 30 more pounds I'll be in the donna karan sheers

(I try to avoid hose but sometimes for work you do what you gotta do!)

Thanks for the replies. I wish I could go without hose but being overweight for so long has reeked havoc on my legs. Vericose veins, spider veins, etc. So, they need to be covered up.

Thanks again.

If you're mainly concerned with comfort then look into the "Just My Size" brand...they're cut a little better for the "less than flat belly". I have to wear pantyhose all the time for work and there is NOTHING I hate worse than pantyhose that roll down off my belly in the middle of a meeting or while walking!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To be honest I started avoiding pantyhose when I hit about 260 because when I wore them they would roll down, or worse at the end of the day my thighs would be absolutely raw chafed. For a few years now I've tried not to buy anything that I couldnt wear nude toned compression knee-high stockings with. I still like compression hose from footsmart.com as they don't get runs and last forever plus they keep my ankles from swelling. I also bought some of their thigh highs which are really good because it's not as hot. I gave up wearing regular slips and discovered the culotte slips from roamans so no more thigh chafing when wearing skirts or dresses!
