I have tried hold-up stocking but I don't feel comfortable in them. I love my tights to bits, they are so warm and comfortable. When tights came in to fashion in the late sixties when I was about eight I preferred the idea of tights as opposed to stockings. Also I have always had a fantasy about being a leggy chorus girl, it cant be fulfilled now in middle aged but none the less I would have loved to be show girl high kicking with my legs encased in some glamorous tights.
