Worst feeling ever

[EmilyCD]

Today I decided to put on a pair of thigh highs under my jeans at work for the first time in a long time. After a few hours I got up from my desk and had to walk to another office, so when I got out of my office I could feel one of the thigh highs slipping down. I next thing I know it's down around my knee. Now, I work at a shipyard and if anyone ever found out dress it would be devastating. I I went to the bathroom and adjusted both thigh high and about 10 steps later both down around mynknees again on the verge of coming out of my jeans. I have used this brand before and never had this issue. I was scared to death that one was going to come out of the bottom of my jeans.

The simple answer is to not do that again.

I agree with Julia, thigh highs are fun, but it can clause you trouble in what your talking about. I would just say be careful sister, there is alot of guys out there need less than that to start causing trouble, i don't want to see a sister here get hurt Hugs.

I would have practised by walking around at home first.

You live and learn girl. You won't do that again!

I've had the same problem. Panty hose would be better.

[JenniferR771]

Good place for Polident denture adhesive--a band around each thigh. You could always get a garter belt; anyhow what is the problem--you are wearing them for warmth, right?

[Diane Elizabeth]

I have had the same problem. So, as Dana said -go with pantyhose the next time.

[BillieJoEllen]

I've never been able to wear thigh hi's more than once because after that the elastic always gives way. I do like wearing them though - but they get to be so expensive at that pace!

[Angelofsomekind]

I had that problem once, bought a garter belt, never happened again! And I love the feeling of the garter belt as well!

When I was roofing back in the 80's, I would wear pantyhose under my jeans to keep warm. One of the crew saw them, said something about it, and I replied respectively. He than asked an older worker about it, and he said," sure I've done it too when I got no long johns". Later in life I went to thigh highs and only had them slip down one. like your incident. I tucked mine down in my socks until I got home...I was building decks on houses than...around 99. I figured out that the elastic band on top was worn out.

What I have to do occasionally with my thigh highs between washings is moisten the rubber lining at the top with water to re-add some tackiness to it. At this point I know that they need washing because body oil has coated the rubber causing it to lose its grip.

[Sarasometimes]

Another use for duct tape! A little tough during removal! It could help to if you were discovered. they might give you a pass since you used duct tape for a garter!

Although I have only recently started cross dressing there was an incident in 1995 when I was working security in a rural town and it would get savagely cold. I had new guy learning the route and he asked me what I wore to keep warm. I said I wore a singlet, T-Shirt, work shirt, civilian jumper, Military jumper and my cortex jacket on top and Three pairs of woollen socks, pantihose, tracksuit pants and cargo drills below, with gaiters over my boots. He didn't say anything and we finished the run. The next night before shift a college of mine came up to me with a big grin. He said the new bloke didn't want to go out on the run with me. I asked why and he said "pantihose".
I said "what about them?"
My college laughed and said "The new bloke wasn't too happy when I told him I preferred women's tights personally."

Experienced this problem yesterday. Was wearing thigh highs under my pants while playing golf, but my pants and socks kept the left thigh high from showing as it fell to sock level. I have found that the Haines Silk Reflections, with the narrow band hold up much better than any others I wear. Have never had the problem when dressed. Only when playing golf or doing something that is very active.

[Dana7]

My SO disclosed to me on our first date that her thigh-highs began to fall down. This occurred at a concert held after dinner in a large convention center hall. She was terrified that everything would come crashing down, poor dear. It was a fairly formal event and there were several people there we both knew. Not a great situation, but she somehow survived it.

I can't remember what we did but it just reminded me that this can even happen to GGs.

I'd go with pantyhose.

[EmilyCD]

I have worn thigh highs numerous times before this and never had this issue. I am not sure why this happened on this occasion. With pantyhose thigh I get the waist band rolling down which is more annoying in my opinion.

[SmileS12]

The type I have always have 2 or three rubber rings, once wet, they just don't let go, so I rinse my finger and rub it all around the rubber rings...It grips so hard sometimes, that when time to take them off, it left a red mark, and stung a bit, but goes away fast.
Toodles,

Unless your legs are shaved, thigh highs will not stay up well.
Hair will cause them to slip.
Not sure if that is the problem.

[Karren H]

That's easily fixed. Stop wearing jeans!! You wouldn't have that problem if you wore a skirt!

[Erica Marie]

Thigh highs always pose that problem. After 1 or 2 times they start to slip. Go with nylons or tights, in the cold climate of WI I found leggings feel great beneath my jeans and they keep me warm too.

[Jenny Doolittle]

Dont forget the garter belt next time

[RenneB]

Just one word Emily, duct tape. Okay that's two words, sorry. Actually, make sure you picked the ones with the silicone strips on the inside at the top. I think they're called stay ups while the others require a garter belt, but I'm thinkin you already knew that. In that case, I'd go with spanx control hose and never worry about them falling down....

I remember in the 70's?80's? there was a product for guys called Mantyhose...

[Eve II]

Garter belt + it adds to the fun!

[docrobbysherry]

Underdressing:
All of the problems, none of the excitement!

[highheelqueen]

It had to be the jeans pulling them. but as the other gals said. Pantyhose is a much better way to go. Plus once you get a run in a pair. What eles can you wear them with. Hugz Sarah

[meri]

Do you work at Mystic?

[Alice Torn]

Just don't try using super glue!

[EmilyCD]

Don't get me wrong I like pantyhose but though highs are, normally, much more convenient. Plus I don't find it very comfortable wearing pantyhose without panties under.

No I work on the subbase and go to the shipyard in Groton sometimes

[suit]

worst feeling ever ....might be a " pop" in your head and the sound of blood pumping where it never has...that would be the worst feeling ! stocking sliding down ...minor.

[Stephanie47]

I've had my thigh highs slip down. I know it is the nature of the beast because I see women adjust their hosiery in public without thinking- kind of like the baseball player who dropped his pants on the field to make adjustments. Since I am retired I do not have to worry about extended periods of time in public without the ability to head to the bathroom to make adjustments. As others have stated, during the cold months change to pantihose and a plain nylon panty. Joe Namath wore them when playing. It is a lot easier to explain pantihose than to explain a garterbelt and stockings. Besides there is no guarantee the garterbelt clips will not show through.

[suchacutie]

Thanks for the warning. I've never had that problem but it's good to know it might happen!

[kimdl93]

Stick with pantyhose at work...lees likely to cause problems!

[Longing2be-Trisha]

Emily to cute of a story! You don't work at Electric boat or Mystic seaport do you? Boy
I miss that area Loved the summers at the beaches in that area!

Ditto on the Hanes silk reflections.
They're the best ones I've ever tried. They simply stay up like they're supposed to.

[Maria 60]

I thought things like this only happened to me. It was a few years back when i was walking in a mall and i was wearing stay-ups and a very good brand and i felt that they were starting to slip a little, i guess i got side tracked and forgot about them and then my wife was walking behind me and asked me what was hanging out of the bottom of my pants. When i looked down i seen the top of the stay-ups made like an umbrella over my shoe and i wasn't wearing socks. The funny part was the lacy top of the stay-up made it look like my shoe was made like that.

[Beverley Sims]

That skirt girl is still here,and there is nothing like being out in the middle of the ocean and not being able to swim.

[countrygirl]

For Amanda she likes to stick with pantyhose.

[cindy777]

I love stay ups as well but pantyhose are the way to go when out and about. Pantyhose will not cause you any unwanted situations like you experienced today. I normally wear either black or skin tone so if someone does see my pantyhose they look like socks or my skin. This type of situation I experienced a few years ago and never plan on having it repeated.

[Meg East]

For me thigh highs alway slide down. Since I don't like pantyhose, I stick to garter belts and stockings.

[Jonianne]

You can also try ladies trouser socks. They are more like thigh high tights and I always wear them when I go skating and they stay up very well. They also come in so many beautiful shades and patterns.

[jillleanne]

Ever heard of mini skirts and garter belts? Problem solved. Oh and shaving the legs smooth will help immensely.
