Pantyhose wearer's, what is your favorite brand? I like to wear No Nonsense ultra sheer sandalfoot, for the comfort, the looks and the price.

I like the Leggs Active support for two reasons. First for the look and feel and the second it helps with the circulation in my legs caused by Diabeties.

I tend to buy leggs. No specific reason. When I am buying a new pair, I am looking for specfic color to go with an outfit not a brand.

No preference in brand... usually buy what is needed to go with a particular outfit!

Even though I do like Leggs, my favorite has got to be silkies, the kind you can only get through mail and internet order. They are soft, stretchy, and very durable, I like them a lot.

I love to wear pantyhose, especially after I have removed the crotch so that I can wear beneath or over the hose a pair of my sexy panties. Right now I am wearing my favorite brand which is a black pair of Victoria Secret's.

For my tastes, sheer to waist pantyhose are my favorite style. They are much more sensual than the control type in appearance as they reveal the middle torso from your stomach to the pubic area.

I voted “other brand” so I will specify. Since I wear pantyhose everyday even when I am in DRAB, to me they are part of my everyday clothing. So like GG’s I tend to wear the type of pantyhose, which is right for the time of day or the outfit.

So most days when I am just doing normal things I will wear the cheaper everyday pantyhose. These are 15 denier tan with reinforced toe and panty. For these they can be any brand at the moment I have my local supermarket brand where you get three pairs in a box for £5.00. During the winter months I wear the same type in the day, but dark colours like black or nearly black.

When I am dressing or going out even in DRAB I wear a brand name such as Aristoc Ultra Shine sheer to waist 10 denier, or Pretty Polly 15 denier sheer gloss which are sheer to waist.

I just love pantyhose and have worn most types at one time or another.

Well girls I prefer either Silkies Ultra TLC's or Berkshire Shimmer Sheers. They feel so good against the lags. There are both light and airy. I am wearing Berkshires thigh highs right now

I chose "other", beause I wear all kinds of different brands for different occasions or resons.

I usually buy no-nonsense, because they came in a size I could wear, and have the french cut panty.

Now that I've lost 55 lbs, I can wear Q sized Leggs, sheer energy or silken mist.

My wife bought be some different types in the Hue brand, which are nice.

And, I have several of the Delicates brand from JC Penny that are microfiber. some of these have the stripe up back.

Bernadina
03-21-2005, 11:17 PM
At least 4842 (maybe) brands of pantihose. And I've only tried 20 or so.

Secret toeless, Gievenchy when I can find them, Marks and Spencers (have to get to the UK for these), and for everyday wear under by drab clothes, Silks Energizers.

Mn.Marilyn
03-22-2005, 07:06 AM
My favorite brands are the J.C. Penny Delicates brand hose. I also like the Vasserette brand hose but can't find them in my size any more.

03-22-2005, 01:40 PM
Don't usually wear pantyhose, I prefer stockings and suspenders. And I'd like the ones with the silky finish that allows one leg to slide over the other like satin on satin. It would really feel good when your thighs rub against one another while walkinig. Does anyone else know a UK brand that does this, and the higher gloss finish the better? Oh, and it has to be black while I'm still in the closet.

Honestly I would like t buy a pair of every single pair available in the entire world but...... I dont have the money so I buy for pantyhose Leggs sheer panty and for thigh highs I buy Hanes silk reflections they are absolutly to die for.

Felicity
03-24-2005, 11:51 PM
There are higher quality ones I don't remember the names of, so I selected Haines also. I too prefer the Haines Silk Reflections when buying the common ones available.

I seldom wear panytyhose and prefer microfiber tights for the warmth, however, clothing sliding around the Silk Reflections is a sexy feel.

The only attire I want pantyhose for would be something like a vintage Playboy Bunny outfit. The sheer black is to die for, but everthing I ever find has reinforcement that is seen. I would like to find some pantyhose that do not have that ugly reinforcement in the crotch.

03-28-2005, 11:27 AM
I wear Activskins usually. http://www.activskin.com Other than that, I wear L'eggs Sheer Energy, sheer to waist. Suntan being my favorite.

Thing is, I wear pantyhose every single day. When the weather is warm, I wear with shorts in drab, to work, everywhere. My legs are never bare.

Tiffy
03-28-2005, 11:59 AM
I chose other because I use a mail order brand called Silkys. I do not seem to be able to put runs in them as easy as the others.

No nonsense sheer to the waist. Nude, off-black, tan.

Hi ToniB.

The thought of stockings rubbing against each other while you walk and when you cross your legs is a nice thought as well as feeling. Have you ever worn Nylons by PP?

I hope the foots getting along just fine.

Take care.

ToniB
03-28-2005, 06:53 PM
Thanks Sandra, the foot's doing fine, but I'm getting bored doing very little, and my wife is worn out with gardening today!

No, not tried PP Nylons. I'll keep it as a treat for when I'm back on 2 feet again.

ToniB
PS. I won't mention the Good Friday score. Wish I'd been there.

03-28-2005, 07:31 PM
I usually buy President's Choice, the top no-name brand. I usually get knee-highs and thigh-highs, always the same. When you get a run in one, at least you only loose half a pair. I have spent more on pantihose etc in the last six months than I have on men's socks in the past six years. Ever wonder why women's stuff is overpriced? wenda.

I've tried many brands of thigh high stockings. Oroblu makes the very silkiest I have ever worn. I get them from Figleaves.com. They aren't cheap though. This link should bring you directly to the ones that I buy. They a very sexy lace top that is 5 1/2 inches wide. The "Dor(skin)" color is a nude color that is a little darker than many nude colors but very pretty. They also have a reinforced toe.

http://www.figleaves.com/us/product.asp?product_id=OB-BASPRES&size=&cm_re=1-_-3x1-_-Image

I love these!

Geez! After I wrote this, I had to go put a pair and then come back to tell you about it! They really feel good! The new ones have a slight perfumed smell too (or course it goes away after being washed a few times).

I wear Higher state tights that come from the great canadain superstore here in canada. They are a lot more comfortable than regular panty hose and don't run no where as much either in other words they last about 10 times longer then regular pantyhose. i usually wear black blue, and light brown for colors .
a little expensive but well worth spending the money for them.

I've tried so many brands and styles over the years.... I used to wear Leggs years ago. But in the last 10 years or so, I've found that I prefer Hanes Silk Reflections almost exclusively, and prefer thigh-highs over pantyhose by 90% or more. I love the freedom that thigh-highs have from the enclosed crotch of pantyhose. However, lately I've been considering ordering a few pair of Hanes Silk Reflections French-Cut Barely-Black pantyhose, to give my thighs a break from the elastic bands on the thigh-highs.

I bought some off-brand at Wal-Mart last year, and was surprised how smooth they felt, and had amazing resistance to runs & snags. They literally lasted over a month, w/ almost daily wearing. Wish I knew the name.... think the package is around here somewhere - i like to keep packages &/or tags sometimes for my scrapbook.... here the package is - it had been standing up against my pc speaker a few months ago. They were George brand, silky sheer control-top sandalfoot pantyhose, nude. I really enjoyed them.

I usually order the Hanes Silky Reflections sandalfoot thigh-highs, in barely there & barely black. I've found that the barely-black are usually a bit shorter than the barely there - i know it sounds like i'm mental, but really - i'm just below 6' tall, and i've found that color always end up being pulled really tight to get them to my crotch. I've noticed the trend for several years now. I used to prefer the black hose over the barely-there, but i've began to prefer the look and fit of the barely-there these days.

Hi Jay.

Welcome to the forum it’s always nice to see another Brit join us. You will find we are a great bunch of girl’s here and you can always rely on someone to offer help and advice if you ever need any. We also love to hear about your life as a girl and all tips or advice are welcome. You may get one or two who have a moan every now and again, me included but it’s only that time of the month and it goes after a few days. Well that’s my excuse anyway.

Legg's sheer vitality. Love the feel, they are very soft and very sheer. I like the sizing too. I am tall, anf the Q+ fit perfectly. I just wish they came in more colors in that size. Silkies are nice too, just a little pricey.

I like Legg's Sheer Energy sheer to waist but it seems that they have changed them lately. The new ones seem to be softer and more matte and not as shiny or tight as the old ones. Does anyone else notice this or is it just me? :confused:

I prefer Hold Ups to Pantyhose, specially those with lacy tops, sheer and shiny. The brands I currently use, are Aristoc, Pretty Polly and Charnos.
I would love to try a pair of Wolford's Luxurious 'Magic Touch 12 hold ups', but they are so expensive I would be worried all the time I was wearing them, in case I laddered them.

Daniela
04-12-2005, 12:47 PM
my number one favorite is definately wolford. if any of you never tried on a pair of wolfords it will change your whole outlook on pantyhose. i bet if all those women who "hate pantyhose with a passion" tried on a pair of wolfords then they wouldnt mind wearing them one bit. they feel so f****** good. but they are very expensive for a pair of hose. my second favorite is leggs sheer energy, they are way lesss expensive and they also feel and look great.
and then there is always room for a nice pair of peavey high gloss hose!

I tend to buy Leggs Active support. I have found support hose give that silky feel that I love. Also, support hose with a regular or control top tend to stay where you put them! Less crotch sag through the day.

I have never heard anything but good about Pretty Polly Pantyhose. They must be wonderful. I have never seen them for sale in the US.

My mom used to wear silkies. I would try them on. The best silkies are the ones with the metallic looking panty section. They were neat and they felt nice.

I have never liked Hanes Silk Reflections. They aren't tall enough, and they feel like cardboard to wear.

I like Oroblu. Some styles have a V panel in the back. That is nice when they are worn backward, but they are an inch or two too short for my 6'3" frame. They were the first hose I ever wore as a guy with shorts in public. They will hold that place in my heart. Nice hose, but just too short.

Kathi-Anne
06-12-2005, 06:50 PM
My favorite pantyhose for everyday wear is the L'eggs Sheer energy, the Jet Black and the Suntan. I bought the Q+ and had no trouble getting these pantyhose up my legs. I also like to go to www.mytights.com. They have many different makes of pantyhose that are tailored for extra small to extra tall. I like WoMan. this is a Unisex type of pantyhose. They fit up to 6'7".
I also like the Peavey pantyhose that the Hooters Girls wear. Yes, they have their own brand of pantyhose. These pantyhose can be found at www.hotlegsusa.com.

Here in Australia, I buy the 'razzamatazz' brand and the style i buy are called 'silky support'. They are high quality and have 19% elastane for a smooth and flexible fit.

They are very comfortable to wear (especially all day), are durable (don't run easily) and come in a large range of colours.

They are by far the best pantyhose I have tried and basically its all i wear unless i need something particular to suit a special outfit / purpose.

Levante Classics. Also like Leona Edmiston Pins for richer colour.

I used to wear Kolotex Silks but they discontinued the colour I liked. I prefer tan shades - but currently the norm seems to be nude shades and black.

I prefer Haines Silk Reflections or Leggs Sheer Energy. I love hose that shine. Webster defines wonderfully what I like. "The state or quality of being bright or shinning; radiance; luster; sheen. Hanes SilkReflections cost a little more but they seem to last longer and they meet Mr Websters description. :D

carson
08-06-2005, 09:51 PM
I prefer the look of sheer to waist and I definately need something that feels silky, so my choices are at rather opposite ends of the price scale: Calvin Klein Invisible Control and Legg's Sheer Toe/Sheer Panty. The CK's just feel a little better when I want to splurge!

pinkpantyhose
08-06-2005, 10:45 PM
I prefer Wolford Individual 10's (Neiman Marcus has some on clearance right now for $15 or so, regularly $40). I loved the VS Signature Gold pantyhose...too bad they're almost impossible to find now.

But honestly, I prefer being a stocking gal. I only wear stockings with 6 or 8 strap garter belts with metal straps (unless on the rare occasion I'm traveling by plane, when I wear plastic straps because I don't want to set off the metal detector!). Order most of my stockings from www.stockingshq.com - LOVE Gio FF's and RHT's. Also order from www.secretsinlace.com - LOVE the FF French heel's.

Hi all
I prefer to wear hold-up stockings (thigh highs to our colonial sisters). But if pantyhose is to be worn then yes it has to be L'Eggs 'Sheer Energy' or 'Silken Mist' preferably in Coffee colour.

I only wear pantyhose (tights in the UK) the reason being it was my first female clothing I ever wore, so I guess it's a bit of a fetish for me.

I love Aristoc opquaes and 10 deniers. I also have Silkie's suntan for under DRAB in warmer weather.

I splurged $80 (CDN) on a pair of wonderful Wolfords, but have NEVER worn them as I am scared I might ruin them...

As a first choice in pantyhose, I like VS Body by victoria. The problem with the VS hose is a limited choice of shades. When I want some different shades, I will get Hanes Silk reflections.

Jodi
