I know of few women that like to wear stockings or pantyhose. Just special occasions. I think that if it wasn't for us the nylon hosiery business would go bust.

I wear high denier hose or tights to hide my leg hair that I really can't shave. I really look on them as functional only but there's no way I'm going to wear a dress or skirt without. On the other had, boots as someone mentioned are a love of mine and I adore how they look.
SO dosen't like panty hose either. I on the other hand like hose. I especially enjoy thigh high's with garters, belt or waist nipper or corset, get my meaning. Panty hose are also great just harder to find in the right size.

I love the feel of pantyhose on shaved legs and yes they do help to even out the minor flaws we all have. My wife wears them maybe once or twice a year for a special occasion.
I suspect the bare legged look really became popular after the TV show Sex and the City, but in all honesty how many GG's over 30 still have the stunning legs of their youth. A nice pair of hose can really give a polished look to most outfits.
I love wearing pantyhoses, but my wife hates them, because they itch her as she says.
My wife had this problem, but kept trying different kinds of pantyhose until she found some types that didn't make her itch. Hating all pantyhose because some pantyhose itch is like hating all hamburgers because some taste bad.Quote:

It totally drives me nuts! I have become a bit of a pantyhose fanatic and am cursed with obsessing over the right hose to wear. Pantyhose are not just pantyhose. Deciding on the right color, sheerness, shine or pattern can turn any outfit into a real head turner.
I wish more women enjoyed wearing pantyhose as much as I do :)

Guess I'm in the vast, almost non-existent minority on this. I've never seen the point of pantyhose. Granted I do think dark tights look really good with a skirt during the winter, but that's about the only situation where I think it even looks good. I'm not even a big skirt/dress wearer, further enforcing my choice to not wear pantyhose.
Throw things at me and boo me off the stage, but that's my opinion and I'm sticking to it. :)
Yes I love the pantyhose - absolutely. My wife, on the other hand, hates them. It's fine though - she is free to dress as she wishes and I love her all the same for it.
But when she does wear pantyhose, I do get all wired and charged up, and I end up passionately ravaging her!
Also: pantyhose can be worn with open-toe shoes - just wear sandal-foot (rather than reinforced toe). (No toe-notch sandals with pantyhose though).
Two reasons I've heard consistently against pantyhose from some women I know are: 1. It's very uncomfortable mainly in the waist area, especially the waistband around the stomach; and 2. it keeps sagging down.
nevertheless, i love pantyhose.
Sexy sheer hose/tights are gorgeous and i envy my girl wearing them as much as i admire her for putting them on,They finish off sexy office attire to a tee!I love it when she walks in from work dressed in them,all the while reminising about me in a similar outfit a few hours earlier.....mmmmm!
I do understand your frustration at her not liking them though!Does she not like stockings either?
My wife wears pantyhose and those damned Spanks regularly to work. I know a lot of younger women are going without hose, but it was a dress requirement at my last job. Also, I notice that my step daughters often wear tights rather than nude hose. So, I think its really a matter of fashion sense for them.
As for me...I like wearing tights and nylons (either pantyhose or thigh highs) partly because of how they feel and how my legs look.
my SO wears stay ups 8 months of the year when she has on dresses and skirts.....which she does alot. She will wear nude sheer hose with skirts and boots or shoes and it looks fantastic, She also wears tights and leggings.
She is not a fan of pantyhose for the reasons listed in above posts however does wear them occationally when colder out with skirts. never wears pantyhose with dresses as she says they show a line on her waste as most of her dresses are tight fitting. Now i am in pantyhose nearly all the time, she likes the way they make my rear look and they have this way of making me more submissive to her. She says i listen better when i am in them........
btw i travel alot and am seeing alot more women in nude hose, alot more than couple years ago......

I love pantyhose and my wife does not. All the reasons cited above can apply.
I love that thread - it boils down to the point of why men dress as women.
It is obvious that we do not wear the same things for the same reasons, for instance no women in her right mind would wear pantyhose or a bra to sleep...
To make a comparison, rare are the men who enjoy wearing a shirt and a tie all day and they would certainly consider insane whoever would wear such attire to bed.
Often women dress up to impress other women, not to seduce men or because they like complicated outfits.
Trying to be honest with myself and reading GG's and CD's accounts, I gathered a few thoughts:
#1 - There is a search for security and comfort in wearing feminine items, it acts like a pacifier or Linus' blanket; it's a return to the womb.
#2 - Most men also have sexual fantasies involving their mother, whether they admit it or not.
#3 - Most crossdressers started by wearing their mom's stuff - See #1 & 2.
#4 - Every human mind is a blend of male and female traits, with more male traits in men and more female traits in women. therefore it is natural to have a feminine side.
#5 - You don't need to dress as a women to express your feminine side, although the roleplay makes more sense that way.
#6 - Men who are not crossdressers are also in search for security and comfort, they just find it in big breasts or other features.
#7 - To maintain social order, society condemned #1 to #5 and approved #6, leaving the rest of us to deal with their guilt, shame and other negative feelings.
Coming to peace with crossdressing will imply CDers to search deep inside their mind what realy is there. I don't think there is anything wrong with feeling good wearing pantyhose yet I am cautious not to hurt my wife's feeling by showing it off. She, too, wants security and comfort in bed, but her things is hugging a pillow, or better, holding my hand.

I think this sums it up pretty well right here....Quote:

Point #1 serves to exaserbate this fenominon... It's the old addage you get what you pay for, and when hose were mostly manditory, most GG's oped cheepo for their hose and got saggy, ichy, ill-fitting hose. Cheep hose that run easily, which made them think, well, if they're going to run so esily, I don't see the point in dropping coin for the good stuff, without stopping to consider for the extra coin, you get a better made, longer lasting, better fitting product!
My SO dosn't mid hose, but right now she has some health issues that make it hard for her to wear them right now.
I love hose and would wear them 27/7 if i could!
My wife would wear hose most any day for me as she enjoys the feeling of them against her legs. She's especially fond of Wolford Neon and Fatale brands. I'd recommend to anyone with this problem, try getting your SO a pair of Wolfords and letting her try them if you've not already. Yes they are a little pricey, but who knows, it might be the best money you've ever spent. I had an ex once who loathed hose with a passion but I got her a pair of Wolford's and she enjoyed them immensely, as did I.
I agree with quality
I have to say that I had my share of cheap pantyhose and now prefer to put my money in the real thing. I am not to Wolford yet, but getting there.
I think that if my wife were to get in the mood for those pretty things again, I would definitely steer her toward something of higher grade.
Sonia
I love them and my wife hates them ! She only wears them when necessary
i also wear tights every day and my wife hates them she only wears them when she really has to which i have to say is very rare she lives in trousers
I don't remember when my wife wore a pantyhose. She has not owned one in as long as I can remember. I on the other hand find them irresistible. Feeling of tingle and soft pressure on legs is just amazing.
It's exactly the same here. I love thigh-highs and heels, my wife hates heels and rarely wears hose.
I think mine sees them as a necessary evil and has very limited preferences. Last winter, she started wearing black opaques (my favourite) on a regular basis. I on the other hand adore them. I'm always on the look out for different colours, patterns, styles and formats, especially fashion or textured ones.
I love hose, my girlfriend just wears them because she has to. I will say that mine are much nicer than hers. She tolarates me wearing them. I love her!!!
It seems that almost all GG's hate hose. And all CD love them. Must be because hose is something that is only made for woman's use. It is like a dress (it seems that lots of women do not like wearing dresses that much either), a garment that is meant for only women to wear. We like dresses alot too!
My wife always wore pantyhose when she was younger. Now she only wears them on holidays when she wears a dress. This christmas she had to ask me for a pair of mine since she didn't even have any of her own. She knows I have a good stock since she will buy them for me when I ask so what's mine is hers I quess.
Although I have to admit that my legs look fabulous in hose, I don't really like the feeling. One of the great benefits of shaving my legs is the feel of the skirt flowing and bouncing around my legs, and I lose that when I wear hose. Maybe it's the wrong kind of hose?
I agree!Quote:

Since males don’t grow up being expected to wear such interesting garments, they become fetish objects to be worn and worshipped secretly as the fetishist sees fit…:oQuote:

It feels odd, it feels wonderful, it feels wrong, and it feels right, all at the same time…:battingeyelashes:[/SIZE]
I love to wear them all. I have so many colors and styles. While my wife wears leggings and tights, she rarely wears hose. She says it was all of those previous years in the "dressy" work force that tired her on them. She does wonder why I love them so, as she considers them a lot of trouble. But she also understands my needs.

My wife has great legs. I rarely see them anymore. When we met, she was working and wore pantyhose almost every day. I loved it. Now I never get to see her in pantyhose. She only owns about three pair and they are all black.
I, on the other hand, love pantyhose. The very first feminine garment that I wore was a pair of sheer pantyhose, and I was hooked. If I could wear pantyhose every day, I would be in heaven.
My wife says that they are uncomfortable and hot. Others say that that they can't find a pair that fits well. I think that pantyhose can be hot, in the summer, but any other time they aren't too hot and in the winter, they are wonderful. As far at them being uncomfortable, I think that many women don't buy the correct size pantyhose. Part of the problem has to do with the sizing designations. Some manufacturers call their largest sizes Queen, or Full Figure. What woman wants to admit that she is overweight or out of shape. If they called them something else, like 'C', women may be more likely to buy the correct size. After all, you don't have to be overweight to need a Queen size. Even if you are tall, you'll need a larger size.
The idea that they can't find a size that fits is ridiculous. There are hundreds of pantyhose from which to choose, and with the internet, you can purchase pantyhose from anywhere in the world. It will take some trial and error, but you can eventually find pantyhose that fit correctly and which are comfortable.
Also, my wife insists on wearing control top pantyhose. Ugh. I hate control tops. I love sheer to waist. I think that if more women passed up the control tops they'd like pantyhose better.
Lastly, the sheer variety of pantyhose is wonderful. You can now get pantyhose in various sheernesses (is that a word) from very sheer to opaque (which I also love, but can't convince my wife to even try), in every imaginable color, in prints, textures, and varying styles. They make your legs look smooth and sexy and they feel fantastic. What's not to like?
Most women I know wear slacks about 90% of the time at work and at social events. They wear knee hi's instead of panty hose for all of the reasons cited here: comfort, bathroom convenience, less expense, less of a hassle getting them on straight.
I much prefer thigh highs, with garter belts if I can justify it, instead of panty hose when I'm wearing a skirt.
Most women I know wear panties under the panty hose. Do you CD girls who wear panty hose a lot wear undies, too? I seem to see a lot of self-pix posted on other sites in which the only underwear the person has on is the pantyhose, which seems to me would be not very utilitarian, and not inclined to help with 'the tuck.'
my self I love panty hose, I weare them all time
