I love pantyhose!! Can't dress without them on, before my bra goes on it has to be hose! I never wear panties with pantyhose, to me it feels so much better. Never tried the waist smoothers when they were out but my latest fav are silk reflections high waist! To me the high waist feels so good its hard to take them off!! Tonight I am wearing silk reflections with the frech cut lace panty, another fav of mine, so pretty!!
