General Chat

On dermatologists advice, have started wearing stockings again. Had forgotten how uncomfotable they are! Have tried hold-ups, but the ones I bought would not stay up after the 2nd wash, so didnt try again. Maybe they were too cheap! Anyonr tried the tights that imitate a supender belt? Would like to know if they are any more comfortable. Going to have to buy longer leg pantees to fill the gap at the top!

has any one tried the body free tights from bhs, heathy and comfy, i do sometimes wear holdups(when you wash them ,dont put fabric softener in or they will slip down).

Thanks for the tip Iris.

If im really crude on this thread will anyone report me, if they will I wont ask the male question :)

now you got us curious colin
lol

ok :):) Its risky but I asked this same question a few years ago on a full chat board. No one gave me an answer all they did was laugh :):)

Is it not true that if a woman wears tights and breaks wind her ankles swell up :)


Thats it im on holiday lol

In the days before tights were 'invented' I had great problems with stockings. They were never long enough, or the suspenders were too short or a combo of both. They just would not reach together properly for me. I must have extra long legs and also the lower half of my body.

Tights have been no better. For my daughters wedding I wore one pair and took a spare pair of a different brand. When the first pair laddered early on I went and put on the spare pair but could not pull them right up. The crotch came half way between my knees and where it should have been. Most uncomfortable. I decided to dispense with them altogether. Winter is great, as others have mentioned you can wear trousers and socks. In summer I dont always bother with anything apart from the shoes, unless I wear a longish skirt and knee-highs, but not good for the circulation.

Huia.

Oh Dear :(

i have opposite problem, i always look like nora batty cos my legs so short they crinkle down

gotta keep pullin tights up, very lady like , looks like im flashing me leg

I really am the weirdest shape. My boobs come down to my waist. I prefer to say I am high waisted. Well I must be. When I used to make dresses I always had to shorten the bodice by an inch or more. A neighbour had the same bust size as me but she was much shorter. She always had to raise the side bust dart by 1&half inches while I had to lower it by that much. She couldnt wear low necklines as they showed so much cleavage she was embarrassed, but I could wear low necklines. Cant now as my neck is so wrinkled!

Oh, to have a 'perfect' shape. Even shoes are a problem. I can never get any that are a good fit. How I wish my gt grandfather and his dad were still alive. They could have made shoes to fit me.

Huia.

I hate tights .... either legs are too long or short. I end up with the crotch down by my knees or wrinkes like Nora Batty !

Stockings with suspenders .... too uncomfortable

I detest pop socks.

Hold up stockings .... wonderful !!!

I wear socks with trousers/jeans in the winter and go bare legged on summer. Hold ups with skirts/dresses in winter and bare legged in summer.

With support tights, I found a good fit and they last a long time. Have worn some of mine for at least ayear., must look for support hold-ups, it seems.

NEVER WEAR TIGHTS ANYMORE
AND IF STOCKINGS,ITS
FOR MY BENIFIT

HE CAN BUY HIS OWN

Nice one Gwen!
