Such Different Pantyhose
Second skin, put on and forgot – that is the best estimation to be given to pantyhose.
It means that pantyhose don’t slip off, don’t knee, don’t kilt.
And speaking about snags and holes in many respects it depends on the carefulness of lady as well.
The choice of pantyhose is pretty wide nowadays from relatively cheap to elegant models of different colors, thickness, netting, body shaping, possessing anticellulitis, massaging and other effect. To sum it up, it’s a torment to choose a pantyhose, by the way they cost from $1 and up, at the same time price and quality are, as a rule, interdependent.
Pantyhose are available in a wide range of popular styles.
The sheerness of the garment, expressed as a numerical ‘denier’/'dtex’, ranges from 3 (extremely rare, very thin, barely visible) to 15 (standard sheer) up to 30 (semi opaque) until 70 (opaque).
For people who want a slimmer form, they may opt to get “Control Top”, which has a reinforced panty.
The downside to Control Top Pantyhose are the panty lines that may appear when wearing high cut skirts or shorts. Sheer to Waist is just that – sheer from the toe to the waist – no panty lines. Perfect for high slit gowns, mini-skirts and when wearing with lingerie.
Pantyhose occupy very little space when not worn.
Also for the person who wants a bit more support on the top half, there are pantyhose that have panel gussets incorporated into them.
These are either single or double types. In the single type, there are two seams instead of the usual one, with a single one on the opposite side; with double panel gussets, there are two seams on either side.
The single type can be worn either way.
They both help to expand the top panty area.
There are also types of pantyhose which have a lacy panty area which is normally floral in design. Many pantyhose brands now produce pantyhose that do away with seams completely, so that the outline is smooth from top to bottom.
The term ‘pantyhose’ originated in the United States, referring to the combination of ‘panties’ (an American term for women’s underpants) with sheer nylon hosiery. In the United Kingdom, they are called tights, a term that refers to all such garments regardless of denier. In the U.S., the term tights is used for non-sheer garments similar to pantyhose, such as those worn by girls, dancers and athletes.
