Well, the sample the sales lady shown me has nice crotch design , but after I got home and torn open the packages (much later when I wanted to wear), I noticed it did not have a crotch design.. a bit annoyed.

Allergic reaction, you might to wash it first before starts wearing, some treated with chemical and dye, those stuff certainly can bring on itch for sensitive skin.

anyway, I met a lady flying from s'pore a few weeks back, have some interesting tale to tell, will write later..

(updated--)
anyway, a bit of break from my hectic works..

a few weeks ago, i took a flight from s'pore that was quite full . So happen that i got the last row of seat. Ths couple , around late 40s happened to be seated next to me. Funny part was, I was initially seated between them, because they were on connecting flight on standby to take up the flight I was in , their actual flight was much later . The wife willingly gave me aisle seat so that she could be seated next to her husband at window side.

I was in s'pore for a week long meeting with a customer, as usual , I decided to slip off my formal working suit before flying off with something more comfortable.. a pair of knee length shorts with oversize t-shirt, a pair of ankle socks with casual canvas . As for this lady, she was wearing long waist hugging dress , almost below knee,interestingly , with sun tan color pantyhose. She was pretty good shape for her age, my guess was mid to late 40s..

anyway , so a conversation started when she complimented about the sheer and glossy look of the pantyhose I was wearing and asked me if it was branded and expensive . I told her it was a normal US brand (Hanes) not too expensive . She asked me if I was involved in performance works like dancing or on the way to dance class after the flight. I politely told her that it was support hose and part of my formal working clothes.
Then she told me it's rare to find ladies that appreciate pantyhose these days, including her own two daughters that are teenagers , prefer to go bare legs even going to formal functions like wedding or gatherings.

She told me, being 20s durin her time in 80 and early 90s, pantyhose was part of daily dress, even she and her husband ran their own business (a wholesaler), when she was teenager, she could not even wait but wanting to be grown up , to wear nice dresses, to make up , to slip into a pair of pantyhose and high heel to graduate into womanhood, to hang out late..

She explained to me the reason why she asked me if I was a dancer because usually only dancers are used to wear hose around. She even told me she had been attending aerobic dance classes since her 20s , and never missed it for a week despite many such classes come and go , in 80-90s, pantyhose was usually integral part of aerobic dance wear.

Then I asked her if she still wear hose to dance class these days, she told me she still wears them all them, but main difference is, she does not wear those single piece leotard anymore (like swimsuit) , but instead opted for two piece bra top and shorts that made it easier to visit loo , and pantyhose usually keeps her leg warm at all time. She grumbled young ladies of today hardly want to do physical exercise , for her , doing exercise actually kept her young.

Just before we parted, she asked me to take a guess her age, I tried to be polite by saying around 45, but she told me she was coming to 51.. amazing..

i found this nostalgic video of 80-90s..

maysee, try opening the package before leaving the shop to check if everything's fine cause at least if there's something wrong or not the one you wanted, you can exchange or return it

well, she did washed them before having them on
and the itch still persists..not sure if it's the material or quality of hosiery

the mentality that hosiery (esp nude/suntan hosiery) are for aunties is still there
the black opaque tights are more popular among young girls, well i hope the trend doesn't die off

where can i buy good quality pantyhose in malaysia?
i tried the cheap pantyhose
once i wear it
it starts to run..

try Marks and Spencer (their own brand), Isetan (Japanese brands such as Gunze and Fukusuke) or get it online

on top of getting a good quality hosiery ,which is usually more expensive, make sure your nail is well trimmed and no sharp edges, you need to remove all sharp jewelry too.

I hope you have a nice hose wearing experience. If you are extra tall or very petite , do check out the size chart before buying, for those hosiery with size, my experience is exact or one size above. Undersized can cause the hose to tear/run prematurely. Oversize can cause it drop half way through the day.. either way is not fun as you have to keep worrying about them .( I am wearing them all day long for work , usually for support and some compression effect to relief ache at the end of day) .

good experience can be beneficial, comfortable and maybe sensual at times.. poor experience will put you off wearing them again.

If you are new to this thread, I did a lengthy write up before here, if you have any nice practices to share , we certainly welcome your opinion..

I am having the same thought as your GF.. But after seeing most girls nowaday pairing tights with shorts are awesome..

Yet I still searching for hipster type.. Cos most of my shorts are low waist, pairing with high/mid waist tights are totally eye sore..

do you have soxworld near your place?
you can find it there since it's the most convenient way, tell the salesperson that u're looking for low waist i'm sure they can help you
i'm not sure if they'll have low waisted opaque tights though...i've only seen sheer low waist

this is sexy. sheer to waist low cut will be a better choice for this kinda fashion.

We are selling top notch quality leggings. Do check us out if any of you is interested
