Yeah i came across it somewhere before. It's been said that putting your hosiery into the freezer overnight does something to the yarn or stitching to make it more ladder-proof.

Even saw some Japanese show on Youtube demonstrating it. Weird but surprisingly it worked .(only a little)

Another popular belief is to coat your hosiery with styling hairspray to toughen the fibers. Never tried it before,
perhaps someone could comment on that. Perhaps its like a similar to a light coat of clear nail polish.


If that all seems a bit too troublesome and bizarre,


Finally,Voodoo (Aust. brand) has released some ladder-resistant pantyhose.

If a hole forms, it will not ladder...(spread and elongate). I've personally tested it, and it's amazing! It worked.

No more ugly long runs going down your legs . yippeeeee..

Does that mean that hosiery company will bankrupt itself? Less new sales since women's hosiery will last much much longer.

hmmmmm I wonder.

icic.. i did heard before about the use of clear nail polish but didn't heard about coating with styling hairspray... but it won't feel sticky or uncomfortable if spray the hosiery using hairspray???

haha! finally a ladder-resistant pantyhose... but then i don't think they will bankrupt since it just a ladder-resistant but not a life time one... maybe just the sales not that good compare with previously

what can i say is wolfordsthebest you are really into hosiery la... mind to let us know how many pairs of hosiery did you own in your closet

Pantyhouse somehow makes me feel more comfortable and sexier when I wear it with my mini skirt.

Girls, do u get more stare/attention at u when u r wearing pantyhose? do u like those? i believe girls do get more attention when they do wear one, cos i myself will look more at those girls. dun get me wrong, not horny stare, but just 'wow'...

u mean those ballet pants...or the ones women wear under their skirts to work?

if its those black ballet tights look a like...i like to call ppl that wear them minnie mouse...only if the length is till the feet...

but for the ones which women wear to work...those laced ones...then thats nice...

black shorts with black pantyhose is the IN thing nowadays, i think if matched properly, it'll look very good, nice and sexy on ur gf

Does anyone feel actually wearing pantyhose/tight (opaque or sheer) with skirt is more comfortable than wearing long jeans or pants? I don't like to wear jeans or pants because very hot and bulky, but pantyhose and skirt is much comfortable to wear. I don't know why some ladies said pantyhose is very hot, don't they think Jeans or pants are thicker and bulkier plus a lot warmer.

definitely, a skirt need to match with pantyhose... but then again, it also need to match the occasion too, i.e.: skirt+pantyhose (during warmer weather, dinner & general application) & skirt+tights (during colder weather & winter). However here in Malaysia, i do see girls matching their skirt + thights on a very hot weather. Don't they feel hot?

i think the reason they said pantyhose is hot is because they bought a lower quality and grade of the pantyhose. Especially those 3 in 1 package ones. I'd suggest to go for those made in Japan ones. They r much better in quality and not easily torn. My 2 cents worth... cheers!

Hot weather wearing long jeans or pants is no no for me, I won't wear it when the weather is over 30'C. Sometimes I was wondering how those men can stand such hot weather wearing jeans and pants.

well, sometimes it's bcoz of their job nature that men need to wear jeans/pants under the hot weather. It's the image you want to portray for your customers and potential customers, etc. cheers!

yea! as alat says maybe they bought those cheapo pantyhose that's why they feel hot when wearing it and have bad impression on it... but i think wearing skirts/shorts with pantyhose is definitely much more comfortable than wearing long jeans or pants

as a man i already used to wear jeans and pants under the hot weather... but i'll rather wear shorts than jeans/pants if i got choice... depends on the occasion...

I guess men don't have much choice, but just to accept their long jeans or pants and shirt or t-shirt, that's all. I guess if they have other choices, I think they sure won't choose jeans or pants especially in Malaysia because of hot weather.

yaya! really don't have much of choices... i will only wear long pants/jeans if necessary else, shorts please... lol

back to the topic, from what i can see most of the malaysian ladies prefer pantyhose instead of thigh high stockings... isn't that they worry the stockings slip? but then they can wear with garter belt... from what i can see, wearing thigh high is more convenient when go to toilet compare with pantyhose... is it because of thigh high are more troublesome when wearing or other else reason?

could it be the awareness amongst Malaysian girls in general? ya, and i also noticed that shops sells more pantyhose than thigh high stockings... i prefer those thigh high stockings with lacy ends.

Been wearing thigh-high stocking before, one word to describe it, uncomfortable, keep sliping down, use garter belt also too troublesome. Actually wearing tigh-high stocking or pantyhose also the same when go to toilet, no different.

i thought when goto toilet, if u wear thigh high stockings, u need not pull down extra layer like how u pull down your pantyhose rite? if u wear thigh high stockings, u just need to pull down your panties only rite? no?

I think you are not lady, so maybe you won't understand. When go to toilet, the extra thin layer from pantyhose won't make any inconvenience to you at all.

ahaha... ya, as u can see from my profile, i'm a guy & that's y the guys here would like to understand further on this. cheers!

thanks for the info silkygirl... even a lady who very into stockings like silkygirl also doesn't prefer thigh high... from that we can know that why malaysia's shops sells more pantyhose than thigh high stockings...

i've ask few of my ladies friend before about thigh high and garter belt... they also say is trouble some... sometimes the when the stockings slip it will pull down the garter belt as well, sometimes the garter belt's clip on the stockings will un-clip if u didn't clip it properly, or if you wear tight skirt can see the mark of the garter belt on it

maybe it just meant for "precious moment" only???

haha...i like the term, "precious moment"... or was that what u meant earlier, silkygirl? ;-) hehe...
