seen a lot of young girls wearing leggings nowadays... pantyhose usually onli OL wear them.

true, that's why i'm surveying the market... but so far nobody put in any input.

some of my friends said that pantyhose r not comfy and it's too hot to wear them in m'sia. some said pantyhose of europe r of better quality and more comfortable. and some even said they neva wore pantyhose in their life b4... haha i personally think that pantyhose completes the outfit which makes u look better, maybe it's cos i'm more into european fashion than japanese. japanese too 'lala'. cheers...

I also think that Japanese pantyhose those colourful ones looks so lala...no nice...some even dunno how to match their clothes with the pantyhose.it looks weird...

absolutely agree, lotsa Japanese wannabees around. Wearing really weird clothes, maybe i'm not used to it. Better make sure whether it is suitable for u b4 wearing them. Catherinessc, i think u should attack the market of working ladies, they r the ones who can spend money and some require them for work... Young girls dun wear pantyhose casually, except for europeans, they wear them very often, it's juz the culture difference. Gud luck in ur future sales.

i wear black coloured ones.. when i go genting only!! hahah!!

to protect myself from the cold...

i bought it for RM 13 from an online shop. which i think if fairly priced...

typical black ones huh? i think u wear those thick opaque black tights. Malaysians very seldom wear those thin pantyhose around 20den or so unless work requires them to wear. cos ppl will think they look old or funny, whereas i think they make u look more elegant if matched with proper outfit, cos europeans really dress well when they go out to work or school. juz my 2 cents. I have lotsa friends hate pantyhose when they haven't even wear them b4, haha... juz becoz it's peer pressure. Ppl tends to follow the 'kawaii' trend rather than elegance trend.

make a poll

this is to give comment or suggestion to TS to help her getting started. Just be honest and tell facts like... do u wear hosiery of any kind? how often? for work or leisure? how much u spent on hosiery per month... and so on.

thanks everyone for putting in some ideas. i think that hosiery business is still unpopular in malaysia. I myself spent roughly RM100 on hosiery each month. used to wear them with skirt. Been wearing some good quality ones, very comfy and smoothen out the looks. I love those patterned ones, I've tried wolford pantyhose, they were marvelous but very pricey. Usually wear them to clubbing and important occasions. Girls, come on, sure there r some of u that still love fashion tights/pantyhose. Give us some of ur idea.

sometimes those patterned hosiery looks real cool but need the correct dress to match it... seen lotsa fancy designs around. Mostly ppl wear them to club. Sexy...

where are you studying catherinessc? i myself like to start this kind of business too

pantyhose is part of my working uniform. as i have to wear it everytime i went to work, i bought a support pantyhose, which is more better than normal ones. coz support pantyhose will stay tight to ur legs n wont slip easily like normal ones does. i bought the one from guardian charcoal code 21, rm12.90 per pack of 3. a support pantyhose can wear up 7 times including washing if u take care of it properly goodluck in ur research

studying in europe. so fast got competitor d?

Added on October 21, 2008, 3:07 amyea, i wore those b4, so far it's the best i can find in m'sia for a reasonable price. but if compare to those available here in europe, those r nothing. Once u wear those that made in europe, u won't wan to wear those that in m'sia anymore. i'm one of the example. But those available in europe r usually 20-40den, so it might get hot if wear in m'sia unless u work in air conditioned office/workplace. i usually wear 20den in m'sia and the quality of euro hose and m'sia(made in china) hose is like day and night. it actually can last for a week if taken care properly without losing shape...

Normally, where urs gals buy those quality stocking value for $$$ one...i did bought a pr pantyhose from HK made in korean..cost me RM80 but really gud quality not easy to get scratch (cant claim as scratchless la)
Pantyhose not really suit me...i prefer stocking but must match wif garter belt?

pantyhose is getting increasingly popular..it doesnt mean it's only for OL..many young girls wear it too.. if the top is too short, then they can wear pantyhose..

r u sure? i seldom see young girls wear pantyhose, colourful tights and leggings got la... and mostly during clubbing they wear those, if not, it's quite rare to find one. Mostly OL r the ones wearing it and mostly it's because of job requirement. If u say most young girls neva wear pantyhose in their life b4, that i believe, haha... wat do u mean if the top is too short? is it the shirt is too short then they wear pantyhose? doesn't make any sense to me.

mayb u get confused of wat the real pantyhose looks like??

leggings r not suitable for all tops..some shorter tops r best matches with pantyhose

perhaps u can explain more detail or pics of how does pantyhose looks like in ur 'dictionary'??

pantyhose is good, especially when you're in cold offices, can keep yr leg warm... it does make a difference from not wearing any.. and am not toking bout legging or leg warmer those sort..

but to find a good one is a challenge for me...i like pretty polly, but i cant seem to find it here... i got my last 2 pairs from a spree here... and i'm actually interested in getting another few more pairs. their stockist is actually in the UK, so if anyone is doin any spree on this, lemme know

since so many argue dat pantyhose r getting common nowadays, i would really like to know when was ur first time wearing them and for wat...? cos i juz know lotsa girls dat neva wear them b4, i mean up to 23 yrs old.

i think it's only common among OL...not so much on teenagers or young adults... maybe for those who attend functions

i've started wearing when i was in college itself, coz my college requires all students to wear formal.. >_< so yea, i think about 18 yrs old,..?

yea, dat an example, u wore them cos u needed to, not u wanted to... then why ppl say dat pantyhose is getting common?? i haven't notice it yet or maybe i'm slow? nowadays everyone(young girls) r into leggings and those opaque tights onli, pantyhose ermm... onli like u said, OLs. and dats quite rare too.

i think wat ckmoy said was partly true... young girls nowadays are more interested in tights and leggings, but not pantyhose except for OLs which is also quite rare. I think the main reason is because of the culture and weather in malaysia. Girls r not used to wearing pantyhose, cos it's hot and some says looks very granny... but vice versa in europe, girls have been wearing them since they are young. so it's no big deal to them. as for granny looks i think it's cos of the poor quality hosiery sold in m'sia, those that i wear(made in europe) doesn't make u look granny but instead a very smooth and elegant look. but of course the price is different as well. I myself started to wear pantyhose for the first when i was 18, when i going for a part time job interview, it was hot and uncomfortable(made in china pantyhose) unlike the euros one. it's true it will be hot wearing pantyhose if u walking under the sun, but i think even without pantyhose, it'll still be hot to walk under the sun. So, now i normally wear them 20den pantyhose to an air-conditioned environment or at night to clubs. basically i think pantyhose gives me a more positive effect than negative...

nah, it wasnt coz i needed to, i wanted to... coz i feel, by wearing pantyhose, it acts like a protective layer to the skin, the classrooms are really cold.. >_<

even thou the weather here is hot n humid, u wont sweat that much by wearing pantyhose, unless, leggings,..that's just crazy..

okie, my bad... u r ok with pantyhose... rare case. so few girls dat support pantyhose here. i think we need more pantyhose fans here to bring up the fashion... haha. pantyhose r sexy if matched with the right clothings... sleek, sophisticated and sexy = elegance. cheers.

purplecrystal. where did u went for college? i feel that everytime i wear pantyhose, ppl will look at me like it's so strange. i seldom met college girls in malaysia wearing pantyhose. if in europe, i understand la, cos it's common here.
BTW, anybody here tried 'Wolford' brand or any other branded pantyhose before? i tried once bought in UK during sales, it's a patterned pantyhose actually. wat i can say is quality is superb.

i usually wear a pantyhouse with my black dresses to add elegance to it. i think it looks good

wah, 1 more joined the group... kinda rare. this thread is quite slow moving compared to others. is this a boring topic? it's also a part of fashion, rite? btw, welcome to the group, insouciance... maybe u can share some ideas, personal experience or suggestion to this thread?

wow, this is a slow moving thread after all. so many users but no comments from them... i wonder if everyone understands the word 'hosiery'?

yea... maybe should edit the topic abit

maybe u can give suggestions what to edit?

I am curious are pantyhose suppose to be worn together with undergarments as i check wikipedia it says without undergarments. Won't it feel too tight? Also it is easy to damage the pantyhose when you wear it as the toe figernail might scratch it.





Many men use pantyhose too, but they wear it on the face.

mayb can put it as " hosiery a.k.a stocking" cz as u say mayb some of them might not know the meaning of hoseiry

pantyhose with undergarment or not this things i think depends on personal 1 lo... some do n some don't... correct me if i m wrong ... good quality pantyhose will not scartch easily but also have 2 make sure that ur finger nail is smooth n even... guls,m i right?

i think most girls wear pantyhose with undergarments. unless they want to get naughty . at least i personally wear pantyhose with undergarment. i guess u never wear pantyhose before, right?
some pantyhose tears/runs very easily, especially the low quality and thin ones. the thicker, the harder to tear. thickness of pantyhose are counted as DEN. in Malaysia, usually is 7-15 den. very thin... usually i wear 20 den. if cold then 40 or more.

---

Added on November 13, 2008, 5:03 pmyea, u r right. some ppl that got dry skin, use lotion before putting them on, while some uses gloves. good quality hose r more expensive but looks more attractive and durable. better than those made in china stuffs.

This post has been edited by catherinessc: Nov 13 2008, 05:03 PM

topic changed! haha

if wear pantyhose without undergarments i think will feel weird weird like tat lo since itz so thin (base on my imagination )... higher DEN means thicker so the lower DEN means more easy 2 tear/run/scratch??? or it depends on the quality but not thickness? agree what u said, good quality hose looks more attractive and durable. better than those made in china stuffs. n sometimes can easily c the diff even with bare eye

basically higher DEN is thicker or can call it opaque when it is not the see thru type. lower DEN are thinner and runs easily if not careful. Durability of hosiery depends on both quality and thickness which depends on material used to make them... Some uses extra Lycra which gives it more durability and more stretchable. Most important is comfort... ah hong, you are a guy or girl if you don't mind telling?

oh... icic... thanks 4 ur info

i m a guy

lolz!

yea, tried wearing to club a patterned hose from wolford with a little black dress. looks very nice cos quality is gud. got lotsa stares, gud and bad ones, u know what i mean. but i feel more comfortable and confident wearing that, haha. european hosiery are absolutely top class. except for those low class ones dat r for grannies, lol. do u experience this kind of situation too?

Leggings is popular. But Panty Hose is very much limited to OL only.

But Leggings is only look good in nice legs people youhh...

Hello, hotties... i think plain pantyhose are not bad too if it's a gud quality one, those that look very sheer and smooth are very attractive and sexy. Now i think patterned hose and bright coloured legging are the 'in things' as i saw lotsa girls wearing them to club. they look gud if matched with the right outfit.

i am ok with bight & colorful tights but the most important thing is how u match it... tights wif bling bling (something like the "angel dust") looks good as well (no matter c thru type of opaque)... but also that word "how u match it"


wolford? i heard u mention that itz pricy n i've check it on9 cause of curiousity (can kill a cat ... i wonder how pricy will it be)... and the 1st thing i saw the price is then ... crazy! but really that good?

pantyhose/hosiery does look good on leisure wear (mini skirt, short pants etc) & gown as well... but malaysia not in tat trend... yea! only wear leggings if only u got a pair of nice legs if not its like "DISASTER"

yea i second that! good quality one does look sheer,smooth,attractive,sexy n not forget elegence too... patterned hose and bright coloured legging will looks good if u match it right.... itz all about "how u match it"

just wanna know wat u girls think. to u, wat is the main purpose of wearing pantyhose? when is ur first time wearing them and reason? wat do u think about expensive hosiery like catherinessc suggested? is pantyhose a waste of money?

I'm a guy and i try to explain from guys point of view.

Mainly to:

1.Protect skin

2.Keep warm

3.Cover scars & make hair less visible, giving a smooth look

4.Look professional

But i see those normal pantyhose that's abit shiny, not very use to looking at it.

does anybody know where i can those type of lace leggings in KL? so cantik and nice

i think those tights are available in europe or USA, and they aren't cheap. in malaysia, i dun think so u can get these kinda hosiery cos market is very limited, as u can see from this thread, it's moving so slow cos nobody is interested although there are so many members in this forum.

i love to buy those tights maybe i can find them in foreign brand shops. it is not the market is limited in malaysia. it is because fashion and trends travel very slow from overseas to malaysia.

hi... pantyhose lover here. come kacau kacau n support support.

I usually wear black/skin colour hose during working hours; non-sheer type + colourful one for outings. i think gals look good with pantyhose which match good with clothes. it would make the overall style looks more complete n trendy.

Come on gals out there! hosie hosie~

shazreensara: those tight really looks cool ... saw few times on the street before... but with matching clothes of cause, if not people will see you like they meet an alien

ckmoy007: huh? bump the thread?

kingteddy: welcome to the thread girl! non-sheer type = opaque? colorful? plain color or those multi-color 1? i wonder 1 things, will u girls feel hot when wearing those opague tights? it looks like so thick like that lo

This post has been edited by ah hong: Dec 15 2008, 05:25 PM

I have been wearing pantyhose since around 15yrs old so, forgotten the actual age lar. Actually wearing pantyhose is very comfortable, especially those high quality one. I have been wearing the Leggs pantyhose now. Thew quality is quite good. I got a question to ask, what is the different in between pantyhose and tight? I have googling around and found that in US ppl call pantyhose, but in Europe, ppl call it tight.

In the UK, they are called tights, the rest of the world they are called pantyhose, of course they r named differently according to the local language. so, u have been wearing Leggs, i assume dat u dun get them from Malaysia... cos i've neva seen Leggs selling in Malaysia, correct me if i am wrong. u started wearing pantyhose at quite an early age for average malaysian. just out of curiosity, wat r the comments of other ppl when u first wear pantyhose? do they look at u like u r weirdo?

I bought the Leggs pantyhose on the internet. I have found that only the pantyhose with sizes will fit comfortably, those selling in Malaysia all is free size and it won't fit comfortably, if it is not too big, than it is too small/short. Actually I started wearing pantyhose in the early age because it was introduced by my friends, some of them are ballet dancer, they said tight/pantyhose is very comfortable to wear, first I also not really believe it because I always think that bare leg it better, but after trying a pair of ballet tight of my friend, it is amazing, so until now I still wearing it pantyhose/tight. One thing I found on the internet, right now got "tight trend for men" just take a look at one of these websites "http://www.comfilon.com", I was wondering if I buy one pair for my hubby, will he wear it?

i neva wore b4 ballet tights... won't it be to hot to wear them on the streets of malaysia? it must be quite expensive to import pantyhose from overseas. Have u tried wolford b4? it is really nice although pricey as for tights for men, i think in malaysia, it's not so appropriate... the thinking in m'sia is quite conservative, but who knows ur man may like it...

according to nokia's dictionary, pantyhose n tights share the same meaning

from my point of view i not-so-can accept guys wearing pantyhose... from what i know some guys at winter country does wear pantyhose to keep warm and they wear long pants to cover it... yes! at least u wear a long pants... dun wear shorts with pantyhose and walk around... saw once before a guy wear pantyhose with shorts somewhere near kota raya... all ppl staring at him... and i almost fainted when i saw it haha! maybe i "kolot" or out-dated... whats guys & girl's opinion/comment of guys wear pantyhose/tights?

wolford strongly recommended by catherinessc... heard she mention at here few times its really a very pricey brand, i think not much of people in malaysia can accept the over-hundred-ringgit tights except those who tried it before... but i believe u'll get what you pay for

silkygirl wear pantyhose since 15yrs old? wow! nowadays really hard to see girls wearing pantyhose/tights/stockings accept for OL lo... its not a trend in malaysia... from the reply for this topic and u will know...

lets make the tread hot!!!

if u want to wear with sandal,
must get those Labelled "Sandal Toe" " nude Toe " etc.etc...

then it's not so noticeable. Pretty Polly Natural range are pretty good, pretty invisible very thin.. about 7 or 8 denier...
i used to sell them here(BULK order) because i got a friend in UK. then we both got busy with our stuff , i stopped selling them.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
youngsters nowadays prefer to go bare leg because they think pantyhose gives them an "Auntie Image" ..

but actually, pantyhose makes your legs look better.

if you all notice, now in a lot of fashion show, the models are wearing pantyhose... i think the trend is coming back.

in Japan, almost 95% of female wear pantyhose , regardless of whether they are working or not. they even wear them at home.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Wolford pantyhose are like the LV/Gucci of pantyhose. they're really really expensive. targeted at high end markets.

Hi, ah hong, are you wearig pantyhose regularly? I think most guy who wear pantyhose is purely for comfortable,relieve foot pain due to long time standing or long tie sitting, won't simply wear panthose with short lar, maybe this kind of trend will only be happened in future kua. Regarding to your view "nowadays really hard to see girls wearing pantyhose/tights/stockings accept for OL lo... its not a trend in malaysia", I kinda have opposite view . catherinessc, ballet tight actually isn't hot to wear, but quite comfortable, just like a pair of good quality tight, just the different is it is more durable, more stretchy. For the Wolford tight, I also wish to have a pair to try, but when see the price, it is just too expensive to buy.

7 or 8 denier?will it too thin n will scratch / tear easily? from my point of view pantyhose wont give "auntie image" but will makes the person looks more professional , tidy, and more confidence...

hi silkygirl, i am a guy, i don't wear pantyhose but i like to see girls with pantyhose am i a pervert??? lolz! i hope that i am not wear pantyhose can relieve foot pain due to long time standing or long tie sitting? didnt heard of that before... maybe 1 day i should try it on Regarding the "nowadays really hard to see girls wearing pantyhose/tights/stockings accept for OL lo... its not a trend in malaysia"i would like to do some correction... maybe i should say "nowadays really hard to see girls wearing pantyhose/tights/stockings accept for OL lo... its still not a trend in malaysia"... as fillet said, she think the trend i coming back and i notice that more n more girls wearing pantyhose compare to last few years... but most of them are wearing opague type i still prefer those see-tru type

if u r a straight guy and love seeing women in pantyhose, means u have a pantyhose fetish... quite common nowadays, just search for 'pantyhose' in google and u will know the answer right away.
silkygirl, i dunno which part of malaysia do u live, but in my place, it's a rare case to see a girl in pantyhose, especially teenagers. those wearing pantyhose are alwez just because work requires them to. in europe, teens are more well dressed, they care about how they looks, but maybe cos of their weather too... teens of euro looks older than their actual age if compared to us, they dress up like adults at the age of 14,15. cos of their physical size r larger than asians, they look gud when dress up. not like malaysian teens, shorts and t shirt + sandals everywhere. but it's a total different culture between malaysia and europe.

imo tights are great with dresses.. I've got an opaque one and a printed one, haha so far I've only worn them with skirts and they don't look half bad.. just that I think it's more 'accepted' to wear them in colder weather and great when paired with boots of any height =)

But must remember that boots are more suitable to ladies with longer legs, if you don't have long legs and you wear boots, it will make your legs look even shorter, just like me, I won't wear boots because I feel my legs aren't long enough.

I LOVE hosiery, I was just about to make a post asking where I can buy cute patterned tights / thigh- / knee-high socks in Malaysia.

In Japan I bought patterned socks and tights from a store called "300 Coin" for ~320円 (~RM12) per pair. It was pretty much a great bargain as they're not very thick but much stronger / more durable than the tights I've bought here. And they're really really pretty

The Guardian brand tights rip / run terribly and they're awfully plain all blacks and beiges and no patterns. I've seen some really lovely tights from Forever21 (in the States) all over flowers and patterns, really want em!

I'm looking for plain but brightly coloured hose/high socks as well (after seeing a Prada ad full of lime green tights)

i normally wear panty hose to work coz it's more comfortable and not so bare.
however, if i go jln-jln i normally dun wear coz it's kinda hot in m'sia.

After wearing pantyhose for so many years, if you ask me not to wear pantyhose right now, I'll feel uncomfortable especially wearing skirt. Even go to shopping in shopping mall, I'll also wear pantyhose, but sometimes will not wear lar, but mostly will wear lar. If walking around Petaling Street, will only wear sock with sports shoe. Choose only good quality pantyhose, then you will feel very comfortable and will not feel hot at all.

I'm not sure the reason behind for wearing a pantyhose , but my gf wear black pantyhose with a black shorts.

Will you guys think that's weird ?

nothing weird about that, maybe she just wanted to cover some imperfection on her leg or maybe just for warmth, but there's nothing fashionably wrong.

Added on January 10, 2009, 2:53 amwow, u r really into hosiery as if u got a pantyhose fetish, haha... i oso alwez wear pantyhose to more 'serious' occasions, like meeting someone new, to work or to party. if just normal jalan jalan in malaysia, i seldom wear, but in europe i always wear la due to cold weather.

This post has been edited by catherinessc: Jan 10 2009, 02:53 AM

looks like shorts with pantyhose is a trend nowadays... u can see guls wear like that everywhere especially at shopping mall... most of them are wearing opaque rather than sheer...

In Malaysia, the girls and ladies more prefer to wear opaque type pantyhose eapecially younger generation rather than sheer type. This is due to maybe opaque is more comfortable to wear, durable, compare to the sheer type one.

First of all,
Hi to everybody in this wonderfull thread.
Lovely to see gals and guys discussing hosiery with such great enthusiasm.
I'm a newbie, so please be gentle.

Silkygirl is right about opaques , they are very durable compared to sheers (8 to 20 deniers) , they give a
great contrast or match when worn with colorful clothings.

Malaysian hosiery range unfortunately is not that varied because of the lack of demand for it.
Asides from office ladies and clubbing/fashionable gals who wear them in cooler environments (air-cond/night time), it is not really practical in a hot and humid weather for everyday wear.
Of course some hosiery lovers would beg to differ. And I'm totally cool with that.

The best hosiery in Msia I've seen are the Jobst compression hosiery that are sold in pharmacies and also in Isetan ,Starhill where you might find a a few Japanese pantyhoses.

Time Square has a Cherilon hosiery store that is somewhere in the really upper floors. That is a Thailand brand that is picking up in popularity.

Parkson Grand might carry some hosiery , but they are nothing to much shout about.

The sock shop sells a variety of colors but its hard to find some that have the same feel and texture as European brands.

AS the rules goes,you get what you pay for and this unfortunately applies to hosiery too.


I do wear opques quite regularly and my favourite opaque tights are the ballet type, Fiesta , hip hop hosiery and also Energetiks.

Fiesta is feathery and velvety soft with medium strength compression (Rm 50)
Hip Hop Hosiery is very Lycra 3d-ish (strong hugginess feel) (Rm40) [Lycra 3d is a weaving method of the elastane that increases the hug of a the pantyhose. It makes the material more elastic and retains its shape better]
and Energetiks is somewhere in between. (Rm50)

All these tights are 60 deniers or thicker. Mostly the colors available are Light pink, brown, and black.

As for mainstream brands. I find Levante 80 Denier Tights(Italian brand) to be absolutely luxurious and it has that
fragrant flowery aroma to it which I absolutely love. (Rm65)
Basque is not bad although not as velvety as Levante. (Rm50).

Kolotex Wicked (Australian brand)is inexpensive and soft enough for everyday wear in cold weather. It hugs pretty well on the legs. (Rm30)

I once had a Wacoal (Japanese) tights a long time ago which were sooooo soft and comfortable. but sadly they no longer produce it. However their Wacoal Styling Cover (Rm90) [20denier] range is heavenly. They are one of the best japanese pantyhose of all as it lifts the buttocks and has gradual compression from feet to calves to thigh) I also love Atsugi and Fukusuke as well as Gunze brands from Japan. Give these brand all a try . You won't regret it.

Get these:-

Atsugi Clinical 15 or 20
Fukusuke Stylingu
Gunze Sabrina

I would love to try more European brands like Omsa, Kunert, Filodoro, Oroblu. Gotta save up some $$$ in order to be able to afford them. hi hi hi.

As for Wolfords, I've got about 6 pairs which i personally love. My all time favs are the Wolford Fatal 15 (totally seamless even in the panty section, no cotton crotch or panel) , Wolford Satin Opaque 50 and finally Wolford Miss W
They are all ridiculously expensive but worth every little penny .

The closest brand that could even compare with the Wolford ranges are the Gerbe (pronounced 'zhurb') from France.
Once again , really really expensive, but very very silky,huggy,soft compared to the middle range quality European hosiery like Levante and Oroblu. My heart breaks everytime i put a hole or a ladder starts to form on my Gerbe pantyhoses.

Anyway, sorry for babbling on so much.
I'll let someone else have a turn now.
ta~ ta~

Wolford... > Thanks so much! I'll have a look around some of the shops you mentioned (Isetan, Times Square)

I've found some over-the-knee stockings in interesting colours at Sox World in KLCC (~RM20 p pair)

Where do you get the Atsugi / Fukusuke / Gunze tights from? I'm guessing online shopping?

Btw these are the cute F21 tights I saw:

Hi Tongari,

Are we allowed to put website links on this forum?
If so I could show you where to get one of the Japanese brand pantyhose
Gunze Sabrina. (15 denier)

Or perhaps PM me. or email me . (Oh ..can we show our hotmail/gmail accounts in the forum)

I'm such a dumb dumb newbie...
Dun wanna be offending any of the forums' rules .
hi hi

wow! another expert in da house welcome wolfordsthebest... even the name also wolford as we can see here you tried various type&brand of stockings and have wide range of stockings in your closet thanks for your sharing

again thanks for the info ms wolfordsthebest!

maybe u all can share how 2 take care of your tights so that it can last longer and how u match your tights with clothes and shoes, etc...

i heard that put the new tights into fridge a day before u wear it can last make it last longer... anyone tried it before?

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.


Read about it here:-

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???
