The quality of hosiery has much approved in recent years. Modern techniques made it possible to manufacture stronger pantyhose and stockings than ever before. But don't forget, that hosiery is still very delicate, and has to be handled with care. Here are a few tips:

Before you handle your hosiery, please remove all jewelry, toe- and finger rings, as well as bracelets and make sure your toe- and fingernails are smooth.

To put them on: Roll the stockings or pantyhose down and stick your toe in, and gently roll them up your legs. Don't pull too much.

To take them off: Be just as careful taking them of, gently roll the stockings or pantyhose down your legs,

How to wash you hosiery by hand:

Wash separately in lukewarm water, do not wring, towel dry lightly, do not hang to dry Use mild detergent

How to wash you hosiery in the washing machine Place hosiery in a washing bag Use a mild detergent, no bleach Select delicate wash cycle, cold water Do not place in dryer, do not hang to dry, place on a towel, and let it dry.

Are you feeling chilly this winter season? A very warm thing to wear are Lycra tights. They can be worn with a skirt, dress or underneath pants.

The material in Lycra is very durable because of the quality and thickness.

We have Lycra pantyhose in many different solid or shimmery colors and patterns. Lycra a very stretchy fabric, usually blended with other fibers. Tights containing Lycra provide comfort, movement, and just as important, they wash well time and time again.

Our tights come in either leggings or full coverage. They give good body contouring support in the tummy, hips and legs.

Pantyhose

It is nice, because they can be worn in either a casual or formal look.

I feel this item should be in everyones drawer because you never know what will come up, and you will be warm wearing them.

Back in the 1950's women had no other option when wearing stockings, since the pantyhose was not even on the market back in those days. For a while it seemed that the pantyhose was replacing the stockings more and more. But in recent years stockings have made a come back, and women are wearing stockings again.

There are also lot's of men that like to wear pantyhose or stockings. According to Statistics approx. 20% of men like to wear hosiery.

Stockings or Pantyhose, there is an occasion for both, at work you might like pantyhose better, but if you go out at night and you want to look and feel sexy a pair of stockings might just do the trick.

A variety of unique back seam stockings, and also back seamed Cuban heel stockings.

Back Seam Stockings

Back seam stockings look elegant and draw attention to the leg. Some women are not particularly fond of back seam stockings, since back they require more care, that means the seam has to be lined up straight, in order for back seam stockings to look right. We think that it's well worth the effort. The result you achieve with stockings that have a back seam is very sophisticated and also very sexy.

Accessoirize with a pair of High Heel Pumps. This will transform any ordinary outfit, into something more special.

The most popular materials on bodystockings come in form fitting lace and fishnet. They make the body look shapely and sexy. They come in open crotch for easy access, bodysuits and catsuits are usually with snap or closed crotch. I like all of the styles either in spaghetti straps, halter tops or high collared. If you wanted you could use the bodystocking as an under garment such as a camisole or stockings with a dress or skirt. A lot of couples choose the open breast bodystockings.

Fishnet Stockings are usually made of nylon, or a mixture of nylon and spandex, called Lycra, or industrial net. They come in a variety of colors, but black is still the most sold color, they also come in different net structures such as

Industrial Net Lycra Fishnet Stockings

made of Lycra, and stronger than regular nylon fishnets. Lycra Fishnet Stockings keep their shape, and it seems to pay out, to spend.a little bit more money, if you want to wear your Fishnet Stockings more than just once.

There has always been a certain stigma attached to Fishnet Stockings, since they were mostly worn by showgirls, exotic dancers, or strictly for private us in the bedroom.

As times and fashions have changed, and people see their idols, such as rock stars wearing them in their music videos, Fishnet Stockings became more and more acceptable as street wear.

Stockings used to be held up by a garter or a girdle. New materials make it possible, Stockings with silicone backing, that stay up longer and still stay up even after a wash. Silicone backing means that silicone has been added to the inside of the top elastic band.

Some people find them uncomfortable, because they might have a stronger grip they regular stay up Stockings, this might depend on the measurement of the individuals thighs.

Therefore also available in plus sizes.

Plus Size Stockings

Stay up Stockings definitely provide an advantage, no worrying, if the Stockings will hold up, and you can wear them under tit hgt fitting clothing, without wearing a garter belt. Or if you wear lingerie with removable garters, the garters can just be removed, and you can still wear Stockings, to give it that sophisticated look, that only Stockings can provide.
