How to Buy the Best Pantyhose for Your Needs
Almost every woman's dresser drawer holds a collection of
pantyhose with a side of
knee-highs, and perhaps a pair or two of
tights and special
stockings. It's tricky to find the longest-lasting brands that also perfectly smooth and fit you, but once you do, we know you'll follow that brand forever. Even so, it's good to get a wider range of choices in case you see a new style you'd like to try, so we have a quick guide to best we've found right here.
For long-lasting tights in ultra-sheer to opaque styles, you can't go wrong with
Danskin. We know from experience that these will last for years with proper care, and they remain supportive and comfortable, never losing their shape. Our other favorite is the
Spanx shaping pantyhose with exceptional support.
Hanes has a great selection of styles, from hi-cut
lace pantyhose to their reliable reinforced toes. We really like the
Hanes Smooth Illusions contouring hosiery for an instant slimming effect in a completely sheer style for an invisible, energizing massage.
Jobst is another great choice, a brand you might not know as well, which has specialized in women's stockings from ultra-sheer to opaque and lovely
lingerie for a very long time.
While almost every brand covers the full range of sizes, two designers focus on those who don't believe in one-size-fits-all, and who know that a perfect fit makes all the difference. First,
Just My Size understands that women have different shapes, and while a wider waist works well on one, a different woman will require more room in the thighs, so they make several different sizes for a variety of curvaceous body types.
The other brand that's worthy of your attention is
Assets by Sara Blakely, which has an entire collection devoted to
maternity pantyhose with plenty of stretch and material strength so the hose never loses its shape. An unusual underbelly support lifts uncomfortable pressure away, and these otherwise act as you'd expect for pantyhose, smoothing hips, thighs and bottom for all nine months in complete comfort.
