NWR- how long do stockings last you?

Muffinbutton, on July 19, 2016 at 9:33 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 11

I have to wear stockings about three or four days a week for work. Idk if I'm doing something heinously wrong or what, but ever since I was a kid I can't wear a pair of pantyhose more than once or twice before I get a run in them. It doesn't matter if I buy expensive ones or cheapies. Is this normal? What is wrong with me?

    Same with me. I can't wear them more than twice, any brand.

    I haven't worn them in years, but when I did, I never got more than a couple of wears out of a pair before they were ruined.

    The only ones I have ever worn multiple times were dance tights that I used in costuming. I don't mean like the ballet pink normality tights, but actual pantyhose style, fleshtone hosiery that are meant for stage performances.

    TBH, after my experience with them versus regular hose, I don't think I would ever go back. They're just slightly thicker than hose, but damn, they'll make ANYONE'S legs look amazing.

    Target's brand Merona has amazing stockings ! They're like $10 for a pair but more than worth the price. I love them ! They're really nice and thick. I have two pairs and people ask me all the time "where did you find those stockings?"

    I switched to tights instead of stockings. I have a tattoo on my leg I have to cover, and the thicker tights worked perfectly! I got the kohls brand (apt 9? I think) and I've had one pair for almost six months.

    @mna AGREED about the dance tights. Smiley smile Although, I STILL manage to tear thru those fairly fast, considering how thick they are. I am partial to tan fishnets onstage, but not for life.

    OP, I'm same.... hose should run screaming in the other direction when it sees me, lol.

    On the rare occasion that I actually wear them, I buy two pair because I know I'm going to run one of them just getting them on. I tend to skip them most of the time.

    Thanks for the suggestions. Next time I buy I'll check out the target brand and kohls.

    But a bigger thank you because now I feel like less of a child.
