Expert Answer

Moisturizing your hands before putting them on will help. Or you can wear gloves.

Question

I have pointed fingernails. Should I put on plastic gloves when putting on tights?

Hannah

Community Answer

Yes, otherwise you will damage the fabric, create a run and eventually destroy the piece of clothing.

Question

Is there a product that can help with sweaty or sticky legs?

Community Answer

Look for "Summer Pantyhose" or "Summer Weight Pantyhose." They are pantyhose that are lighter and may help your legs feel a little cooler. Trasparenze is a company that makes ultra sheer summer pantyhose which are available online. If you normally wear underwear under your pantyhose, you might try wearing pantyhose with nothing underneath. Most women find this uncomfortable, but a smaller number of women prefer it. Wearing panties and pantyhose is going to trap more heat than pantyhose alone, and the extra heat will contribute to sweaty legs.

Question

Do tights go under or over panties?

Community Answer

Over, usually, because it might look funny or it would feel uncomfortable otherwise, but I suppose you could wear them the other way around if you wanted!

Question

Could I pull the pantyhose up past my waist?

Community Answer

Yes, if you wish, or if there is more material to be pulled higher than your waist. I like to pull mine up around my chest area.

Question

Will wearing pantyhose cause circulation issues?

Community Answer

Not if it's the right size. Even if it's the wrong size, it's pretty unlikely.

Question

How can I tell which side is the back if there is no tag?

Community Answer

Check to see if one side is larger in the pelvic area which would indicate that it was the back. Some pantyhose are made to be worn either way though so you can choose either direction.

Should I apply moisturizer to my legs before wearing tights/pantyhose?

Yes, you should. This is especially helpful in the colder months, when the air is dry.

Question

Do they make pantyhose for men?

Brandon Weaver

Community Answer

Yes! There are brands like Activskin and Glamory that make pantyhose especially for men. But men can wear any pantyhose they choose, as they're a unisex garment. I'm a man and personally like L'eggs and Conte brands of pantyhose the best.

Question

Should I wear underwear if I wear a pantyhose?

Community Answer

Yes. Pantyhose is not a substitute for underwear. It goes on top of underwear, just like leggings.

Do the pantyhose come up to your boobs if you're a 13 year old girl?

No. As they sound, a "Pantyhose" only come up to your waist or hips, however you want to make it comfortable.

Question

What kind of pantyhose are best for men?

Community Answer

There are a lot of good options meant for dancers, some even have supportive options for keeping all in place. Search up "men's dance tights" and you should find plenty of good durable options!

Question

What is the darkened thigh part on the hose used for?

Community Answer

It is usually either a thickened portion for ensuring strength of the hose, or a portion that is slightly snugger to hold the legs of the hose up better. Sometimes it is both.

Question

Which is best for men to wear, hold-ups or tights?

Community Answer

Hold ups tend to feel better and less constricting. But it would be best for you to try either and see what fits for you comfort wise. Each person has their own comfort level.
