Brands

Materials

There are different kinds of pantyhoses and nylon stockings, depending on the materials that are used. Some are manufactured with sheer materials while others are made from opaque materials. There are even different levels of sheerness in some brands.

When using it during the day, the pantyhose is best to be a little bit sheer because too thick stockings during daylight may appear really heavy and dark. One disadvantage in wearing this is the fact that the material is so lightweight that it easily tears. For evenings, those stockings made from much heavier materials can be worn.

It is also a good idea to look for pantyhoses that provide support to the legs. This is especially recommended for people who work while standing.
