    I do not understand the bare leg, no stocking craze.......I can't wear shoes without something on my feet (unless they're sandals).

    Must be my age, and where I live (Minnesota).

    And it's about time the sky-high heels take a nosedive, too....................but maybe that's cuz I'm jealous I cannot wear them :wink: :wink:

    Pantyhose are like tights that you can see through. They're very fragile and run easily. Many women complain about them. Many men say "fishnets or it's a wasted effort"...or maybe that's just me...

    Survival Device:laugh:

    •You can wear pantyhose as extra layer beneath your normal clothes to keep warm in cold weather.
    •Use pantyhose to prevent bites and stings. Wear pantyhose under your shorts or pants to protect against chiggers, ticks, and other biting insects.
    •If you are going to be trekking through water, wear them to protect yourself from jellyfish stings and leaches.
    •Stretch a pair of pantyhose over a “Y” shaped branch or stick and use as a skimmer or a fishing net. You won’t catch a 10lb catfish in this, but you may be able to pick up a few smaller fish to eat or use as bait for a larger fish
    •Use pantyhose to secure bait while fishing. Place bait in the pantyhose and secure it to a tree or anything sturdy in order to to keep from losing bait while fishing.
    •Use pantyhose as a pouch or bag to carry things.
    •Use pantyhose to fasten or bind things together instead of twine or bungee cords..
    •You can use pantyhose as a belt to keep your pants hiked up.
    •In first aid, you can utilize pantyhose as a tourniquet or to hold and/or secure a bandage or hot and cold pack.
    •Use pantyhose as a first round filter to strain any collected water. The water will still need to be treated or boiled but this first line of defense will help to clear the water of any large particles.

    You're overlooking another obvious use...survival in the Zombie Apocalypse! LOL (Or just plain old survival if you're ever stranded in the middle of nowhere)

    On "Talking Dead" with Chris Hardwick, the show that follows "Walking Dead", they interviewed one of the writers or set designers who gave several usage tips for nylons... A belt for your pants, restraints (duh), wearing for warmth, a bag to put smallish items in, filtering stuff out of drinking water...can't remember any others off the top of my head.

    Well, down here in Florida pantyhose are used for sex or robbing a convience store. Too hot for anything else, but it does remind me of an old joke.

    Old man in a retirement home has been trying for the longest to his lady neighbor to have sex with him. She has refused several times until he finally offers her $10,000. She agrees. He wobbles across the hall to her room that night all cleaned up with flowers. She let's him in dressed very sexily and they begin with soft kisses and end up make WILD PASSIONATE LOVE.
    As they both lay their in the after glow he says to her....If I knew how tight that thing was I would have offered you twice as much ages ago....she replies....If I knew you was able to get that hard I would have taken off my pantyhose. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    Never wear them but stockings are great for tying up.

    You beat me to it! They don't leave marks like straps or cuffs :devil:

    I say fashion accessory. I wear stockings of some sort daily, sometimes with garters (I really love garters). And I was also taught to always wear them to church unless you have sandals on.

    I use them to wash my socks, I cram all my socks in there and run it thru the wash and then I throw them in the dryer and WAHLAH, all my socks are still a pair.

    I also cut the feet off and fill them with change in case I need to beat someones a*s. Great weapon.

    I always wear lace stay ups (sheer or opaque) with a garter belt under my work attire, I feel sexy and professional at the same time. Paired with black pumps, my partner loves it!

    ^This

    Tights in the Winter are okay, but only if someone drags me to one of those cold states and I have to wear a skirt.

    Just wear pants...

    Even with pantyhose, you have to shave your legs. Sorry, it's winter in Wisconsin, most of us rock the Sasquatch look until the temp hits 50.

    :huh:
