Quick help!! Best pantyhose? (Shopping today)

post #1 of 10
Thread Starter 
OK silly question, I know. I haven't had to wear pantyhose in YEARS thankfully but I've got 3 weeks working in a bank where it will be necessary. (I work mostly from home - but will have to be IN a bank a few weeks at a time over the next year.)
What I do remember is that I could bust a hole a day in any given pantyhose until I found one brand (can't remember now) that was indestructible!
Flash forward to 2009. What is the sturdiest brand or what are you most loyal to?
While I'm cost-conscious, nothing irritates me more than snagging pantyhose in 2 seconds flat so cost is NOT an issue.
That said, I'm shopping TODAY as I cannot bear the thought of shopping over this weekend and I have to be in the office on Monday. So I can keep any 'order online' recs handy for the future but looking to grab somethng today at the mall.

Thanks for any speedy response and brand recommendations!

Well - I can't remember exactly without being in front of the pantyhose section LOL, but I am 99% sure I like Sheer Endurance.

I love Victoria's secret hoisery (hate their bras) and it seems to hold up well and has a silky feel. Sears also carries a sturdy less luxurious pantyhose.

Tights are less snaggable than pantyhose, if that is an option.

I mail order by the dozen from OneHanesplace.com. They are slightly irregular, but they don't have runs and one leg isn't longer than the other. In most cases I don't notice a thing. Sometimes the reinforced toe is a little longer than usual. Been doing it for years, though. I've had to wear pantyhose for the last 1o years of employment.

Leggs sheer energy or active support are pretty sturdy. I prefer Hanes Silk reflections. Often thigh high.

I used buy mine from Vicky's back in the day when I wore pantyhose. They held up surprisingly well and sometimes had deals if you bought a certain number of pairs.

Whne I am forced to wear them I usually get them at Talbots-buy 3 get 1 free which is about 20% off or so. The hold up really well and I routnely machine wash them in a mesh bag.

Thanks so much, ladies!
I bought some VS on an excellent deal -- to hold me over for this trip. I will definitely be trying some of the others to compare down the road.

Sheer Energy. In my experience, very resistant to snags and runs.
