Hello Mamas
I know this board is generally for questions about kids and such but I need some help. I work in a business casual environment and typically wear knee length skirts to work ( I am a little heavier so the skirts make me feel better than pants!) anyways I cannot find a pair of nylons to last me more than 1-2 days TOPS! its so frustrating...and expensive! I have bought the standards brands you find and target or wal-mart and have bought the Assets brand a couple times but those are 12 bucks a pop and dont last much longer. Any of you Mamas know of any good long lasting nylons?
Thanks!!

Victoria Secret nylons are the best and last the longest. There is nothing more irritating than spending 12 bucks for a pair of nylons only to have them snag and run on the first wearing. I have some VS hose that I have had for more than a year.

I also agree that tights are a really good option too. I wear those all the time as well.

I buy tights because they usually last a lot longer and are warmer for the winter. Good luck!

I have the same problems. I like the Victoria Secret brand. This last time I purchased some tights from WalMart, sorry can not remember the brand they are great and think they are a lot more comfy.

I'm a little heavier myself and swear by tights. Textured tights, opaque tights... any type. I think the Target brand are great but I do have a couple of pairs of Lane Bryant tights that are at least 5 years old. I haven't worn pantyhose in years.

Personally, I have always had great luck with Leggs sheer energy. And I get them at the outlet mall, so they are reasonably priced.

I tend to stick with tights. The best brand I have ever bought is DKNY. I wore the same pair for 3 winters! I was even able to put them in the washing machine! I do need to warn you though... the first time I "squeezed" into them I had to put up a fight to get into them! I swear, I broke a sweat! haha Get past that first wear and you should be good to go!
