Outdoor Hose Report - Organize Hosing

One of the off days from regular work hence decided to go out during the day hours to run some errands, and also gaining further outdoor hose confidence.  Needed something to organize those pantyhose in my wardrobe.

Since I haven't had lunch and it was late, I might as well do it altogether when I'm out.  Slipped into my favourite Propeds Elegant All Sheers Support Pantyhose in Beige, with my favourite no show socks and low back loafers, above knees linen berms and singlet since it was a sunny afternoon.

As the sun was pretty bright today, the beige wrapping over my legs appear to be a little pale than usual; so at the back of my mind, I was analyzing if I wore the wrong shade today; but after some mental inventory check, it was all in order.  Took the usual alternative path as the multipurpose shelter (MPS) was occupied, and crossed the road, walking past a few female domestic workers, homemakers without getting any attention.

Soon, I reached the LRT platform by foot and saw quite a handful of commuters getting ready for the arriving train.  Boarded and took the space at the inactive door till I reached my transit station.  Took the front space near the door seat, beside a homemaker and her teen boy, who probably were too occupied talking, while the rest, handful of commuters were either gazing in blank space, or just occupied with their smartphones.

Alighted at a wrong station and made my way back up to the platform again; saw a few middle aged ladies and men who were looking in my direction, but I wasn't too conscious about whether they spotted my hosed legs, and took my stand at a bright area to get back to the subway.

Soon, I arrived at my destination.  I have to walk a couple of minutes to reach the traffic lights before I can gain access to the mall; decided to walk normally without acting busy on my cellphone.  After the lights turned green, I walked right into the mall, thinking back that even the man opposite waiting to cross, before this, was looking elsewhere though he was facing me directly.

Took my time to find what I needed at Daiso, but hunger caved in, so I went out for a quick bite before coming back.  At the food court, everyone was simply busy eating or chatting instead of looking at my hosed legs.  So done and up I went again.  I noticed a male banking staff was coming behind me as I went up the escalator, but I stood and allowed it take me up no matter if he is going to look or not.

Got what I need (saw some pantyhose in Daiso but didn't get any), went for some grocery reloading and made my way back.  No observance from anyone though I was standing in a "for all to see" spot on the LRT platform.  Took my regular path back, passing some motorists, male pedestrians and soon, a mother with her young children.  Got my letters out and saw a man pushing his bicycle slowly from another side, facing me.  As I usually walk fast, I didn't bother if he was looking at my hosed legs, got my lift and went up.  Home James.

After some outdoor experiences, I realized the snug feeling at toes were not due to misfit pantyhose, but rather the design of the shoes that made me wedge forward as I walk.

Outdoor Hose Report - Relaxed Repantyhosement

Weekend grocery restocking on a smaller scale.  As wife was out for a gathering, I decided to make use of the daylight hours to go out with hosed legs.  Looking through my inventory after a series of stockup on my favourite brand, I decided to try on the Nude Summer Shade from Propeds Elegant All Sheer Support Pantyhose.  Though it wasn't the optimum size, it was still a comfortable feet.

After doing some visual analysis against the sunlight, I decided to revert to Beige since the nude shades are too light for my skintone; decided to wear back the Propeds Sheer Support Pantyhose which has a regular panty, though yarn is a little glossier than the Elegants.  Went with one of my favourite above knee berms, noshow socks and loafers, and off I went.

There was another passenger; a middle aged man, in the same elevator with me during way down but he didn't notice my hosed legs; probably the colour blended well with the warm light.

When I was walking through the streets to the grocer's in the mall basement, I wasn't bothered if anyone was looking at my hosed legs, especially the little gloss it could show in the bright sunlight.  Went around the various stations, taking my time with selection, and finally cashing out at self-check station; despite getting assistance from the male staff, he didn't notice anything as while he was walking towards me.

After grocery was done, I took the busier escalators and did not do the "express walk" up the overtaking lanes; instead, took my time to walk out, past crowds, dining areas; even young parents walking towards me did not notice anything.

Reached the lobby and took the ready elevator, home James.

Outdoor Hose Report - Midjourney Restocking

This is the 3rd consecutive day in the week, to show hosed legs after a working day.

Went to the usual foodcourt Gent's to change into casuals with above knee berms, no-show socks and loafters.  Took the rear pavement of the library; raining again hence I was a little concerned about water splatters making my hosed legs look more prominent, but heck; no one stop and look in the rain except at waiting areas such as traffic lights.

As I waited at the traffic lights, motorists lined the road when green man appeared.  Walked across the road, accompanied by passing pedestrians wielding brollies, everyone went on with their ways without paying much attention to my hosed legs.

Entered the mall, crossed over the overhead link and reached the long and croweded bus stop which was just behind a street shopping area.  Took a small run but my bus ran off, hence I walked back to mid junction, without bothering about any glances from those middle aged women seated benches where I ran past.

Soon, my bus arrived, took my short ride and transited at the subway station.  Since I'm a little earlier, I decided to stopover at midjourney station to do some restocking for my favourite pantyhose.  The last time I came, I was still shy to shop as there were many middle aged salesladies around.  This time round, I'm in hose legs with berms.  Took the escalators nearest to Isetan, passing eateries and walking right into the hosiery section.  Found my optimum size (L-LL) and there were only 3 Beige pairs left; seemed like it's a popular shade as the remaining were nudes that were abundant in quantity.

"Swept" off the last 3 pairs, walked up to the cashier near the cosmetic boothes, with lots of cosmetic salesladies (most are tastefully hosed).  Initially, I was hesitant to stand right behind the customer who was almost done with cashing her purchase as it will put my hosed legs in full sight (lights were very bright in this section for some reasons), but heck, I went up and stood to wait for my turn, without bothering about how or if those girls will look at me.

After paying, walked past some promotion event areas in the store, saw some Sarah Borghi pantyhose on offer, but didn't really look into detail as I've already got what I needed.

Took the same crowded route nearest to the subway station, without hurrying and took a gate which soon got crowded with commuters.

Made my way up to the LRT station soon; with some stopping even on the express lane as it was hitting the peak hour for offwork commuters.  As I walked to the platform, saw a young mother with her walking toddler but none she wasn't looking at me or noticing my hosed legs.

Soon, I was walking past a traffic junction lined with motorists, some male pedestrians and soon, I was up the lift and home James.

Outdoor Hose Report - Refuelling and Hosed Up

Another lesson day of the week; weather had been cooling by the time I got off from work to get ready to refuel for the evening.  Decided to take a step further this time to gain hose experience by going to have dinner with exposed hosed legs.

Went to the nearest food court's Gent's for casual change, and slipped on my favourite Propeds Elegant All Sheer Support Pantyhose in Beige, along with an above knee berms, no show socks and low back loafers.   Took the busier pavement of the side nearer to my usual dining area where there are more pedestrians around.  Since traffic light wasn't ready, I had to wait at the junction with full view of hosed legs.  I didn't take the path which passes a beautician where the girls (sometimes in opaques or sheer hose) can be seen distributing flyers outside at certain hours; shall leave this to the next round.  I deliberately passed a taxi stand where a handful of commuters were waiting, a hosed OL in black pantyhose puffing away with her companion before I reached the traffic lights heading to my dining area.

Ordered my food, had my dinner (hosed legs in full view despite the familiar faces of the workers there) and made my way to library for some revision before classes.  From the journey after slipping into hose and berms, I took random visual scans around, walking naturally and noticed no one actually looked at my hosed legs.  During mealtime, I saw a bunch of male office workers seated beside me in a group dining; as I was done, I picked up my stuff, walked confidently pass them, passed working staff and a crowded traffic crossing where I came from.

Soon, I was in the library revising.  I chose a bench seat as the couches are more comfortable than high tablechair sets.  As I sat the edge of berms slided to half thigh, exposing my hosed legs more.  Librarians, library patrons walked past me and I wasn't bothered whether they will be looking at my hosed legs as I continue with my revision.

As I was about to go for classes, a big sized guy plonked himself on the same bench as me, flipping his book and muttered to himself in exclamation; I could make out things like "...first time.." in his spoken dialect; he may be looking in my direction and commenting about his "visual surprise" but I didn't bother.
Entered class as usual, went through lesson smoothly while hosed legs could be seen peeping back at me from below my own table area; my favourite classmate still didn't notice though we were sitting near in the small classroom.  Last to leave the class, noticing if my teacher spotted it but she didn't, moved out with other departing students and towards the subway interchange.  Passed a pub restaurant where many Caucasian patrons were seated near the walkway to the mall.

Didn't want to hurry though there was train leaving, hence that gave me additional exposure time till the next train arrived.  As I was waiting, I noticed an OL facing me, 3 gates ahead of me and possibly spotted my hosed legs but I wasn't bothered.

Boarded a pretty empty train to transit and stood near the grabpole, across the transit station and then a crowded train homebound.  No one in the train bothered to look (based on my surveillance intel).  As I was reaching the transit station at my hometown, a lady took the empty seat infront of me where my hosed legs are at full view (she was glued to her phone), while a man, alighting, seemingly took glances at my hosed legs.

Caught the sight of a lady seated at the corner through glass reflection, and noticed she was looking at my hosed legs direction.  Didnt bother and once again, took the central area as train was reaching my station.  Ascended the crowded central escalator to LRT platform and got stuck at the express lane due to the commuting crowd.  That gave me some time of exposure and I heard a PRC lady behind me talking about "pantyhose looking odd", probably at the sight of my hosed legs.

Entered the LRT and took stand near the exit door.  Despite having hosed legs at full view of a few lady passengers, none of them were looking.

Took a regular paced walk from LRT, passing pedestrian walkways without attracting weird glances, and home James

Hose Review - SuDeMei (塑得美) Sheer to Waist Pantyhose

Today I'm going to review the above pantyhose which I've tried.

This is a Taiwan-made product which I received from a friend.  Comes in a multipack set of 6.
SuDeMei (塑得美)Sheer to Waist Pantyhose - Personal stash.

Waistband
Regular waistband that grips the skin comfortably.  Being not of additional width, there is a tendency to roll down if worn too high.

Material
The material is especially soft yet comfortable when stretched on.  Despite being soft, it has a better grip as compared to that of Woman-deare.  The feel of the material suggests that it could be about 15 denier, with a little gloss.  Yarn is quite delicate, hence runs can appear easily.

Panty
Sheer to waist hence there are no awkward leg-panty joint lines to show when wearing short bottoms.

Foot
Sandaltoe construction, hence it's perfect to be worn with sandals / open toe shoes.

It does not provide support since this isn't a support range of hosiery.

I only have Skin tone; according to sources, it comes only in skin tone, which is suitable enough for everyday wearing.

Comfort: 8/10
Durability: 4/10 (estimated wear count: 5)
Fit: 7/10

Conclusion
Not the most durable pantyhose but it's suitable for light wearing.  Remember to bring an extra pair if you decide to go out in these, in case of unexpected emergencies.

Hose Review - Woman-deare (衛美得) Anti Embolism Pantyhose

Today I'm going to review the above pantyhose which I've tried.
Woman-deare Anti Embolism Pantyhose.  Personal stash.

This is a Taiwan-made product which I received from a friend.  Comes in a multipack set of 5.

Construction
The overall garment is light material, delicatet to the touch.  Panty-leg joint is regularly built.

Waistband
Regular waistband that grips the skin comfortably.  Being not of additional width, there is a tendency to roll down if worn too high.

Material
The material is especially soft yet comfortable when stretched on.  Being soft, it has a tendency of sliding down despite giving a comfortable fit.  The feel of the material suggests that it could be about 15 denier.

Panty
Leg-panty joint is quite wide and visible hence this is definitely not suitable for short bottom attire.  The seam down the center isn't quite strong, hence runs may start if overstretched on a bigger wearer.

Foot
Reinforced toe gives it additional protection against runs when worn in shoes.

This is a regular pantyhose, which I believe has a higher spandex content which gives a better grip to the skin.

Currently I only have black which is most suitable as part of work attire.

Comfort: 8/10
Durability: 4/10 (estimated wear count: TBA)
Fit: 7/10

Conclusion
A pair which is comfortable to be worn daily.

Outdoor Hose Report - Additional Silky Exposure

Off work earlier as usual; hence I went to the nearby foodcourt's Gent's to change into casual wear so as to avoid being spotted by colleagues who finish around my timing.

Time to decommission another pair of black drugstore housebrand hose which has served me well for almost 20 wears which I wear under workpants.  Decided to show more hosed legs today by wearing a low back loafers and no-show socks.  Slipped into my favourite Propeds Elegant All Sheers Support Pantyhose, Beige along with above knee berms and walked out after getting that "heaty face sensation" off.

Walked across the library, passing walking pedestrians and those sitting at benches outside sheltered area and waited at the traffic light to my restocking zone.  Did a quick visual scan across and got busy on my phone; no one spotted my hosed legs.   Once lights turn green, I moved across with normal pace, passing young teriary girls, boys, working class and subsequently some diners seated at restaurants just along the walkway, right into the mall without anyone spotting my hosed legs.

Took the escalator up; this time I decided not to walk up quickly but allowed it to bring me to the next level.  There were OLs behind me who could immediately spot my hosed legs but it didn't bother me.  Went on to my regular store to stock up more of these hose I'm wearing since it's already a "spot on" style and color to my preference; didn't spend alot of time at the hosiery section as I already knew what I needed so it was a quick pick and go.  At the cashier, there was an elderly family but none of them were bothered spotting my hosed legs.

After paying (served by a sweet looking girl who appears to be a tertiary student), I walked past the main areas where female sales promoters could be seen before exiting the store; slow strolls to the escalator down to run some errands before taking the subway; queued behind a Malay couple while the lady was facing me as her partner was using the machine; there was another OL queuing for other ATMs beside me, at a distance where my legs could be seen in full view.  When both were done, none of them noticed my legs and so I did my stuff and headed for the subway.

Walked through the interchange, climbing stairs without hurrying in worry to be spotted in hosed legs, I did another visual scan around me quickly as I walked up to the platform.  Not the least uncrowded but I wasn't bothered and went to my usual gate.  While I was waiting for the train, I noticed a middle aged OL on the other side looking in my direction; she could be looking at my hosed legs but no matter.

During the trainride, visual scanned randomly and noticed no one was looking at my legs; not even the OLs sitting at the door seats facing me as I was standing at the inactive door side.  I chose this position as it was in full view of anyone who walked in to gain confidence.  As train was reaching my destination, walked nearer to door, stood in the middle section near the grab poles (an even more full view position) till the doors opened.

Walked naturally out, took my time walking up the "express" side of the escalator as it was a long way up at the transit station, reaching the LRT platform.  During the train ride, there was a middle-aged man standing facing me where he could see my hosed legs but I noticed he wasn't bothered.  Upon exiting, walked pass an OL (I noticed yarn color made my legs look a little tan under the warm lighting), passed the exit gates and crossing roads, other pedestrians who were completely oblivious to my hosed legs.

Took my time to open mailbox and got a vacant lift ready, home James.

Outdoor Hose Report - Weekend Repantyhosement

A grocery run for the weekend.  Though I was up at 4am, only went to the grocer when the sun was up and a more regular hour.  This was planned to gain outdoor confidence.

After getting some work done till the sun was up, I slipped into my Propeds Elegant All Sheer Pantyhose in Beige, along with above knee length berms, no show socks and loafers along with a singlet.

Took the lift down and it stopped at several floors; first, a couple entered, then a dog lover with his pet.  I was located at the rear of the lift where my hosed feet could be seen full view when the lift opens.  As the lift descended, I noticed the lady was looking somewhat in my direction through the corner of my eye; she might be looking at her phone or the dog but no matter.

The couple were the first to exit at the carpark level, leaving me with the guy and his dog.  As he commanded his dog to sit properly, which it did, he was bending forward to touch his dog right in front me as his right faced the lift doors; this was also a prominent position for him to spot my hosed legs but he didn't.

When the lift reached the first floor, I took the route passing letterboxes which was more popular, instead of routing to the back.  Passed the regular shelter, saw a few neighbours walking to and fro but no one noticed.  I took the shortcut across the road as there were no cars, landed at the other side of the road; cars and pedestrians could be seen along here but from what I see, no one were looking at my hosed legs so far; passed an eatery before I entered the mall; which was a crowded place, still no one noticing.

As it was a weekend replenishment, I spent more time at the supermart.  Grabbed what I needed after walking past several areas in the supermart, of some were crowded with people but I just stood there and got what I got.  While going around, I saw the working staff grouped and briefed by their supervisor.  One of the ladies is in nude tone pantyhose and I walked past them, hosed legs unnoticed.   After getting what I needed, I went to a place to pack my items before payment, also where it wasn't isolated and crowded.  Saw the same supermart lady in pantyhose walking past me as I made my way to the cashier again; so far no unusual glances.

After I was done, took the more crowded escalator up; although there were not many people in the mall at this hour, many could be seen walking around.  As I exited the mall, I took the route on the other side of the eatery, stopped at traffic light to get the lights ready, still no unusual glances from what I can see.

Took my time to walk past traffic lights, passed a couple with pram, lone male walkers, passing right by their side and none noticed.  Got into an empty and ready lift, up I went, home James.

Street Hose Observation

Out early as usual today, but it will be a hose-free day till evening as there's an outdoor event later.

Based myself in a public sitting area to have my self-packed breakfast; noticed 2 OLs walking past me who had pantyhose on; the skintone they wore was something matching their natural color, so it gave an enhancing look, rather than making it too prominent.  Guess the hosiery tips websites were true.

There should be ample time for me to do some restocking later; looking forward to the evening so I can be in my second skin for comfort.

Outdoor Hose Report - Repantyhosement

Outdoor Hose Report (updated)

Wanted to go out in berms and hose earlier but was occupied, but eventually got out of the house for a grocery run.  Since I have been to the grocer's nearby, today's venture will be at the bigger store at the other side of the road.

Slipped into the L-LL size of the Propeds Elegant All Sheer Support Pantyhose in Beige, put on my no show socks and loafers since I didn't properly "expose" these hosed legs at the last 2 outdoor experiences, I shall keep the footwear minimal and comfortable.  Wore a pair of above knee berms to maximise this.

Took the lift down, walked past a sheltered MPH, pass a man and woman (OL heading home after work) who didn't notice it though there were lamps lighting the pavement.  Crossed the traffic light with car headlamps shining directly at my hosed legs as I walked on (no, this time I didn't try to look busy), took the busiest escalator down to the grocer's at basement.  Walked casually around with quite a handful of shoppers around in the bright store.   Before reaching the cashier, I deliberately weaved through a mother who was pushing trolley of purchases and went ahead to make my payment.  Passed the "roadshow" booth outside the grocer's, a man in shirt and pants, and took the travelator.

When I reached my block's lobby, a guy was also waiting for the lift; I decided to stand behind him as I still had a little worry about him noticing it (unavoidable when we enter the lift).  Soon, the lift came; I pressed my level and he got his, at the corner of my eye, noticed he probably took a glance without bothering much.  Soon, he was out at his level and I had the lift all to myself till my level.

Hose-itched legs

Wore my durable black drugstore pantyhose to work and when I removed them, the skin started to itch considerably so I thought it wasn't the best day in hose.

After reading up, I found some possible reasons from this website:

http://www.veindirectory.org/question/why-are-my-legs-so-itchy-after-i-take-off-my-compression-stockings-982

It might be due to the material, and since it's already well worn, more than 25 wears with patches of wornouts all over, with a run at the panty joint at last, it's gone in the trashcan.



Hose Review - Propeds Sheer Support Pantyhose

Today I'm going to review the above pantyhose which I've tried.
Propeds Support Pantyhose. 
Image Courtesy of Lotsagetsngrabs

This pair of of pantyhose is packed neatly into a 2-pair pack, which makes it just right to carry a spare in case of emergencies.

Waistband
Regular soft and decently wide waistband that holds on to the body snugly.

Material
The yarn has a soft feel to the skin with a fine weaving, hence it doesn't grip the skin like with a claw-like sensation, like some drugstore housebrands.

Panty
This pantyhose features a regular, panty hence works well for regular wearing as it provides adequate support at the midsection, as well as a "one-piece solution" for the lower body.

Foot
Made with a reinforced toe, runs are protected at toe area of footwear, where most frictions occur.  The yarn is a little shiny despite being 20 denier, and yet appear thinner but having the same denier level with the Elegant All Sheers.

Support strength is just moderate and is just right for me.

It comes in various attractive tones to enhance the legs when worn so it will be just right for everyday wearing.

Comfort: 7/10
Durability: 7/10 (estimated wear count: TBA)
Fit: 7/10

Conclusion
So far this is my favourite pantyhose.  Chose Beige as it matches my skintone best.




Hose Review - Propeds Elegant All Sheer Support Pantyhose

Another pair of pantyhose up for review.

This pantyhose comes  in a single pair pack. 
Propeds Elegant All Sheer Support Pantyhose. 
Image Courtesy of Lotsagetsngrabs
Considering its price that doubles that of the Support model, the quality has to be good, so remember to bring your own spare.

Waistband
Slightly wider than the Support counterpart, the waistband holds on to the body snugly.

Material
The yarn feels more elastic with a better fit, hence it grips the skin better.  Despite being 20 denier, it does feel thicker, probably due to the finer weaving.  Also, it features matt look as compared to the Support counterpart, hence it goes well if you do not want the legs to look too glossy. 

Panty
This pantyhose is Sheer to Waist, hence works well to go with short bottoms wear to avoid awkward panty seam joint at the thigh area.

Foot
This comes with a sandaltoe so it works perfect with sandals or open toe shoes.  However, do take measure to keep toenails or shoes smooth to prevent runs.

Support strength is still graded as moderate and is just right for me.  However, it does feel more firm due to the construction of the yarn.

It comes in various attractive tones to enhance the legs when worn so it will be just right for everyday wearing.

Comfort: 8/10
Durability: 7/10 (estimated wear count: TBA)
Fit: 8/10

Conclusion
By comfort level, this is one of the pantyhose suitable for daily wear.  Chose Beige as it matches my skintone best.

Outdoor Hose Report - Reading Confidence Course

Class day and ended work as usual with ample time for dinner, homework and hose replenishment. Since Nude tone was too pale after a couple of examination under white light, I decided to get a darker, and closest possible shade to my skintone.

After a quick dinner, went to BHG which was near my school, this is the 2nd 3rd time I'm using the samples, slipped my hands into the various tones such as Silk Beige and Beige; this time, I made sure the light wasn't blocked by own shadow(possibly why I didn't get the right shade the last time round) and chose carefully. There were female customers and staff walking past me, but they didn't bother about me (ears still having a little of that awkward warmth that faded off as time goes by). The suitable color turned out be beige, so I got the following:

Propeds Support Pantyhose (2 pair pack) Beige
Propeds Elegant Sheer Support Pantyhose x 2 pairs Beige

Went to the library's toilet to change into casuals with berms before heading down to the study area. As the hose wrapped over my legs, the first sight told me it was the right color. Done with changing, headed to the study area and did my revision. As the desks were all occupied, I had to take the couch that doesn't have proper support for writing, so that'll be the best exposed challenge.

As I was doing my work, I noticed that this pair of hose is a little shiny at steep angles which could be seen at close proximity. However, many walked past me without noticing(or at least to my awareness). While I walked into this area right in the corner, I tried evading some close proximity library users but later realized none of them were looking at my hosed legs, so I should just walk normally past these people.

After revision, I headed for classes; spotted a classmate infront of me so I carefully walked behind her; she was going to the ladies on1st floor so I went up to class at 2nd floor, entered classroom, sat at the first row. Teacher did not notice my hosed legs.

Favourite female classmate came later than me and sat beside me as usual...was a little concerned when she looked below table where her bag is to retrieve study materials and she didn't notice my hosed legs. Classes went on as usual, was the last to exit class and went to my usual busstop. Boarded my bus, transited at my usual subway station. No one took note of my legs.

Waited at my regular subway door(no more trying to take the farthest door to avoid detection), an OL and Indian lady came later to joij in the wait. Boarded a pretty populated train and stood near the door where a guu had his bulky bag near my feet. He alighted a few stations later, picking his bag right at my feet but didn't bother looking at my feet.

When I reached the transit station to LRT, I decided to take the central and most crowded escalator (confidence subcourse), walked past a man; he might be looking at my hosed legs when I had to stop due to those infront stopping.

Made it to the LRT, stood at door area facing a big group of commuters waiting for the alternating train. I wasn't bothered if they're looking at my hosed legs.

Reached my station, walked back to block, no one were spotted, home James.

Hosed Mission Successful.

Hose Checkpoint

A time of review after couple of outdoor hosed experiences:

The Nude tone of my current favourite Propeds Elegant Sheers Support pantyhose appears to be paler against my skin tone, under white light than when I sampled it at a store (although it looked pretty close to my skintone).  This article is useful in choosing the right shade

http://m.wikihow.com/Choose-Color-Stockings-or-Tight

Looks like it's time to select a darker shade which will be closer to my skintone.  No doubt no one noticed my hosed legs, or that I know of, a darker shade will be much better since it'll be more natural yet enhancing.

I will be doing some pantyhose brands review soon so do keep reading.

Outdoor Hose Report - Grocer 24 Hosers

One of the moments where an early grocer visit was needed since bread ran out at home; woke up earlier than usual so that I had time to choose the pantyhose I wanted to go with for this morning trip.  Fortunately there's a 24 hour store nearby for such times, so I might as well take this chance to wear it out.

Decided and slipped into a pair of Propeds Elegant Sheer Support, Nude color with berms, no show socks with regular walking shoes and headed down.  Walked past a domestic maid who didn't notice my hosed legs, then past a couple of men who were at the dropoff area near my place; didn't notice if they saw my hosed legs.  Passed a resident (elderly man) at lift landing of an adjacent block who should be heading off for early shift work; he didn't notice me either.

After passing a few car headlight beams and a few more people, I reached my grocer.  The lady was manning the place alone and busy packing some stuff near the cashier she is also manning; got what I needed and made my way back.

At my lift landing, saw an elderly man in the lift that I needed; was wondering if he will notice my hosed legs; but when the liftdoor opened, he exited, I entered; nothing.

Reached home.

Hosed Mission successful.

Outdoor Hose Report - Restocking & Hosing Up


Went to Metro at City Square Mall, as there was a closing down sale, to stock up on some casual attire (and pantyhose) since it was on the way.  Got the following hose:

ProPeds Elegant All Sheer Support Pantyhose Nude x 2 pairs
ProPeds Support Pantyhose Nude x 2 pair packs

Decided to change into the casual attire I got and the Propeds pantyhose I got as the current pair of black pantyhose I'm wearing under work pants has torn at the panty area and getting uncomfortable.
It was that heart beating moment I experienced when I had my first experience last week to classes but I told myself: "why bother about what others may think", and stepped out of the cubicle in pantyhose and berms. 

 
Took the walk through the mall, into the subway station and waited at the platform.  I took an empty door as usual and this time, less conscious about who will be looking at my hosed legs and waited for my train.  Being a rush hour after work, I stepped into the cabin with ample space (at the same time concerned if some careless folk will cause a run at my hosed legs) and just kept myself busy on the phone (afterall it's the only thing to do in public transport when alone).
Train arrived at my stop and took my time to walk up, without bothering who's going to look at my hosed legs; from the corner of my eyes, I noticed no one actually bothers to look and are just making their way to wherever their destination is, or waiters with companion will just chat with their company. 

 
Took the stairs up from the side to LRT platform since my platform is there.  When I arrived at the crowded platform, I could see OLs who are also waiting for the train, and are also not bothered looking at my hosed legs.   Boarded the LRT when it arrived, reached my destination and just walked on casually, tapping my way out at exit. 

 
When I was arriving at my lift lobby, I was a little concerned if neighbours would spot me in hose; no one else was waiting and it a while before the lift descended from the 10th floor.  Neither anyone was waiting nor anyone was exiting from the lift; took my ride up, and reached home.



Hosed Mission successful.

Red Hose Handed

Pleasurable moments do not last as I finally met days I got caught.  As I got to my boldest stage, I stole my mum’s hose and wore them under blankets to sleep, but will wake up early enough to take them off and return them to the original place to avoid discovery.  There was once I got caught by my parents for wearing it and thereafter, was subjected to counselling, being told in literally every possible manner that this is incorrect.  That was the first hit and I had to lie low for awhile.

As I used to live with more people, I was caught by my uncle one day when I “overslept” in hose one day.  That was last mental reminder for me to stay discreet since I wasn’t living in my own space yet.  Hence, the in between journeys were walking past the area below the laundry hanging side of apartment blocks and hoping I’ll find a pair of pantyhose dropped down with other laundry in drying.

I had my luck; after regulating a route from bus stop to home after school for months, I found some pantyhose which were hooked up to a pole and had dropped; I took the opportunity to empty the pole of at least 4 pairs and quickly stuffed them into my bag; since I was still under the spotlight, I decided to keep these in a secret corner of my room as some privacy space have been created as I grew up.  These were my best bet for now since I felt awkward to buy my own pantyhose at that age.

High Hose Education

As I grew up, curiosity kills the cat within me and I decided to adventure a little further.  As my mum works in a department store and it is part of the attire to be wearing pantyhose, I noticed the crunched up little elastic material that give wonder to appearance of the legs in her wardrobe.  As time passes since this was noticed, I started to plan how I can lay my hands on them.

Of course – since I was schooling and classes are only ½ a day, I had the afternoons when no one was around, for me to “raid” her wardrobe and lay my hands on those wonderful elastic materials.  When the perfect moment came, with no one at home in the hot afternoon, I took the opportunity to go to the bathroom and started slipping those little elastic materials around my legs and watch them stretch as I pull them up.

In a moment of seconds, my ordinary looking legs have been transformed into a wonderful matt tone pair of legs with a silky and sensual feel!  The sensation is definitely so much stronger at the crotch area as I got a hard on while the nylon made contact with my rod…it simply feels good.

These moments do not last as I please since I had to remove them and put them back to the original place before I get caught red-handed.

The Beginning - Visual Education

This began during my elementary school days when I started developing a for a silky sight when I saw my school teacher’s’ hosed legs.  The sight of the nylon, web-clad legs were something that I couldn’t take my eyes off for the longest time.  There was one occasion that I could see the garters of the knee highs worn by my music teacher as I was small.  Being elementary school, we all had to sit on the floor during classes.  The shadows of her near calf length skirt could not mask the tan colored garters that wrapped just below her knees; I spent more time looking at those than the music scores and worksheets in class.  At that point in time, it wad purely visual satisfaction.

Forwarding it Silkily

I decided to write this as for the minor wearer community in a small country as such.

Most of the society feels that pantyhose is something which should only be worn by the female counterparts of the society.  However, men in tights (before the evolution of pantyhose) date way back to the medieval times, where it was part of attire as a norm.

However, as time goes by, for some reasons, it was slowly phased out from the male population till it became an ancient artifact.  Since then, nothing has been mentioned about this attire.

It was only when the pantyhose was invented, the “attireship” started to see a return, interestingly, female wearer population dipped while male wearers increased.


Big Sale Hose Shopping

Dropped by Tampines to transit home after a business meeting and visited Isetan. The skin tone of the Su.Soku pantyhose I wanted was stocked out, probably due to sale and overdemand vs supply. There were 2 young salesgirls close behind me as they were manning a booth nearby the hosiery area but they didn't bother about me. Left since I couldn't find what I needed.

Wandered into Century Square and saw BHG with bright sale banners with controlled entrance and exits; looks like a major discount event. Off I headed straight to the hosiery section; less accessible now as they have stuffed some racks closer in to allow more queuing space. Took my own time rummaging through the entire rack of various pantyhose, used the sample hose to find a suitable skintone. There were female staffs, female customers moving up and down but they weren't bothered by me;probably they were all too busy.

Looked through the various pantyhose a final round after spending about 30mins there before I went to pay and continued my way home. The receipt stated this was a one day bazaar but I'm sure there'll be another chance to return and get the colors and brands I want.

Visual skimmed Sinma's hosiery rack as I passed but nothing interesting.

Another good hose shopping experience (HSE).

Revisited and Found

Early out today so l decided to do some pantyhose shopping alsoo to replace the torn pair I'm wearing. This should be the Guardian house brand support hose that had served me well for more than 20 wears. I needed a pair as wearing torn pantyhose felt like wearing torn pants.

First stop: Robinson City Hall; found the mini hosiery section on th 2nd floor near the lingerie section, but couldn't find what I want. Left in less than 5mins after a quick browse.

Went to Centrepoint Metro but couldn't find the hosiery section so I decided to move on to OG. Took a quick look at the hosiery section which can easily be located from the entrance, couldn't find what I want and decided to leave. The middleaged saleslady spotted me leaving, was helpful and asked if I was looking for stockings. I answered, yes but can't find the brand I want. She replied that this is the only brand they carry and i may like to try other departmental stores. Thanked her and moved on.

Took me awhile to locate the hosiery section when I arrived at Taka; a previous mission here wasn't successful as I walked all the floors but yet couldn't locate it, especially after they revamped the layout. So it's wedged right in the corner of the lingerie section. It's a decent treasure as I could see quality brands including Falke, and some range which couldn't be found in other stores.

Took my time to shop while the PRC salesgirls chatted among themselves, completely oblivious to my presence.

Got what I needed, paid at cashier (the auntie was very polite and didn't give me a weird look) and went to Gents to replace torn hose.   Walked off in a comfortable pair of Peach Propeds Elegant Sheer Support pantyhose.

Outdoor Hose Report - 1/2 day Public Hose Exposure

Went to a departmental store after a busy day and bought Propeds Nude tone pantyhose. Got in it at the toilet and walked out bravely; no one was looking at my hosed legs and took a bus to school after walking about 10mins to a bus stop (to gain public exposure confidence). Stood at front of the bus stop nearest to approaching end after walking past a few ladies who didn't notice my hosed legs.

I was a little nervous so I tried standing at less crowded places whenever I can.

Went straight to the library as I have some time before classes. At the traffic lights to school, still feeling a little nervous while waiting for green light but kept my composure. I noticed there were a couple who noticed my hosed legs as I crossed the junction, but I walked on.

Reached classes soon as it began, took the front row seat in a small classroom; went through the lesson normally and left quickly once it ended; as I was a little tired. Boarded a crowded bus that brings me to my regular subway station, a Caucasian lady was standing quite close to me and seemed oblivious to my hosed legs.

At the subway station, I took a less crowded area, but boarded the train at the cabin where I was surrounded by regular commuters, including OLs. The OLs were busily talking, completely oblivious of my hosed legs, but a man with his family was looking at me; he might have noticed I'm in hose but I didn't bother about it. 2 kids were playing with their mum infront of me, without noticing my hosed legs.

When I transited to another line, some teenager boys boarded the train and I could see a couple of them glacing at my hosed legs but I didn't bother. Soon I was home...and made it through this half day in exposed hosed legs!

Went for classes in berms and hose too; "fortunately" my female teacher and classmates didn't notice it...haha...think it's a good experience though.

So it's about 1/2 day in hose today. Shall try a full day to gain confidence next time!

Propeds hose are pretty comfortable as the yarn is fine and closely woven; unlike Guardian's house brand hose; the latter provides good support but the yarn is too coarse for long comfort; even with hairless legs.
