Outdoor Hose Report - Midnight Townwalk

Since I discovered the comfort of the Sarah Borghi Trendy 40s, I decided to go on a futher journey today - into the busy shopping district.

Slipped into a pair of Propeds Elegant All Sheers, Midnight shade, along with Cotton On women's Farrah shorts, Black, and Power Play-On shoes.  Took the metro, and reached this place by early afternoon.  As I took the monorail and subway, the folks were also usually occupied with their own stuff; walked through the crowded areas, crossed the busy, bright sun-lit street to the store which carries these, and it was a pretty small range.  There were staff working there but none of them approached to offer assistance, which is alright, as I knew what I wanted.

The shade of this hose is less tricky as compared to greys, though it can look a little light through my phone's camera.

Midnight sheered legs ready to set off.

I took an alterative route home after the extensive walk, by transiting to a direct bus at another metro station.  As I was queuing up for the bus at the terminal, a woman in black hose queued right after me and sat in the waiting bay just beside me.  Caught her glancing at my hosed legs and off her eyes went to check out the bus arrival.  I was not nervous, but glad that it was noticed in some ways.


After a short ride, I've reached my hometown.  Walked through the estate, home James.

Outdoor Hose Report - Shining it More

Meeting my partner this evening for dinner; as she's still not comfortable with me hosing out in offskin shades, I made a quick change after deciding on what I wanted to do for the evening.

Checked through and decided to stay on the "sexier" look by keeping more hosed legs exposed, since I've just had the weekly maintenance done.  Hence I opted for the Lohas All Through Type, Sheer To Waist pantyhose, a Taiwanese made hose, coupled with the blue-striped Farrah shorts from Cotton On women's range, which, is perfect for this warm weather, along with a Emblem walking shoes.

Lohas All Through Type in Color 5.  Slightly glossy yet flattering.

Walked through crowds and took the monorail to town centre, with crowds who were not bothered the least with my attire, and made it to my destination.  As this pair of shorts are relatively short and airy, the airconditioned mall made the leg area much more cooling than it is, but still better than having them all cooped up.

Out in the streets.  Legs are hair free and nicely hosed.

After dinner, took a walk to commute back via bus.  My partner commented that these shorts seemed more suitable for home wear due to it's length, while I explained I wore it a little higher than usual, hence it looked shorter than it should be.  While she's unaware these are in the women's range, that doesn't matter, since comfort was what I went for.


Took a short walk back after reaching our neighbourhood, home James.

Hosed Mission succcessful.

Outdoor Hose Report - Shortening it Black

Since the recent pickups of a few women's summer shorts from Cotton On, I've become more confident and starting to get used to hosing out in offskin shades.  So that's what I'm gonna do today.

Considering the length of these shorts being much shorter than men's range, it's time to tap on the sheer to waist hose again.  And I've just realised that in my active black hose, none of them are sheer to waist, except for the Funfit Seamless.  Since I have a few lying around, it's a good time to just get them off the pack, and wear them directly.

I recall Funfit's yarns are a little delicate, so I made sure that proper care is done on the feet and hands so as to preserve the longevity, since it's a "direct pack to wear" measure this time.

Ready to Black-Hose Go.

Today's slipon for hoseout is the Funfit Nude Sheer to Waist Support pantyhose, Black, which , though are sheer to waists, do have a very faint panty-leg joint which still works well with these black Farrah shorts.   Took it out with my escooter to a nearby park for some hobby activities.  Zipped past a construction site and none of the workers paid attention to my black hosed legs in broad daylight.  And while in the park, I saw other users but none of them took notice of it.  No matter.

Black and Green in the park.

Though it's a cloudy day, it's still hot, and I get mosquito attacks for awhile till I decided that the attacks were enough and I quickly headed back to bath those legs, and get medication on to prevent infection or any scarring.  Quite a short hoseout, but I do enjoy it pretty much for the first part.

There's still sometime before dinner; so after a washup, I slipped into these black Farrah shorts and the same black hose again, headed out to the metro in these, to a mall at nearby town; it was just a stop away, against the direction which was crowded, so the cabin was rather empty when I entered.  Took my seat and soon reached the mall where I picked up a couple of tops which were on sale, and headed back; the black hosed legs remained in full view of all when I walked.  As I passed through the gantry on the boarding station, I noticed a schoolgirl glancing at my hosed legs as she was exiting the station and that was about it.

Black Crossed in the metro.

Took the regular walk back, passing pedestrians and home James.

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.

Hosed Mission Successful.

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.

Hosed Mission Successful.

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.

Home James.

Hose Review - Propeds Elegant All Sheer Support Pantyhose

Another pair of pantyhose up for review.

This pantyhose comes  in a single pair pack.

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 - 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.
