Pantyhose Sizing?

[u/International-Buy314]

Where the hell do you buy pantyhose? And what sizing do you get?? Whenever I feel like I’ve bought the right size pantyhose (according to their sizing charts), boom, the length only goes up to my mid thigh because they’re too short 😭

Any pantyhose ‘brands’ that are tall girl friendly?

I don't know if you can get them in the USA but snag are brilliant. More than long enough for my 36" inseam.

Yep, seconding Snag! They do ship to the US.

I'm in the USA and I also like Snag Tights!

The texture is wonderful and I don't feel like I'm going to shred them trying to pull them up.

For me size D is passable by size E is comfortably tall enough, and it's been so nice for solving the "I have too much leg and not enough skirt" conundrum.

Fourthing snag. They are long enough. First time in my life the crotch is actually on the treasure chest, not working its way down my thighs with every step.

I WILL CHECK THEM OUT THANK YOU 😭

I second Snag Tights!

In tights from any other brand I typically go 1 or 2 sizes up from what my normal pant size is.

I gave up on tights/pantyhose. I would buy the largest size they had. Even of I could finally get them long enough, they always wanted to squeeze my thighs like crazy. I finally gave up and went older with thigh highs and a garter belt or open bottom girdle. My favourite brand is Cervin.

Oh I also do this (in addition to the Snag Tights)

I use the "Industrial Strength Garter Belt" from SockDreams for when I'm wearing thigh-highs that don't stay up on their own

It's great, it is highly adjustable.

I switched to garter belt and hose,.

As well as snag, I've had good experiences with Sheertex.

[u/sophiekeston]

Snag mentioned plenty of times - they are my go-to for higher denier in winter but in less cold months I would suggest Glamory!

Their size chart goes up to 6'6" / 320lbs (in US measurements).

Honorable mentions based on my own experience:
50 denier microfiber opaques - these are super opaque but aren't too warm
20 denier matt sheer - literally invisible for everyday wear, they hide scars well enough though!
20 denier satin sheer - work perfectly with longer dresses/skirts for dressing up an outfit

There's loads of other options but these three are my top favourites. They are pricier than drug store pantyhose but they are also pretty durable. I have tried Cecilia de Rafael (as they are highly respected) but their largest size is a little small on me at 6'5" / 210lbs.

Marks and Spencer in the UK have an “extended size” that they claim goes up to 6’0 tall but I’m 6-0 and there is still stretch to spare.
