Your Best Source for Hosiery, Slippers and Socks
Featuring Popular and Hard-to-Find Sizes & Styles!

You have purchased hosiery for years I'm sure, but did you know that there are some simple ways you can extend the life of your pantyhose, tights, leggings and even socks?

Here are our 6 easy tips for you:

1.Care: Be sure to maintain well-manicured fingernails and toenails especially nail tips and cuticles. You can smooth over all nails easily with an emery board. Also apply ample amounts premium botanical hand lotion or other fine skin care creams to hands, legs and feet.

2.Laundry: Wash hosiery in cold water by hand on the inside out, as dry skin and lint particles typically remain on the inner side of most stockings and hose. For nylon hosiery, a fabric softer, such as Downey, is the best suited for washing, since it is mild and does not contain bleach. Rinse in cold water. Dry hosiery horizontally on a towel. Do not hang dry or machine dry.

3.Sizing: If you are between two hosiery sizes, it is advised to purchase the larger of the two. Hose that do not fit properly are not only uncomfortable but are also more prone to runs. Reinforced-toe hosiery fits better and should thus likely wear longer. Both sandal-toe and reinforced-toe hosiery should be loosened by pulling them away from the toe at least ½ inch. This should be performed immediately after putting them on, as well as twice in the morning and twice in the afternoon. A stocking that is too tight can do more physical skin and tissue damage than a shoe that is too tight. Tight hosiery often interferes with circulation.

4.Damage: The greatest opportunity for hosiery damage is when they are first worn, as well as when they are pulled down and then quickly raised up during use of the restroom. During these rushed instances, hosiery wearers tend to pull harder than they likely realize.

5.Thigh-Highs: We recommend that all of our customers try this dynamic hosiery. Thigh-Highs are the answer to many hosiery issues. They are economical, cool in the summer, excellent for maternity usage, and, of course, men love them on their ladies, too!

6.Support Leg Wear: Knee-highs, thigh-highs, regular stockings and panty hose are all support leg wear. All of these items can aid in leg circulation and help to ease tired legs. Support leg wear will not, however, prevent varicosities. Support leg wear hosiery comes in varying degrees of sheerness. If a doctor or medical professional recommends support hosiery, be sure to determine whether you are instructed to purchase regular support hose or "medical support" hose, which can be found in pharmacies and medical supply stores.
