Comparing Nylonica Thigh Highs

Today we are going to compare the Nylonica Linea Classica Sheer 15 Thigh Highs. These are the largest size that they have available in the 4X. According to the sizing chart they only list height. These say they should fit someone that is 6'1" to 6'4". Since I am 6'2" I really do not see how these will fit someone 6'4". As you can see the fit comes up a little short for how I usually wear them. These are very comfortable to wear. The grip around the thigh is good. I have worn them out before and only had to adjust them a couple times. I do feel that these would fit better on someone that has a shorter inseam than my 37".

Below are the Glamory Comfort 20 in my preferred size of 2X. You can see how all the Glamory Comfort 20 Thigh Highs fit on me in all Six sizes here.

Comparing Glamory Hosiery to Lane Bryant Hosiery

Today we are going to start our compare Glamory Comfort 20 Thigh Highs to Lane Bryant's Thigh High's with Backseam. Lane Bryant's sizing chart is 1X (5'-5'7", 155-210 lbs.), 2X (5'4"-5'10", 210-265 lbs.), 3X (5'7"-6', 250-300 lbs.).  Glamory Hosiery sizing chart goes up to 5X (up to 6'6" and 330 lbs.)

Here are the Lane Bryant thigh highs on. Just so you are aware I am taller than their 3X sizing charts maximum height. I am 6'2" with a inseam measurement of 37". I am between the weight of the 2X.
Because I want to show how their largest size fits compared to Glamory's larges size, I will show Glamory's 5X as well as my normal size of the 2X.
  

 

As you can see they come up a little short. I did expect this though because after all I am taller than the maximum height. These are pulled as high as they will go. The grip is good around my thigh, but as I was walking around in them they did slide down and roll. This is a brand that I would never be able to wear though because I am too tall for them.

 Above is the size I normally wear which is the 2X.

 Above is the 5X. 

I have already talked about in a previous post how each of the Glamory Comfort 20 fit on my measurements. As you ca see Glamory's largest size goes far beyond what Lane Bryant's largest size.

Glamory Hosiery Sizing

Here at Sassy Curves we wanted to show you how the Glamory Comfort 20 Thigh High fits. In later posts we will also compare these thigh highs to other brands. Below is the sizing guild as well.

Leg measurements are as follows:
Inseam: 37"
Upper Thigh Circumference: 26"
Middle Thigh Circumference: 24"
Lower Thigh Circumference: 21"
Calf Circumference: 18.5"

From the images below you can see that my thighs are long and is only a difference from from lower thigh to upper thing of 5 inches.
I also has very long legs at 37" inseam so we also want to show that they will be long enough even when you want to wear your short skirts or dresses.

  As you can see with the Glamory Comfort 20 size large 40-42, they do not fit. They are not suppose though either. 

The Glamory Comfort 20 size 1X 44-46 actually surprised me with the fit. These were stretched up as high as they would go. I feel though that with walking around in them for 8 hours and maybe even just a couple hours they would start to pull down on my leg and I would have to keep pulling them up. As I walk around though I never felt that they would roll down my leg. Mostly they would just start to pull down from the stretching of my legs from walking or sitting down and getting up.

 The Glamory Comfort 20 size 2X 48-50. I am right on the cusp according to the sizing chart with these. These are also pulled up as high as they would go so with all day movement they would slide down a little. These have have worn before all day with a dress that reached just above the knees and never had a worry of exposing the lace tops. 

The Glamory Comfort 20 size 3X 52-54. These are my preferred size to wear. Because I was right on the edge of the sizing guide of the 2X 48-50. These are also pulled up high just to show how high they will go. They actually would go higher if my legs were longer. I would never wear these this high though because I feel they may start to roll on me because it is up over my derriere. This is also the size I am wearing on my other leg so you can see these are perfect even when you want to wear a short skirt or dress.

The Glamory Comfort 20 size 4X 56-58. You may think that this is the same picture from the 3X 52-54, but its not. I actually purposely wore these with the lace seam showing so that I would not get confused myself. As you can see these look like they fit the same and for the most part they do. There is big difference though with these. The lace band is a little bit looser to allow for more ample thighs that mine. They also easily went up higher on to my derriere. Although they were a little bit looser on my thigh, I still feel that they would last all day staying put and not slide down. 

The Glamory Comfort 20 size 5X 60-62. These have the same issues that the 4X 56-58 have. As you can see the fit went up even higher on my derriere. Also even looser on my thigh and also not as compressed around my leg. For my leg measurements these may slide down. This size is made for legs that have a thigh measurement difference greater than 6 " between the lower thigh and the upper thigh circumference. 

  We are always hearing how women don't like to wear thigh highs because they just roll down. Well maybe you are just wearing the wrong size. As I mentioned before we will put other brands to the test. we will be comparing them side by side. So far we haven't found a better pair that fit like Glamory Hosiery does.
