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.

Plus Size Thigh Highs and Stockings

This is probably my favorite lingerie item to discuss. There is nothing sexier than a women in thigh highs or stockings. So for the life of me I do not understand why more hosiery companies do not make plus size stockings and thigh highs. Sure there are "queen size" stockings and thigh highs, but lets face it they don't really fit. Below is what some stores feel are a proper fit.





These are not the proper way to wear them. They are just above the knee on the lower portion of the thighs. They should be called "knee highs."
Its my opinoin that stockings and thigh highs should reach to the upper portion of the thighs as shown below.









There was a great company that made really nice stockings and thigh highs called Levee. You can still find them out there on the internet.
Unless you are getting 100% nylon, which will not stretch, the stocking and thigh highs are whats called "volumetric" meaning that they will stretch. The problem is the shape of the leg. If you have large calves and thicker thighs the hosiery will stretch but you may lose the length needed to reach your upper thighs.
Because all plus size woman are not shaped the same or even the same height. Someone that is 5'11" that wears a size 16-18 is different from someone that is 5'4" and wears a 16-18.
So with Levee out of business (poor management) who will realize that there is a real need for true sizing of stockings and thigh highs?

Please leave your thoughts or if you have found a company that you have found that has extended sizes of stockings and thigh highs.
