Based on Faith Academy Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Good evening all. I am in need of the Hives knowledge. I need pantyhose for myself and can not seem to find anything that even works remotely, The previous places I bought them have either stopped selling them or I can no longer find them in my size. Being a 5'8 plus sized woman makes finding pantyhose hard. Plus most of the plus sized women I talk to do not wear pantyhose. They wear knee highs. Please Help!! TIA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theelfqueen Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Torrid? I have some of their tights. https://www.torrid.com/product/sheer-beige-tights/10957447.html#q=stockings&start=3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bambam Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 (edited) I wear pantyhose to church on Sundays in the spring/fall and some of the cooler part of the summer. Two options: I ordered a pair of sheer pantyhose and tights from Snag Tights. I've worn and washed (hand) maybe 5-6 times. Expensive, but nice quality. They do very well on not bagging down. I'd get these if I needed to wear pantyhose to some longish event. https://snagtights.us/collections/all-products I've also ordered these. These are cheaper but not as good quality as Snag Tights. I've worn them and washed (hand) them maybe 2-3 times (one pair). I'll probably get more of these when I need more as I'm only wearing them for a couple of hours at a time- mostly because they are so much cheaper. ETA: These come up really high too. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07VCQD4RQ/ I used to get Hanes Queen Size sheer pantyhose, but I couldn't find them last time I needed some, so I ordered these two.

klmama Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Our Target carries them. So does our Walmart. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MercyA Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Amazon has No Nonsense plus size hose. I have to wear hose in the winter. If it's good enough for the Duchess of Cambridge, it's good enough for me. 😉 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Based on Faith Academy Posted February 23, 2021 Author Share Posted February 23, 2021 Thank you for the suggestions. I'd prefer to stay away from tights. I'm really just want pantyhose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pawz4me Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Maybe you could order from Hanes? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennyD Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 I haven't worn them in a year because pandemic, but in Normal Times I regularly wear pantyhose. I usually buy Hanes Silk Reflections, purchased on amazon. I just looked and they have plus sizes in stock for a range of styles and colors. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alicia64 Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 It seems like Amazon has a lot of pantyhose. I know what you mean by finding the right fit. I always order much larger than I need b/c I really dislike that super tight feeling. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carol in Cal. Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Leggs has three sizes of plus sized 'normal' pantyhose. I buy them at the local Hanes/Bali outlet store and I believe they are also available online. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They only go to XL so I can't even order a bigger size. Thanks anyways! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see them at the outlets, although I have not seen them elsewhere. I think they have sizes up to 4X or 5X. It was such a relief to find them once Queen was too small for me. I do avoid the control top versions. No matter what their size, they are just tortuous. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Based on Faith Academy Posted April 7, 2021 Author Share Posted April 7, 2021 Update into my pantyhose saga, Target pantyhose are super thin, run very easy, and snag like there is no tomorrow. I spent $9 on each pair and they were all run or had a hole in them within 1 or 2 times of wearing them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danae Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 I like Assets high waisted pantyhose. I buy them at Target. They’re technically shapewear, but I buy a large enough size that they don’t squeeze too much. They are much more indestructible than regular pantyhose. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ausmumof3 Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 This is not a personal recommendation at all because I haven’t tried them but I keep getting ads for these in my Facebook feed and I wonder if they might suit you? I’m tempted to try some myself when we have the money https://snagtights.com/collections/sheer-pantyhose-and-skin-tone-tights Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wear Hanes Sheer Reflections, but I don’t know if they meet OP’s requirements. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
