Young Blonde Girl In Leopard Dress Reveals Her Pantyhose Outside On The Street

• Unlike cotton, nylon is not an absorbent material. As a result, perspiration is more likely to remain in contact with the feet, legs and genital area, thereby encouraging bacterial growth and associated odor. Some hosiery products contain silver to help to prevent odor and sweating of the feet, thus making the wearing of hosiery a more pleasant experience. Wearing natural fiber silk stockings and tights is another means of reducing perspiration.
• For people who are either very large or very thin, pantyhose can be extremely uncomfortable and unflattering. The feel of pantyhose on large-sized women has been compared to the feeling of wearing a sausage casing, and pantyhose have been criticized for having a tendency to sag at the ankles, be too short to reach the waist, or roll down from the waist after a few hours of wear.
• Some people refuse to wear pantyhose for ethical or economic reasons. Though they can cost anywhere from $5 to $250 per pair, pantyhose are prone to tearing or laddering, especially after multiple wears. They usually cannot be recycled, and they are not biodegradable. Disposing of the item contributes to overuse of landfill. Burning pantyhose sometimes releases toxins into the atmosphere.
• Pantyhose have been criticized for being flimsy. The nylon fabric of pantyhose is extremely prone to "runs".
