Stories of Stockings

My stocking story is very much like an autograph I was once given and it went something like this:

"She dipped across the dance room floor,
Doing the light fantastic
She dipped and tripped
Just goes to show,
you can never trust elastic"

If you have ever tried jitter-bugging with a pair of pantyhose hobbling you at the top of your legs you will show a little sympathy here!

What made the occassion even worse was that my dance partner had a reputation for being "a bit of a lady's man" and for me to lose my 'smalls' so openly was really embarrassing.

But, I survived after a lot of teasing. Probably wouldn't have been too bad if I really wasn't secretly very attracted to the bloke. Oh well....that's life, hey?

But if you really want to know what torture was, try wearing a pair of pantyhose in the tropics. When the temperature reaches 33 degreesCelcius and you have to walk 3 blocks, those panty hose hurt like blazes! You see, the sweat (lets call it for what it is) builds up and congeales on the inside of your thigh and with the constant rubbing of your legs together it causes a friction burn. And THAT hurts. So that was when I made the decision I was never wearing pantyhose and a girdle while ever I was living in Darwin.  And as I lived there for 30 odd years, by the time I left the place I was too old to worry too much about such niceties anyway.

These days, I much prefer to wear a pair of really good quality pantyhose with some really femine underwear and never have to walk in the heat anywhere.

Much more pleasant way to live. If you want some more stories about stockings check out my website at www.mumsdomain.com/womensstockings and there I can offer you some interesting tidbits about the proper care of womens stockings
