Nylon Stockings as a Christmas Stocking Filler Idea

Have you finished your Christmas shopping yet or are you still stuck for a brilliant idea for a stocking filler for your wife/girlfriend/significant other? It's so hard to know what to call someone that we all once called wife? Never, mind, that's something else for another blog!

Christmas shopping when you have no idea what to buy her can be more than deadly painful to sore,tired feet if you don't find 'just the right present' for her it could be extremely costly! Not only are you unlikely to get the choice bits of the Turkey at Christmas dinner, you could end up with a very big credit card bill at the end of the month after the Christmas sales!

OK, here's a gift idea for all you gift-challenged men. What do you and her both enjoy enormously together? Sex, of course! So why not spice up both your love lives with a sexy pair of nylon stockings? Thigh highs, black net stockings or just plain silky smooth pantyhose that you get to take off?  Good idea? Of course, it is and it will definitely get you all the choice bits for dinner.

Women's Underwear makes Great Christmas Stocking Fillers

Sometimes it's not so easy finding inexpensive but exciting stocking fillers for the love of your life. Women's underwear always comes in useful and you as the loving partner can make it as exciting or as mundane as you choose. If the budget is a bit tight this year due to the current economic climate and you have to watch the budget, then a practical gift of women's underwear makes a useful yet sexy present.

Today there is a large variety of women's underwear in most Target or Big W stores in Australia or if you live in the US or Canada, Walmart is a magic place to browse. Just be sure that you have her right size imprinted on your mind and that you allow plenty of time to choose. Even in these less expensive stores, stockings, bras and panties still cost money and you don't want to waste any by buying the wrong size.

The best way to find out what size your Lady wears is simply to casually ask her. If that doesn't get you the answer, then check the washing on the line or in the dryer. If that fails, then you may need to do a panty raid and check in her lingerie drawer to get the right size. While checking for size, take note also of the styles she seems to have the most of because these are her preferences.

Does she prefer a thong or a high leg? Check to see if she mostly wears bikini style or does she prefer the full brief? Everyday wear many women prefer to wear a full brief or a high cut pant leg because they seem to be the more comfortable cut and the fabric is stretchable for sitting down, getting up or running around.

Whichever style you choose, just be sure to only get a pair of panties that has a cotton gusset. This cotton gusset is essential for feminine hygiene. Also, make sure that the package hasn't been opened and it is still all intact just to be on the safe-side.

If you are buying her some everyday panties as Christmas stocking fillers then a good buy can be found in the multi-packs. These multi-packs of women's briefs come in an assortment of colours and once you know whether you need the full brief, high cuts or bikinis, they seem to be the better buy. And the Bikinis aren't all that un-sexy but they are eminently practical.

If you decide that you can splurge a bit, why not get both some everyday underwear and a pair of really special knickers with matching bra for just those special occasions when the panties don't usually stay on very long anyway? This then becomes a multi-functional gift that lasts for many special times through the year.

Women's Underwear as a Christmas stocking filler can be practical and yet a nice gift to receive.

Women's Stockings and Bleach Don't Mix

Women's stockings and bleach really don't mix. I have a friend who carelessly put her stockings into a laundry stocking bag to put them through a gentle cycle in her washing machine along with some tea towels. She always puts a capful of bleach through with her tea-towels but she doesn't usually put her stockings through with them at the same time. She was trying to do too much in too big a hurry and talk to me at the same time.

The cycle was on warm so that was something but the stockings were an absolute write off! And what really hurt was they were her most comfortable pair and she wanted to wear them the next day for a job interview.

The laundry stocking bag was the right way to go IF you have to wash them in a washing machine (not the best idea, by the way) but it's also not healthy to wash underwear with items that come in contact with eating utensils or food.

Anyway, stockings when they get bleached (well, this pair anyway) looked absolutely anaemic and the bleach weakened the thread so that they lost their strength so even if they hadn't changed colour, she may have worn them only to lose them at a very inopportune time.

I mean how embarrassing would that have been? Standing up at the end of the job interview, preparing to shake hands 'goodbye' only to find yourself hobbled like a horse with your stockings around your ankles!

Let's just say she would probably have made an impression and been one candidate the interview panel would never forget!

Whoops! Never trust Elastic

Have you ever been in a precarious situation and had a vital piece of equipment fail? I have always worked with men in a predominately male environment so to have the elastic give way in my stupide thigh high stockings was more than a little embarrassing. We were miles away from the nearest shopping centre (mall) so the only thing I could do was remove them and hope no one noticed. I think I got away with it ~ either that or they were all too nice a gentlemen to mention it.

So, the moral of this story is always buy good quality stockings.
