I’m on the market for pantyhose but everything I’ve found is high rise and covers your belly completely, usually higher than your navel.
I cannot phantom how that can be comfortable to wear, doesn’t it hurt? But if high rise pantyhose are the standard it means people actually want them.
When I was deciding what sport leggings to buy I tried high rise leggings on once and decided against: it’s simply too much fabric, it’s not comfortable and I only need a mid rise legging to cover up to my waist, not all the way over my navel. Same should apply to pantyhose.
After visiting several stores I found a French brand (DIM) that sells one model of low rise pantyhose. However, I’ve not found a single online review of this product and I want to see what others think before I buy.
If you wear (high rise) pantyhose, is it comfortable? Does it hurt?
Do you know what brands offer low rise pantyhose?
Can you think of any reason why buying low rise pantyhose would be a bad idea?
High rise pantyhose tend to be very comfortable as long as it isn’t too hot. They’re nice because they don’t slide down. Most have some extra elastic that helps keep your belly looking smoother and flatter, as well as keeping the lines from showing.
My issue with low rise is that if it’s not up to your waist there’s a higher risk of them sliding down. It’s super uncomfortable when you’re walking and the crotch of your pantyhose is now halfway down your thigh. There’s no good way to fix it either without going to the bathroom to adjust. Slipping does depend quite a bit on your build, the pantyhose size and type, and the brand, so trial and error will find you the best ones.
Best of luck finding good hose!
