Project Hosiery: Hanes Solutions Thigh Highs

So far I've featured both sheer nylons and tights for my posts from Project Hosiery. This next post introduces a new style of hosiery: thigh highs.

Thigh highs use an elastic band at the top of each leg to stay up. This specific product, Hanes Solutions, featured a classic top, but they also come with more a decorative, often lace-top.

This was Stephanie's first time wearing thigh highs, and she described the comfort to be "a little weird." Overall she found the appearance pleasing, as well as the durability.

Support wasn't rated since there was no way to compare the product to a full pair of nylons, but the model did say she was confident they wouldn't slide down over time. Overall, the likelihood to purchase/wear was mid-range since she wasn't used to them, but she did admit that they could come in handy as they were easy to put on and remove.

While Hanes Solutions appear to have been discontinued, Hanes does offer other lines of thigh high hosiery, and prices range from $8-10 a pair.
