Buy Used Pantyhose

A Guide to Buying Used Pantyhose

There are quite a few types of hosiery that exist but what is the difference between them? The main two are tights and pantyhose, tights being a thicker material and pantyhose being thinner and more sheer/opaque. Their thickness is measured in something called denier and whilst pantyhose can range from 8-30 denier, tights offer a much thicker coverage on the leg at 40 and above, going all the way up to 300. They both are footed and are situated around the waist or hips.

Men originally wore them, and Queen Elizabeth I was actually the first woman ever documented to have worn stockings in 1560. However, originally chosen for modesty, warmth, or protection, they have become something that we no longer want to hide and are picked for more than just practical reasons.

Tights can come in a range of assorted styles and patterns, and now can also refer to stretchy leggings worn at the gym or for a dance class.

This guide will tell you a bit more about the variety of hosiery that is available and why you should use All Things Worn to purchase them.

Why is there such an obsession with used items?

In today's society there is an overwhelming urge to help the environment and reusing or recycling old and unwanted items of clothing can help. However, the reason for buying items on All Things Worn often stems from a more personal place. Buyers are usually seeking to connect with someone, be able to view them in a sexual way, smell their body odour and feel the clothing that they have been wearing.

The pandemic saw sales of pre-owned items soar due to the fact that people were lacking the ability to get close to another person and looking for other new ways to stay connected.

Why are dirty tights so good?

Would you believe that there is now a recognised fetish regarding pantyhose and tights. There are a number of reasons why some individuals may find them a turn on. There are those that become aroused due to the silky texture, others may appreciate the look of them on a person's legs and some like the idea of the stockings being torn from the legs. Their appearance on the leg can be smooth, airbrushed and firm, leading various people to agree they give a sexier appearance to the leg.

What types of pantyhose can I buy?

Hosiery can be split into four main categories: denier, finish, gusset, and stockings/suspenders.

Denier - the denier refers to the thickness of the hosiery. Items can range in denier from 10-100 and can even go as high as 300, where they become as thick as leggings.

Finish - there are a variety of finishes including, shiny, matt, satin, and wool.

Gusset - a gusset is attached to the crotch area to give the wearer added durability and comfort. They can be plain, cotton, silk or have an open gusset, also known as crotchless.

Stockings and suspenders - these are not full and are either held up by a suspended belt or stay up on their own and reach over the knee/thigh high height.
