Why don't women like wearing pantyhose?

I guess it's just a pain in the butt putting it on, taking it off. It's one more item of laundry to do. If you don't need it why use it? Not to mention I live in Australia where in summer you'd want to wear as little as possible, believe me.it gets that hot.

And also I think if I'm sitting next to a guy I like and our bare legs are touching.I'd like to feel that and not feel it only through the pantyhose. And my guess is he'd rather feel my bare leg against his rather than pantyhose?

The are uncomfortable.

They are a pain in the ass.

That's all there really is to it.

I've never worn stockings because I thought to myself "Ooooh! Stockings I love those!". Girls typically wear them to look either sexy or professional. Which one they look depends on how the stocking are worn.

(Also, stockings were pretty much invented for men to enjoy, not for women to like as far as I can tell.)

They irritate my legs. But I still wear them when I get dressed up.

I wear them, but only when I am dressed up for church or something and wearing a dress.

Argh I HATE the word pantyhose!

They're tights ok!?

But anyway. I always wear tights, I have horrible legs which have stretch marks and varicose veins (even at my age - I'm only 16 in 2 months! )

But I think that if you don't have to wear them, then why bother?

First of all they are very itchy
second they're uncomfortable
third they look very slutty.
And maybe it depends and the ladies who wear them.

They are horribly itchy. They snag and run before you have them on sometimes and I think on average last about 1 wear, which is pricey since they cost like $10 a piece. Sure they look nice, but a lot of younger women these days would rather go bare-legged (also sexy and a lot less constrictive/itchy) on casual occasions. Also, there's probably a whole lot of women who wear PANTS to work!
I think the garterbelt and thigh hose are kinda sexy and fun, but I can't think of anything good about pantyhose. So unless it is an occasion for which they are really required, I'd rather pass.

1) They're uncomfortable. Have YOU ever tried them?
2) When they rip or snag (which they do CONSTANTLY) it triggers PMS. I'm serious.
3) My legs are sexy enough without them, thanks.
4) The best reason: there is a revolution of women who could care less what men think about their legs, and are above doing something uncomfortable to themselves just because "men like it. " *GASP*

Hope that helps. =)

They are horrible! I don't mind thigh hose but pantyhose are bad.

Because if you don't shave often and well, they grab your little leg hairs and pull them (I rarely shave, since I'm very blonde and you can't really see or feel the hair - it's very nice and handy, except when hose are involved). It's very painful. Also, they'll get a run if you just look at them the wrong way, and you never have clear nail polish on you when they do, or you do have it and you walk around smelling like fresh nail polish for the rest of the day and they're glued to your leg.

And if you want to stay warm, tights are better anyway. And, with the advent of the tanning salon, fewer women have blindingly white legs. And pants are generally more comfortable, anyway. :P

They're uncomfortable, inconvenient, and plain out not attractive. I'll wear fishnets, but that's a different story.

Itchy? I've worn pantyhose about everyday for years and the only time they itched was when I had stubble,hair or cheap grocery store/ walmart pantyhose. Now I will agree some can be binding and uncomfy. Mostly the control top squeeze the life out of you try some light control top or none. It's time to splurge a little on your pantyhose I know they are expensive but well worth it most likely you won't hate them at the end of the day. Take a look at shapings.com they have a wonderful selection of fine hosiery some outrageous some comparable to hanes or victorias but superseeds the quality ,feel and fit. In my opinion they are the most feminine article of clothing a woman can slip into. You can't justify an argument on how uncomfy they are when you will say tights and fishnets are ok. Now those are uncomfy. Sheer pantyhose are just way out of style for everyday wear. Just like when they were "in" you rarely saw women without! They complete most outfits.

Because it can promote infections

I have to agree... it is really too bad that women don't like wearing them that much. I have to admit, when I see a women wearing pantyhose or stockings, it's an instant turn-on. Almost to the point where it's difficult to stop looking. Well-tanned or toned legs look good in general, but stockings just bring it to a whole new level.

I hear from women generally they like thigh-high stockings better instead, just because they're softer, less restrictive when they go to the bathroom, and if they get a run in one of them, they don't have to throw both of them out. From a health standpoint, pantyhose don't really allow a woman to breathe downstairs, so it can also be a nuisance from being more prone to yeast infections, stuff like that. Not to mention the other things like being itchy and wanting to scratch their legs to death too, especially a couple days after shaving.

How do I know all this? My fiance told me, and I actually listened because she has awesome legs, but she has a lot of the hangups with pantyhose... she likes wearing thigh-high stockings instead when she wears skirts and heels out somewhere. It's cool by me, because as she put it, it helps to have a little "easier access" at the end of the night, if you know what I mean.

It's all about what's "instyle". I mean a lot of womens clothes and shoes are uncomfortable, but style dictates what a lot of women would wear. Jeans, t-shirts and flip flops are popular and more comfy. I hear women say they are itchy well just buy a nice pair and you won't have that problem. No grocery store or wal-mart pantyhose. Anyways thanks for listening.

I have to regularly interview women for office jobs. These days, the interviewees rarely wear pantyhose. This is a shame, because bare legs lack the elegance of legs in pantyhose. All the imperfections show, the color is variable and they lack smoothness and shape. Somehow, women seem to have got the impression that going barelegged is sexier. IT'S NOT!! Call me a chauvinist if you want, but the women who take the trouble to wear pantyhose go to the top of the jobs list. Sorry ladies, if that's not what you wanted to hear...
