I tried some of those once and they balled up in the bottom of my shoes. Maybe I just bought bad ones...I haven't tried again since.
Something like these might be a good compromise.

The eternal question ... I switch off shoes daily (can alternate between two pairs), bring that liquid skin stuff to apply to hot spot and potential hot spots (works surprisingly well), and also pack mole skin. I also have one heck of a collection of backless shoes as that's where I'm most likely to blister.

Just wondered if anyone has used the following spanx style:

What makes me interested in these is the description line:
"Cotton double gusset for ease when nature calls"
Called Spanx and the agent said, yes, these have a space in the crotch that you can pull apart so you don't have to pull down the pantyhose. This sounds ideal for a long flight, especially paired with one of these:

I hate using the lav on a long flight because first i have to pull up the legs of my pants (otherwise they touch the myriad drips of who-knows-what is on the floor), then I have to pull down my pants. This seems a little easier, with some practice in your home shower first.

I find panty liners work great on long flights. Simply replace as needed.

I had high hopes for Spanx as I've "filled out a bit" after months on the road... but I was very disappointed. Yes the control part is great but I got a hole at the waistband on the first wearing and run at the crotch on the second. I'm VERY careful with my hose - I'm generally the one who can make the same pair last for months. I bought mine at Nordie's Rack so they were only about $15... but still thats just nuts! My DKNY from Ross do almost as well control wise and last several wearings for about $5.

This is amazing, since I think you can no longer buy pantyhose in California. It's been several years since I've seen any in Ross or TJ Maxx or on anyone.
I'm in favor, but PH seem to be out. Recently got open-toed heels to wear with pants for several events and was advised going bare was de rigueur. I thought a black or nude knee high would have been more comfy and attractive, but was voted down. Think a basic opaque black trouser sock would have looked just as good and been much more comfy.

Hi! I am new to this forum, but wanted to mention my experience with British "Tights" from Marks & Spencer's.
They seem to last forever! and you can get them in different denier (how sheer they are). They can snag, but not what I would call easily and mine have never done embarassing sprint up or down the leg! Personally, I can live with a little snag after a long day.
I have not tried Spanx was wanting to find out if they last - so sad to hear the $28 price doesn't mean they last longer than any other typical panty hose.

Since the wedding was in January, when my legs are white as paper and would have been freezing, there was no option to go bare-legged. I ended up having to go to the fancy store and get a pair of Spanx, at vast expense. These do fit the best, but I paid $26 for one pair and they got a run on the very first wearing anyway.

Since spending a month in the UK in 2009 my favorite pantyhose to travel with or any other time are black tights. They wear them year round in the UK and I have found I prefer them over pantyhose. They breathe, they aren't itchy, they rarely run and are overall a lot more comfortable than pantyhose. Hue has some nice opaque tights easily found at Dillards and Macys but I really like the Apt. 9 tights that Kohl's sell as well. They are a little thinner than Hue but still definitely tights. I wear a lot of boots and tights always look great with boots, at least for me they do.

I buy thin flesh coloured tights in M&S in England to wear with summer dresses, I buy thick, black opaque tights in M&S in England to wear in winter. Both are tights, regardless of thickness or colour.
I thought pantyhose were the same?
