Owlchick, Your 2 pairs of one legged pantyhose trick was something my grandmother did!! I only tried that once....it is a bad idea when both pairs are control top.
Now I wear thigh highs, for reasons of economics rather than 'sexy'. One leg gets a run, just pop another on. Not as many issues with length either.

How do you get thigh highs to stay up? I used to wear them, but every time they'd start sliding down my leg and I'd have to stop wherever I was to pull them back up.

If I MUST I usually end up wearing Microfibre tights (light beige and black are my staples) they are pretty lightweight ~ a thing I do when wearing hose or tights is wear another pair of panties on the outside (yup, one pair under & one pair over), it just seems to help with comfort and creep.
I have used the 2 pairs of hose trick for covering up a run....
I cannot count how many times I have put my fingers through fishnet stockings....

"Favourite pantyhouse" is, if I have the correct term, an oxymoron. Or a contradiction in terms. Sainsbury's home brand tights if I really, REALLY must, otherwise trousers.

As a less-than-thin woman, for years I struggled gamely into pantyhose first thing in the morning, then sometime mid-day if traveling. Then I found Talbott's store brand! I have no idea what they put into them.. but the control top controls AND I get several uses out of each pair.

And right now they'd be way more comfortable than any other kind of hosiery!

I love Hanes pantyhose, and for my upcoming trip to Europe I will def need to buy a new pair. I was browsing the web today and saw that Lord & Taylor has the ones I am looking for.(Hanes, Rib Texture) While I am there, I think I'll look around for some cute winter jackets, I love the ones I saw online.

Wolford, all around best pantyhose I have ever bought. I cannot remember ever getting a run in them. Since they are expensive, I always check the marked down section of the hosiery department when in Europe. I have gotten some really good deals this way. I also found some end of season at Saks for a good price.
