HOSIERY TO SAVE THE LIFE


If you have ever been on a long flight then you have probably noticed that your body changes
while you are up there. The pressure in the cabin is different than what you are used
to down there on the ground and sometimes your body rebels against such a sudden change.
This can happen in a number of ways, some people get headaches or earaches and others find
their lower extremities swelling and even becoming painful. And while that may sound scary,
what is even worse is the fact that people have actually had blood clots threaten
their lives due to flying. There is something you can do if this happens to you though
and it is as simple as wearing the right kind of flight socks or
Knee Highs.

Specifically designed socks have been shown to drastically reduce the chances of you getting a
blood clot. The longer your flight is the more chances you have of developing Deep
Vein Thrombosis also known as DVT. By simply wearing
LUI&LEI Knee Highs you can
lessen your chances of getting blood clots from the flight by as much as 6 times.
That is a pretty huge difference and one well worth nothing.

The danger of blood clots is not them residing in the leg where they start during
a flight but rather the problem that is created once the entire clot becomes dislodged
or a small fragment of it does. All it takes is a small portion of the clot to come away
from the main bulk and travel to the heart, the brain or most commonly the lungs to be fatal.
This is why we should all be wearing flight socks when they travel.
It is such as easy thing to do and it could save your life.

If you fly on planes regularly you may have experiences some of the
symptoms that can be indicative of problems stemming from DVT:

  • Cramps and/or aches in the lower leg region;
  • A feeling of tension in the leg muscles;
  • Swelling and or an elevated temperature.

These are not symptoms that you can rely on however since more occurrences of DVT
are not accompanies by any at all. These clots can develop very quickly and can be missed or ignored.

There are many simple things you can do to reduce DVT risk, like
getting up often to walk around,
keeping hydrated, massaging the lower legs and feet as well as wearing
Support hosiery especially Knee Highs designed to prevent DVT
like LUI&LEI. These Knee highs look just like regular Microfiber
knee highs and can be worn by men and women,
that was a very smart decision to make this hosiery item a Unisex
product so both Men and Women can benefit from wearing them.
Very soft and comfortably fitted, anatomically designed with extra
wide smooth border to keep them
in place yet providing neccessary blood circulation.

How to Properly Care for Hosiery

1 Comment

care Hosiery can have a profoundly positive impact on a finished look when dressing up, but unfortunately it can seem difficult to properly care for your stockings and nylons, especially when you consider how quickly a pair can become snagged. Don’t you find it annoying when a fingernail snags a thread in your favorite set of stockings or tights, ripping a run or a hole that cannot be repaired? Even more annoying is when you find out that your favorite style is no longer commercially available. You can take steps, however, to take better care of your nylons so that you can elongate their lifespan and get better use out of them.

First and foremost, you are going to want to keep sharp or jagged edges away from your tights when putting them on. Make sure that your nails are smooth and free from chips, and take off any rings or other jewelry before you put your nylons on. If you want to practice good hosiery care, then you might consider buying and using hosiery gloves. You gather each of the legs at the ankle, and then smooth over the foot and the leg gently. Do not jerk or pull as you go. Your hands should work up from the front to the back of the leg, pulling each of the legs equally.

Make sure that you stretch the yarns simultaneously when you put them on, as this is going to alleviate wear and tear while ensuring that you get a smooth appearance. You should be just as gentle when you take your
hosiery off as well for good hosiery care. Keep in mind that some areas are more prone than others to accidents. You can keep your hosiery from snagging on rough spots of your skin by applying a moisturizer prior to applying your nylons. This way you will not end up creating a tear around the heel or the toes.

The best way to wash your hosiery, if you are shooting for optimal hosiery care, is to wash by hand. If you do not want to wash them by hand, then the best thing for you to do is to wash in a cool cycle in the machine using a wash bag designed specifically for hosiery. Make sure that you dry without the use of indirect heat, and you should absolutely never iron them in order to keep them in good shape.

10 Things You Want To Know About Hosiery

19 Comments

Cervia
Whether you call them tights, stockings, leggings orpantyhose, hosiery can really dress up an outfit, adding length to a silhouette and style to a little black dress. Hosiery can be found in a variety of different looks and feels depending on the type of fabric that they are made from. Here are 10 things that you want to know about hosiery. The more you understand about hosiery, the better able you will be to truly enjoy everything that this fashion accessory has to offer.

1. Light and sheer hosiery is delicate and requires more care, and some hosiery comes with reinforced heels and toes so that it will last longer. When you buy your hosiery, keep the intended use in mind. If you need nylons that are going to last, then you are going to want to buy a thicker, reinforced type. If you are looking for more of a statement, sheer might be ideal but they will not last as long.

2. Sheer tights or hosiery are composed of the finest yarn, typically made completely out of nylon. They tend to be very, very flattering to your shape and your silhouette, but you are going to find that they are much more delicate in comparison to hosiery made from other, heavier fibers. The most fragile of all nylons are ultra sheer, which allow the largest amount of your natural skin tone to show. These require that your legs be shaved or waxed meticulously for best results.

3. Control tops and support hosiery both come in a wide range of different fabrics, typically in combination with Spandex and nylon. They offer a gentle and graduated level of compression to provide a better fit, a slimmer silhouette and strength in all of the highest stress areas. These are sturdier, reinforced types of hosiery that can meet a wide variety of different purposes depending on your individual need.

4. Opaque nylons are heavier or thicker than sheers, and so they are more durable. In the past, sheer was the way to go, but in modern fashion trends it is becoming increasingly popular for opaques to be worn, especially because they can create such drastic improvements on the look. If you are looking to bring more attention to your legs, then using opaque nylons is going to help. If you want to create an even more dramatic look, use tights, which are heavier in thickness than opaque tights.

5. There are other types of stockings and hosiery that can be beneficial, including
stay-ups and
stockings. Stay-ups are a type of individual stockings that are elastic on top with a special gripping lining. They are more expensive in comparison to regular pantyhose, but often worthwhile. Stockings on the other hand are separate, lacking the same grip as stay ups, requiring that you use a girdle, corset or garter belt with stocking clips to keep them up.

6. There are special hosiery options for pregnant women. Known as
maternity pantyhose, they are designed specially to provide the woman with extra room and extra comfort in the top, along with support in the legs to boost blood circulation since mothers-to-be can have circulation issues and legs that become tired easily.

7. There also exists a type of hosiery known as run-resistant pantyhose. These garments are most commonly made from thicker yarns and from studier knits in comparison to sheerer types of pantyhose. Even run-resistant hosiery can develop runs and holes, though they are perceived to be a bit sturdier in comparison to other types of tights and stockings.

8. If you want to elongate and slenderize your figure, then the best types of hosiery to wear are darker, solid colors or hosiery with
ribbed textures when you are wearing darker clothes. If you want to elongate your silhouette, then you should be aiming to match your hosiery with the color of your skirt.

9. Keep in mind that pastel pantyhose, whites and similar light colors do not pair well with darker colored clothing unless you are specifically trying to cut your figure down, such as if you are especially tall. Light colored hosiery can look good with the right clothing, but you really have to be careful with the pairs that you are making, because the wrong pair between your clothing and your nylons can create a look opposite of what you were going for.

10. If you like the look of sheers, consider glittery or
shimmering sheers for an even sexier look. These shimmering or glittery sheer nylons can lengthen or elongate your silhouette and will make your legs look outstanding no matter what you are wearing. Choose neutral tones for the best results, especially when you are trying to show off the way that your legs look in the process.

Style, Comfort and Practicality: The Perfect Stocking for Any Occasion

13 Comments


Even
though nobody but you can decide what’s better for yourself
Stockings or
Pantyhose, we’d like to bring up several good points that some people may not
know or simply don’t pay attention to in Stockings.
Why did we decide to talk about Stockings right
now?

Well, first and foremost is we love stockings,
any kind: Sheer, Opaque, Lycra or 100% Nylons, Silk,
Classic with suspender
belts or Stay ups and Thigh
Highs Fishnets or Back-seamed. Doesn’t matter what kind of weather is outside you can always wear
Stockings.
Actually that’s one of many positive things about
Stockings.

Comfortable and Practical: It’s a huge difference
between pantyhose and Stockings when you wear them on a very hot day. Especially
if you try Stay Ups which do not require a suspender
belt, an extra piece of cloth for you to sweat in. I usually wear
15 Denier or
less Summer Thigh Highs to work during Summer. That gives me freedom of
movements and I don’t feel so tight in the waist and thigh areas and that also
leads to a better blood circulation.

Winter, and I get my Opaque stay ups or
stockings. When it’s really cold I put extra underlayer of hosiery, Like contrast
color microfiber tights
and then my thigh Highs over. Warm and cozy.

Go beyond practicality: Stockings will make your
legs look beautiful. Look at many different laces and top borders available.
Sometimes I have a hard time to make my decision.
French embroidered lace,
Flower design lace, Classic plain lace, contrast
color borders and your
legs are dressed and crowned with a gorgeous piece of art. Awesome
Fashion
Stockings or Fishnets help you show your style and express yourself. Where as
Silk
Stockings evoke you in
luxurious softness.

Don’t think Dirty think Sexy: Stockings are very
sexy. I don’t have to tell you how many men actually think that women wearing
Stockings looks much more sexy than wearing nothing at all. Well, probably all
of them think that way and honestly I agree with them 100%. Try it, choose
stockings or stay ups you like, put them on, and look in the mirror. There is
nothing wrong to feel sexy about yourself.

Healthy: There are numerous styles of
stockings that offer massage and support actions for your legs. We have
graduated compression
stockings for those
of you who suffer from swollen
feet and fatigues
in legs. Also everybody knows that all Moms-to-Be love to wear stay up
stockings because nothing strains the movement or rubs on the sensitive
skin of a growing tummy.

Look at our selection of Stockings and Thigh
Highs.
If you are in doubt feel free to ask. We are
always here to help.

How To Choose Quality Pantyhose

1 Comment


   For every woman’s wardrobe, the pantyhose is a true must-have.
   However, with a lot of options to choose from in the market today and
   considering the quite expensive cost that it poses, you need some helpful
   tips to help you choose the right and quality pantyhose. Even if with the
   presence of a shop assistant, it would still be hard to choose the right
   label or choice with all the many patterns, tints and sizes that will be
   presented to you. What’s most important is for you to be able to settle for
   the quality pantyhose that you can truly rely on to last long with you.

   Prefer Those That Are Made In Italy. Most of the brands of pantyhose
   today are not genuine and hence it takes a lot of patience and time for
   you to shop in particular boutiques and sections. Quality pantyhose can
   be truly costly and if you happen to be offered with some low priced
   pantyhose,there is a high probability that it is a fake.

  Looking for the Right Information. You must
  take a close look that its overall packaging is
  clean, fresh and sealed. There should also be some particular information somewhere in the packaging that says of its brand name, its DEN thickness of  fiber, color, size, etc.

Smell It Well. When you find that your pantyhose is boxed, you must open it and take the time to smell it a little. One of the distinct qualities of an ideal pantyhose is that is smells well since majority of the branded names put some scent on their final product. This can be really expensive on their production part which other fake pantyhose producers can not afford.

Check the Seams and Gusset. Take a very close look at it and you know it is a quality pantyhose if it has very flat seams that even when you stretch it, it nearly disappears on the surface making your legs look natural. The cheaper types come with round seams that somehow stays visible when you wear very tight clothes. Its gusset must be made out of cotton for the ones that are of less quality most often has no gusset at all.

Hosiery Color Decisions

16 Comments



Hosiery offers a number of fantastic benefits for women who wear them,
including esthetic benefits (enhancing the appearance of the legs,
making them look smooth and shapely); practical benefits (for
professional office wear or warmth in the winter); and health benefits
(improving circulation and reducing swelling and varicose veins).

“Cortina 40”- Semi-Opaque Tights in Bright Colors

For whatever reason you wish to wear hosiery (pantyhose, tights, nylons,
or leggings), you’ll want to think carefully about the color of your
hosiery. But how will you know which color to choose for your outfit?
While there really are no fashion “rules” for hosiery color (although
many fashions would tell you otherwise)—after all, you can wear
whatever you’d like—there are circumstances and cases in which it’s
considered better to choose one color over another, and there are
guidelines you should follow so you actually look good and appropriate
while wearing hosiery.

Jennifer Merino Wool Tights

Here are a few guidelines to help you in determining which color of
hosiery to wear, and when.

Petal Multicolored Flower Pattern Tights

The biggest “rule” you should follow when making all hosiery color
decisions is to choose hosiery in the same color base as the rest of
your garment. Also, keep in mind that your hosiery should complement
your outfit, serving as an accessory or extra “touch;” it shouldn’t be
the focus of your ensemble.

Vanish Multicolored Fashion Tights

You can, for example, choose bold, bright, or daring hosiery if the rest
of your outfit is bold, bright or daring, but avoid mismatching cool
hosiery colors with warm clothing colors, or warm hosiery colors with
cool clothing colors. Many women make this mistake, and wear hosiery
that’s either much too light or too dark for what they’re wearing.

Crys 80 3D Opaque Tights

Your hosiery’s color can also either match your outfit’s “main” color
or
the “accent”; color, depending on the look you’re going for. Bear in
mind
that if you match the color of your hose to that of your skirt (or
dress), you will look taller and slimmer (something you may wish to
avoid if you’re naturally tall and thin). If you do wish to look taller
and slimmer, however, match the color of your hosiery to your skirt and
your shoe.

If you’re not sure whether your colored hosiery is too much for your outfit,
consider going sheer for a lighter and less impacting effect. This
guideline is especially true for formal occasions and business
situations.

“Brigitte” – 15 Denier Pantyhose

Wear black hosiery only with an outfit with black in it. Black hosiery
looks great with a black hem, black shoes, and a colored top. The nice
thing about very natural shades of hosiery is that they work well with
almost any style and color of outfit, whether the outfit comprises
natural shades, very bright shades, or dark/black shades.

HOW TO CHOOSE A PERFECT HOSIERY GIFT


I know that women’s stores frighten men to no end but there
is nothing
more exciting and titillating than having him go out
and buy nice hosiery
for you. Listen up men, we women like it
when you take the reins and go
shopping for things like this,
but that does not mean we want you to come
home with
something that is painful or super itchy to wear. The key to
buying the right kind of hosiery for women is to go with
something that
looks hot while still maintaining some practical
  aspects.

The first place to start when you are thinking of shopping for hosiery for
her is with her underwear drawers. This will give you a couple of
advantages. First of all you will be able to see what she already has
enough of and second you will be able to see the styles and fits that she
likes the best. I suggest you take notes when it comes to sizes too
because if you get it wrong and end up buying something that is too big
for her, well, I don’t need to tell you that will not go over well
at all.

Once you are armed with this knowledge it is time to take it on a trip to
the store. These days you don’t have to leave your house to go to a store.
Glad you are here with us.
So now begins fun part. Look through a couple of categories. best would be

Fashion, in case you want something very practical then all other
categories will work just fine as well.
When you look at the design of the hose please imagine your partner
wearing them. There is no two pair of legs that are the same, so most
likely hosiery will look different on every single person. If you look at
the patterned hosiery keep in mind basic physic laws: vertical stripes
visually elongate lags, horizontal shorten; Black color makes everything
look slimmer and smaller.

It may be a little daunting of a task but have fun with it, your
girlfriend or wife will appreciate all the work you put into finding her
the perfect gift of hosiery. And please remember if you have an idea what
