Generally in ok shape; the pictures at the top still look a tad amateurish, though, and I'd like to see more info that doesn't just come from the old EB article. /blahedo (t) 02:14, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Older stuff

I love the last edit.

"..erotic play simply involves pulling down the panties rather than going through all the steps required to detach the garters and re-attach them after the moment has passed."

Now who says they have to be detached at all? You give me some new ideas.. :)


I think i saw a girl wearing white stockings somewhere, but with white tennis shoes..

Kinda strange

Photo #2 "A woman wearing stockings" is almost definitely a man in stockings . . .

Exactly my thoughts. It is a man in stockings. Look at the muscular feet and skinny hips. Bib 14:27, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Don't want to sound pedantic, but that picture purporting to show fishnet stockings actually shows Fence Net stockings.

[edit] Function of this garment

Why is there no description of what function this garment performs? Other than covering the legs....the same goes for the pantyhose article. What is the point of wearing them? -- —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Question2 (talk • contribs) 15:26, October 28, 2006 (UTC)

  • Clearly someone who has never worn them! They're warm. Nekkid legs get cold. Goose pimples are boring and unaesthetic, as is shivering. As is frostbite. --jpgordon∇∆∇∆ 17:02, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
    • I didnt think of it that way. In winter its usually advisable to wear pants....although your legs may be covered, you only have underwear underneath the skirt. -- Question2
      • Well, "frostbite" is exaggerating, though I'm pretty amazed at how little clothing fashionable women seem to be able to wear in chilly weather. Regarding pants -- some women are sometimes required to wear skirts, and often common sense and fashion choices do not coincide. Consider high heels. --jpgordon∇∆∇∆ 16:08, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
