page 57 Whose hose are those?
skyangel on April 6, 2025
I'll never forget the first time I bought my first pair of tights (pantyhose). They were easy enough to buy yet I felt my intentions were so obvious that I picked a store halfway between college and home to buy them so that if it went horribly wrong I would never have to shop there again! Crazy I know but such was my fear of being outed that I'd have found it easier to buy a girly mag than these.. and when I got to the counter I'd been so confused by the sizes and this denier thing I didn't even notice the wording said crotchless!
I realise too that not many readers will be able to relate to this but this comics will be here for a few years hopefully so for the odd one who does, then this is for you! XD

That seems so stressful! Also, it's the first time I'm learning about crotchless tights XD

I'm quite an authority on hosiery now! XD

LOL! Don't feel bad, I had problems with buying my first pairs as well, and I had my mother to help me! Trust me, there is nothing so confusing as women's clothing and sizes. (Girls, Misses, Women's - Small, Medium, Large, size 0 thru 14 or whatever) and let's not get into other items that you are kind of required to buy and have to figure out as well! Sheesh! I feel your pain on this one and also, yeah... Crotchless are a bit, racy if you're claiming to be buying for Mom huh? LOL! (I can totally see it happening though since it's happened to more than one girl as well, I promise you).

Dear A, You always put my mind at ease on the delicate stuff and I love you for that! But the fact that I still remember some of these seemingly small events so clearly many years later must say something about the ordeal it felt at the time which is why I feel a need to include them. I sat on the bus that day bewildered why a woman would buy crotchless and not stockings and why a simple grocery store would even be selling them but I later discovered it was more about hygiene than sex! But yea, I loved how in my youth people always assumed I had been sent by my mother to buy these items. Couldn't work with bras though!

There are indeed so many aspects to consider when it comes to the female body! Men have it easier when buying clothes. However, this is also because most clothing manufacturers do not take all kinds of male variations in physique into consideration.

I've always loved how female clothing can be bought by a numbered dress size system which often relates to any garment be it a dress, top, skirt or trousers but guys have to measure everything from waist to inside leg or chest and simplified it becomes just S,M,L,XL, and XXL which often seem too vague to me.

Cool Page. You draw sideface well

Thank you Lothar! Sideface feels much easier to do on a tablet as I often draw them too side on but once I remove the nose from view it helps a lot as I just have to tweak the rest of the facial features.

There's definitely more to buying tights than I thought there was. It must have been nice to get through it with a little bit more knowledge that you previously had. There's so much detail in those panels. I love it, but I can also count the hours. 😎

It was one of those times when I was thinking it would be a quick grab and dash and I ended up being stuck there for about ten minutes trying to work out the variants! XD
