Here are some tips that you should take into consideration when purchasing hosiery:

Hosiery types

Sheer pantyhose. Very thin types of fibers are used to produce this type of tights – 10, 13, 15, 20 DEN. These pantyhose are for special occasions.

Control top can be provided with brief panties (for miniskirts) or tightening shorts with lifting bands.

Massage tights. This type of hosiery stimulates blood circulation and thus let you feel energized and revitalized all day long. But remember that massage pantyhose have a preventive effect rather than medicinal.

    Hi there. Where can I get the modeling pantyhose with lift up action. I have used them in the past but cant seem to find them anywhere.(at least the same ones) I bought some real good ones with the name of Miracle Hose a while back but after that I have settled with other brands which haven’t been as effective. These type of pantyhose have improved my behind alot. I use them to work out and my body has sculpted into a fuller behind. Thank God for these pantyhose.

    Hello!
    I would recommend you to try either Lift Up 40 or Lift Up Light by Sanpellegrino. They have built-in panties that are
    specially designed and enforced to lift and shape the buttocks. They are my favourite.

    For medium support try Levante.
    They are good, too.

    By the way, look through brands at hosieree.com

    If you don’t like the ones I’ve mentioned above, probably you’ll find something there that
    will suit you better.

    They suggest various choices. Good luck!
