I always wear hold-ups when fully dressed and sometimes will wear stockings with a suspender belt.
I do have difficulty when trying to put on tights / pantyhose, my lovely Wife who fully supports me with my cross dressing says put one foot in, then put the other foot in and gradually pull the tights up, but I seem to get in a panic and as it seems to take several attempts and I finally give up and go back to my hold-ups which I love wearing. Does anyone else have this problem when putting on tights?
Never had that problem with tights: never wear tights! Gilly
I'm a stockings and hold up's girl...xx
I struggled with tights for a while.
I've been dressing a lot more frequently over the last few years, about a year ago I just found putting on tights easy - just comes with practice I suppose 🙂
I've never had a problem put my pantyhose on. I start with one foot, pull the pantyhose up to my knee and then the other foot. After that I pull the pantyhose all the way up to my waist and smooth the out. I always wear pantyhose unless I'm expecting to have some "play time" then I wear thigh highs. Been wearing pantyhose since I first started dressing.
I've been wearing stockings and pantyhose since I was 4. I started with stockings, but keeping them up was always a problem. I used rubber bands, tape, or just tried holding them up. It was suggested pantyhose might be better for me. I had some problems putting them on in the beginning and even ruined a few pairs. Once I got the hang of it tough I was able to put my pantyhose on very easily.
That's not to say always perfectly though. Even today, once in a while I will put a run in my pantyhose when putting them on. If it's a pair I've worn several times, it was getting near the end of it's wearable life anyway.But occasionally I will run a brand new pair putting them on the first time. That is always disappointing, especially when they are very nice pantyhose I was excited about wearing.
I put one foot into my tights first and pull that leg up to my knee then the other foot inand up to my other knee and then pull each leg up at a time. Its like fastening a bra at the back, practice makes perfect.
Lizzie,

Sorry girls, got to go I’m giggling so much. Gilly (that nutter from the UK!)
Hello Alison, I to, have never had a problem with tights. Like some of the other girls, I place one foot in the tights pull up to the knee, then the same with the other foot, then pull the two together up over my thigh & around my waist. I wear tights most of the time, but do love to dress up in a nice dress & wear some stockings/holdups as well. love, Helenmarie
I much prefer stockings and garter belts over pantyhose, which are an absolute last resort. It is odd though, that I do like wearing tights and leggings, but not so much pantyhose. Never have figured that one out.

Ocassionally stockings and garter belt if I want to be feel really naughty,but other than that Im a tights type of gal.
I wear and love tights. They go perfect with skirts and boots. Like others, it is annoying putting on a new pair of pantyhose and getting a run in them. Staying with tights.
Lace top thigh highs only. As a teenager I used to wear pantyhose under my jeans from time to time. Also for my grade 9 High School initiation all the boys had to wear pantyhose and a bra.
Well, I wear them all! Depends on the situation though. I have never worn stockings or holdups when going to a public place, then I wear pantyhose, even under pants.
Pantyhose is much more awkward to get into, and my wife laughs a bit at me, and says that's why she doesn't like to wear them! With stayups or holdups, I've found that they don't always do what they are supposed to. Some seem to be better than others, and even stockings will come undone, which is why I don't wear those out either.
My technique for pantyhose is similar to your wife's, I put one foot in, pull it about halfway or so up my calf, then put the other foot in and work them up, stretching carefully as I go. Once, when getting ready for an important outing, I pulled too hard and put a huge run in it, and I didn't have a spare at the time. Fortunately my wife came to my rescue that time. Now I always make sure I have extras.
Too many pairs now, I'd say!
