Why do women wear pantyhose instead of stockings and a garter belt?

Update:

I hear cheaper, easier, warmer.

I do not hear sexier.

Men like stockings and garter belts.

    It's a lot more comfortable, they feel better and give more freedom of movement. Pantyhose also look a lot better than stockings, provided they are good quality and sheer to waist. And they are way sexier than stockings and garter belts or thigh high hold-ups.

    I'm sure there are men who like stockings and garter belts, everybody has a different taste. But don't underestimate the number of men who love pantyhose and prefer them anytime to stockings. Most men might like pantyhose a lot more.

    Well I am 30, and most of the younger girls in my office are starting to wear hold ups and stockings. I tried hold ups but they look like pantyhose and the elastic bothers me. Plus they tend to loosen up more than pantyhose. I did start wearing real stockings and a garter belt out at night and they are terrific. I never wear pantyhose out at night now unless I am wearing something so short ii look like a Hooters girl. With regular dress skirts I do stockings now, and they look terrific, so different than pantyhose. When a guy finds out what I am wearing, they go get a little childlike, and loose their confidence. Its a ball just to watch them.

    It's so much easier. I lived at the tail end of the era with garter belts and they are no fun, getting the stockings to stay on sometimes. (I think I wore garter belts about 3 times in my life). It would be ridiculous to return to them when pantyhose are so much better.

    Because some of us need a little extra support around the rear and tummy. I bet that most men would think stockings and garter belts are more sexy, but pantyhose are more practical for everyday use.

    My wife wears pantyhose everyday. She likes the way they make her leggs look, and feel, and knows how much I like seing her in them. Stocking as OK, but Pantyhose IMO are much sexier.

    Think of hose as make-up for the legs. If you take a 10 - 30 minutes in the morning to makeup your face and do your hair, and pick an outfit, then why not take an extra 5 minutes to makeup your legs.

    She get lots of compliments from men, and from some woman on how nice her legs look.

    I hate pantyhose and much prefer either hold ups or best of all stockings with a real garter belt.

    I think pantyhose are sexier than stockings on women. Everything from the reinforced toe to the control top. they are fantastic! My girlfriend can't wear them enough.
