Getting A Leg Up: Pantyhose for Petites


 

We all know the feeling.  It's that unsettling feeling we get in the pit of our stomachs.  It's the uncomfortable feeling that we get in the small of our backs.  It's the feeling that results from the so-called "waistband" of our pantyhose actually coming to rest at some point between our bras and our bellybuttons.  Yes, that's the all-too-familiar feeling of hosiery that was not designed with a petite woman's proportions in mind.  And with at least 40% of women in this country standing at 5'4" or less, you'd think that hosiery manufacturers would be more sensitive to the needs of us shorter women.  Sadly, they are not.   But all hope is not lost!  Thanks to TheFind.com, I learned that Hanes has actually created a line of petites and petites-plus hosiery designed especially for us!  (They are only available in basic colors, but, hey, it's a start!)  Admittedly, I'm not sure whether the lines have been discontinued, as these special sizes are not sold directly on the Hanes.com website.  But for now, I suggest you stock up on the pairs you find at third-party sites.  (TheFind.com also links to a few more vendors.)  With a pair of petite pantyhose, our legs can truly look and feel "nothing short of amazing!"
