Fishnet Stockings

Have you ever really thought about why nylon fishnet stockings are called "fishnet stockings"? That's because that is precisely what they feel like when you wear them. They feel very holey and this makes a lady feel very 'unholy' to the point of absolute naughtiness.

Certainly, these stockings are not the most comfortable of garments to wear but they sure make a lady feel sexy. They are just downright cold to wear on a breezy day but they could encourage someone to provide a lady with a heap of warmth!

But fishnet stockings also stretch out of shape too quickly too simply because there is not enough fabric between the holes to keep them firmly in place over a couple of washings. So if you decide to invest in a pair, please be aware that they aren't designed to last forever.

Too many knee-bends when kneeling down will tend to make most brands sag. And saggy fishnet stockings really don't look too sexy.

That probably only applies anyway on the assumption that you have managed to stop them from being torn on the first wearing. Fine, flimsy, silky material is very hard to keep intact at the best of times and even harder to do so in the heat of the moment, so to speak.

To care for fishnet stockings between wearing them needs a bit of extra care. They need to be laundered by gently hand washing in a very mild detergent and rinsed extremely well taking great care not to stretch them in anyway. Fishnet stockings will stretch out of shape very quickly if pulled too hard in any direction. Dry them in a well-ventilated area by allowing them to drip-dry.

If storing in a drawer between usages, roll the stockings gently into a ball and place in a linen bag with a lavender sachet.
