If your in to crafts,I use them to make spiderweb effects when I paint things.cut out shapes,make runs in them,strech them out and tape down,spray your paint 12" from the surface,and let dry,remove the patern.Save the patern for another project.

|
|
| Those dang things cost so much (mine were Penny's brand and lasted very well) that any use after they become unwearable is a plus!
|
|
|
|
another great idea,that person really didn't know what he or she had when they came up with them did they?
|
|
|
|
| Also tie knots in a cut-off hose leg, reverse so double layer, and fill with moth balls and knot again with a loop to hang in closet to protect the few woolen things I still have.
|
|
|
|
Great idea,I'll need to try that,thanks.

It's not panty hose, but we often throw it in the trash and that's the plastic netted bags that onions are purchased in and some other produce.
The netting is good for feeding the birds suet cakes. They can hold on to it for stability all the while having a treat. These are especially good in the winter time.

| Shareing creates good old American Knowhow ( if thats a word)I know it's a fraze.lets hear some more uses.
|
|
|
|
| I grown a lot of lavender and I do know how to dry it. Thought I might take my friends idea and fill the panty hose with lavender. It doesn't have to be refreshed as often, it holds its scent for a long time. Love the smell of cedar though!
|
|
|
|
Wow, some wonderful idea's for panty hose. I love the suggestion of putting cedars chips inside and hanging them in closet also cutting them widthwise for plants.
Thank you,

| They do keep onions for a long time. I love Vidalias, so I store them in th basment at the end of the season-and they last for months! Michelle

|
| Patches: Thanks for another use for the old panty hose.Put Cedar chips in them,and put in drawers,hang in the closets,they keep moths-spiders-and other criders out.Just like the potpouri you'll need to refresh it ever so often.
|
|
|
|
I know I dragged this topic back, but I thought this was funny.
One of my friends told me that she came up with a great idea. She cuts up old panty hose, fills them with potpouri and puts them in her dresser drawers.
Had to share that.
|
|
|
|
| Use your panty hoses to dry and keep your onions in,they last a long time.
|
|
|
|
| Pull um up girls,no sagging now,how about a few more uses,these things seem to have more uses than paper.

| Hated garter belts and seamed hose waaay more than panty hose - but wore the panty hose for years, under slacks, to work, just to keep warm. Don't wear them now, retired, but keep them for dress-up if that ever happens, HA. But the best use is to cut them top to bottom widthwise into rings and use them to tie up plants - they are soft , stretchy, don't harm the stems, and blend right into the foliage.
|

I am so glad that it is warmer---no panty hose!
They are instruments of torture, either that or I just have the shape that will not work with them.
When I was thin, they'd fall down. Now that i am a pumpkin, they roll down slooooooooowly, but surely to some place that they aren't meant to be. same result--and I detest them.

Give to the kids to use over fruit jars when they catch fireflies.

I use to wear panty hose but no more. With all the sliding and rolling and runs. I gave up. Besides, my honey said I have great legs. Show them off. He found a better use for them like using it to patch a broken water hose till he got a new one. ha! ha!
So I guess they were good for something...just not my legs.
|
|
|
|
| Yes he did,and I know a lot of hunters that wear them for the same reason,except they put flys in them,"not the ones with wings"
|
|
|
|
Did he really? Or was that just a promotional stunt?
|
|
|

Joe Willie Namoth,used to wear them in the Winter,to keep himself warm,Question? How did he?
|
|
|
|
Pantyhose- the invention of the devil. When i was skinny I couldn't keep them up, now that I'm fat they like to slowly roll down to someplace they were never meant to be!!!! LOL from all the other comments!!!!

Solders,had to have something lightweight,portable,and made the Ladies fell Special,to win their favor.could you imagine,packing around lobster,wine,and chocolate all over Europe during WWII. besides they made good gun socks on the front,kept the gun clean.

| Lapeta, I wore pantyhose every day for many years, and I too, cut of the bad leg and doubled up. Goodness, I can't even imagine doing that now. Nowadays, when I dress up, I wear longer skirts and then I wear knee highs. I can't wear thigh highs. Once in a while, especially if I am going to be dressed up for a long period of time, I do wear panty hose but I don't relish it. It's not so bad after you get them on it's putting them on that is the delimma. I don't like to wear the knee highs longer than a couple hours (it's okay for church or something like that) and I get a special kind that has wide ribbing on the top. It's not good for circulation to wear the knee highs for prolonged periods of time.

I hate pantyhose and I KNOW they had to be invented by a man. LOL,,,,JK guys...

| I like panty hose for two things, I wear them in the winter only, come summer I get my legs tanned outside and wear nothing on them all summer long. I find that Kmart panty hose fit me the best, and their pretty durable. Also, I use them when I'm through with them to put on my washing machine hose to catch the lint. Now if I have two bad ones, I cut off the bad leg on each and wear them that way, you have double support on the stomach. I also remember when the mini skirts came out, I think panty hose came out right around that time. I can also remember one very embrassing moment for me when I was walking home from school, I had on a pair of fishnet stocking and garters on. As I was walking the garters popped a loose, you should have seen me trying to fasten them back up, I knew the cars going by was wondering what I was doing. So eventually I just took them off. But I'm glad that skort, and guachos are back in style, it's like wearing a skirt and pants at the same time.

They make a good straner,( the new ones)

The last time I tried on panty hose, I had gotten the wrong size and it was a wrestling match for sure - and they won. I had to wear them, so for the night, they lived below my belly.

| Why not, bare legged??? I always get a good tan in the summer and I never wear stockings. I would roast to death. Of course, I rarely wear skirts and never dresses....It's capris, for me.

Speaking of panty hose, I heard that the new way is to go bare legged. NOT ME! LOL What do you think about that?

| I guess we're all young enough to remember stockings and garter belts and how stockings would never stay up! I never thought about them coinciding with miniskirts but I guess that's true. I was in high school then. Panty hose were a Godsend at the time. Now I mostly use knee highs.
|

I knew it!! It was a man that invented them...
The History of Pantyhose?
Allen Gant Senior invented pantyhose. In 1959, Glen Raven Mills of North Carolina introduced pantyhose -- underpants and stockings all in one garment. With the addition of an opaque nylon top, panthose eliminated the need for multiple "foundation" garments. In 1965, Glen Raven Mills developed a seamless pantyhose version that coincided with the introduction of the miniskirt. Allen Grant Senior is a descendant of John Gant, who founded the textile mill in 1902.

| I'm with you on the panty hose thing. I am wearing pants to EVERYTHING tyhese days and this is from a lady that used to NEVER wear pants. (I thought they made me look fatter.) I wore dresses and panty hose every single day. Nowadays, however, I think dresses and skirts make me look frumpy. We sure do change over the years, don't we. I'm not saying that I never will wear panty hose again but if I can get out of it, I certainly will. I'm in for comfort these days.

I still like putting them on when I an really want to dress up.

| I'd hang myself with them before I'd ever wear them again!!!

|
| I haven't worn them for maybe 20 years. They itch, they are torture. I used them to tie up my tomatoes...LOL

|
|
| OkieP...that is extactly what stockings are good for! Some very evil person came up with that idea. LOL. I refuse to wear them...long skirts or pants for me.

| I cut up all my wifes,put that new cat litter in the feet.It keeps the moisture down in my tool box,No more Rust.

Do you have trouble putting on panty hose like I do?
It is such a struggle to get them up not only because of my fat getting in the way, but also my painful knees. I'm sure that it is a very funny picture ..lol .
