Women's nylon tights, if chosen correctly, can do a lot. They will warm you, highlight the beauty of your skin and the slenderness of your legs. They will even visually correct your figure a little - there are such models. The main thing is to figure out what exactly you need and buy the right thing.
Tips for choosing nylon tights
How to choose the right size
A cheat sheet by which you can determine your size is usually located right on the packaging of the tights. It is a table where the markings you need are determined by height and weight.
Sizes can be indicated in two different ways: Arabic numerals or Latin letters.
- 1 (XS) corresponds to height up to 160 cm and weight up to 55 kg.
- 2 (S) - for height from 160 to 170 cm and weight 55–70 kg.
- 3 (M) - for height 170–175 cm and weight 70–75 kg.
- 4 (L) - for height 175–185 cm and weight 75–85 kg.
Important! The size you take should be true to reality.
Some women prefer to buy a model that is a little smaller, hoping that it will still stretch over time. But it’s better not to do that.
High-quality nylon retains its characteristics for a long time, even with intensive wear.. And a low-quality one runs the risk of tearing right during the trying-on process if you choose an item that is smaller than what you need.
Sometimes there are oversized tights on sale that, in theory, are suitable for any woman. In practice, it is difficult to say in advance how they will sit.
How to choose density
Typically, the density of stockings and tights is associated with such a concept as the number of DEN. And this value really characterizes the density, but not of the final product, but of the fibers from which it consists.
The thickness and transparency of tights, of course, depends on the specific threads from which they are made. However, in addition to this, the type and structure of weaving and the material underlying the fibers are also important.
That is two products from different companies with the same DEN value can look and fit completely differently. One of them may turn out to be completely transparent, the second may have significant density.
Important! The most unmistakable parameter is direct tactile sensations.
In accordance with it, you should make the final decision whether the density of a particular product is suitable for you or not. Touch the tights and figure out whether the thickness and transparency suits you or not.
However, as a first approximation, you can get your bearings by the number of DEN.
- Stockings up to 30 are usually taken for the summer, they are most often very thin and transparent. They will highlight the beauty of your legs, but have almost no warming effect.
- 30–50 DEN are tights for the off-season. They already perform not only a decorative, but also an insulating function.
- More than 50 are chosen, usually for the winter. These are dense, opaque models designed primarily to keep you warm.
How to choose material
The threads from which nylon is made may differ in composition. There are several basic options that are most common on the market.
Lycra
Gives the product elasticity and shine. Its content in tights can be 3–30%. The higher this value, the more noticeable the tightening effect of the item will be.
A product with a high lycra content can visually reduce a whole size. In addition, such models are more resistant to damage and will last you longer.
Acrylic
Used in tights to provide better warmth.. This material is also pleasant to the touch. However, over time, pellets form on it.
Microfiber
An alternative to acrylic without its disadvantages. She noticeably insulates the product and makes it velvety. And over time, things with the addition of microfiber do not lose their smoothness and elasticity.
Cotton or wool
Natural ingredients that are sometimes added to high-quality dense models for the winter. They keep you very warm, but without the addition of lycra they tend to quickly lose their attractive appearance.
When choosing a suitable wardrobe item, color, pattern, seat height, and neatness of seams also play a role.
Read carefully what is written on the packaging of the tights. Consult with the seller, thoroughly study the different offers. And then you will be able to purchase just such a thing that will delight you with its long service and beauty.
How to choose compression tights for varicose veins
One of the modern types of tights are compression models. They compress the legs tightly, thereby stimulating blood flow. Therefore, they take on part of the load placed on the circulatory system.
Therapeutic compression tights are divided into classes according to the level of pressure on the legs. There are 4 main options in total.
For varicose veins, the 2nd is usually recommended, with a pressure of up to 33 mm Hg. Art. And in the early stages of the disease - even the 1st, up to 23 mm Hg. Art.
Important! Compression hosiery is a powerful medical device, the use of which is prescribed by a doctor.
Therefore, it is important to use it with caution. Under no circumstances should you wear models with too high a compression class, unless you have been advised to do so by a specialized specialist.
When choosing the right item, you also need to look at the size. For compression tights there is a different line than for regular women's hosiery.
Here, to determine whether you need S, M, L or XL, parameters such as the diameter of the lower leg at the narrowest and widest points, the length of the leg from heel to hip, and the diameter of the thigh are used.
Important! Size ranges may vary from manufacturer to manufacturer!
Carefully study the packaging of tights. There is usually a table there that can help you determine exactly what you need.
It makes sense to wear compression products only if they are of high quality. That is, they contain cotton, nylon, lycra or microfiber, and are manufactured in accordance with standards.
To be sure that you are purchasing a quality item, you should carefully study the packaging. All information about the model, manufacturer, and composition should be present there.
How to choose maternity tights
Pregnant women are also often recommended to wear compression garments. After all, at this time a woman’s body needs to be especially protected; it is subject to additional stress. In particular, the load on the legs increases, which can lead to symptoms of varicose veins or other unpleasant diseases. Compression tights can prevent such unpleasant things from happening.
Important! During pregnancy, it is recommended to wear only preventive models of compression stockings.
These are products that are characterized by pressure on the legs of up to 15 mm Hg. Art. Moreover, you need to wear them from time to time, and not constantly, like higher-class tights prescribed by a doctor.
When choosing in this case, it is better to give preference to products with natural composition. For example, tights with cotton fibers work great.
Tights, selected according to size and purpose, are a way to emphasize and prolong a woman’s beauty and health.
