Putting on my pantyhose. I am not a happy camper.

[Denninmi]

Full length compression sock, all the way up to the hip. It's uncomfortable, it reminds me of Joe Namath in that commercial, I hate it, and I have to do this for two weeks.

1. Tell me about it!

I've found several substitutes that work for me, like slips. My problem isn't going away in two weeks. Lucky you.

2. I found thigh highs, don't need a garter, aahhh relief of a sort.......

But I haven't had to wear that stuff for years now, thank goodness.

[Denninmi]

3. It certainly gives me respect for what women did and do go through for "fashion".

I'm grateful men have it relatively easy in that arena.

4. Did they tell you to turn them inside out

put your foot in really good then roll them up your leg? Still difficult but not as difficult as pulling them on like a sock.

[Denninmi]

7. Pretty much my method.

That and the aid of the boat winch seems to do the trick.

[MuseRider]

9. Good.

That was information I used to give all my heart patients since back then all the bypasses were done with the saphenous vein from one of their legs so they all had to use these stockings well after they left the hospital.

A boat winch? LOL whatever works

[Denninmi]

10. See, just whining again.

Not like they cracked my chest open, it was just ablation of said saphenous veins, one little incision point. I just like to whine.

[MuseRider]

11. That is not whining.

It is still a pain to deal with. I had to put them on hundreds of people. It is hard!

[winter is coming]

12. That's not whining. I wore them on long flights when I was pregnant, and can remember

literally crying with frustration while struggling to get them on. They're hellish when they're brand new.

5. Sorry, Den!

Haven't had to do that since I retired, but did it every working day for many years!!! 2 weeks ain't sh*t!!!

[Denninmi]

6. I know.

I whine, therefor, I am.

[elleng]

13. HA!

I DO understand that's a difficult pain, and moreso, probably, for those who never expected to have to do it. And NOW, even my daughters don't!!!

[Worried senior]

8. I was really happy when

panty hose came out, was very sick of a garter belt or girdle.

[loli phabay]

14. nothing nicer than stockings with garters, not a pantyhose fan whatsoever.

[MiddleFingerMom]
