No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

pantyhose seem to be the stabler choice, meaning the garment won’t slide down after much walking but it seems to be a hassle if you have to go to the toilet. Hold ups (thigh highs) seem to be the easier choice, provided they do indeed stay up.

Any reason why pantyhose are better than hold ups?

If you’ve used both, do hold ups really stay up? How often do you need to adjust?

If I buy pantyhose, am I supposed to wear undies with it? It seems to be too much fabric down there.

Brands I’m considering are wolford and falke. I’m 5.9 feet tall, 31.4 inches waist diameter and 35 inches hip diameter. Wolford seems to be a good choice for tall and skinny women. According to their size charts I should buy an M. I’m not so sure with falke, because here my size should be an L, but I don’t know if this means the hold up/pantyhose would be too wide around my thighs and have creases or look stupid. If you’ve compared both, should I discard falke?

Is it a sign of bad quality if the silicone rings are exposed on hold ups? Some cottelli hold ups have exposed rings, but these are considerable cheaper than wolford or falke, although you only see them on the side touching your skin, the other side being covered with fabric. Is it also like this on higher end garments?

As said, if I buy hold ups I'd like them to cover as much leg as possible. Somebody told me hold ups cover up to one hand below your buttocks. Do you know of any brand for tall women that covers more than that?

Would it be a good idea to buy crotchless pantyhose? Sometimes I think it would be a healthier option for that area.

I would love to know the answer to this. Or some hot tips. I get annoyed with both
