I only purchase the best pantyhose available. I have been in the fetish industry since 2002 and you have taught me that it pays to get only the best. I import them from all of the world and they feel so sensual when I slide my long 34 inch legs and small cute feet into them. I always take very good care of them, but every now and then I have to retire a pair. I wore a beautiful glossy, shiny pair to work today and got a run in it. My heart sank when I felt that all too familiar feeling of the run quickly traveling from my ankle to my mid calf within seconds. I was so pissed off that I shredded them to pieces as soon as I got int he door from work! I did still wear my satin gloves. I wear them when I put on pantyhose to prevent my nails from snagging the material, but love them so much that I wanted to wear them simply to make myself feel sexy
