Leg Avenue Lycra Sheer Stay Up Thigh High with 5in Silicone Lace Top

Five inches of lace at the top, silicone lined, which is considerably more band than most stay up hosiery offers. That extra depth is why this pair holds position: the grip is spread over a wider area rather than concentrated in a narrow strip.

Apply the band to clean, dry skin with no lotion or oil, which is the one thing that decides whether stay up stockings stay up. Roll them from the ankle upward rather than pulling at the lace. White leans bridal and soft, red goes straight to statement, and both are stocked in Plus/Queen. Hand wash in cool water, lay flat to dry, and let the silicone dry completely between wears so it keeps its grip.

Thin silicone bands roll and pinch by the end of an evening. A five inch lace top distributes the hold, and it looks like lingerie rather than like a grip strip if the hem happens to move.
