Footed tight recommendation for under a wool knit skirt

[Crankin]

Jolt, the last one I bought was at Macy's (the one we met at to do the Madie hand off!). I would go to the lingerie department of any good department store, or a real lingerie shop.
Yes, I can imagine what you get when you search for petti pants.

My wool tights came. It was about 19-24 today and they kept me warm, but I feel a slight itch in the ah, rear area. Not so much in the legs.
They are still winners and they look great, especially with a sweater dress.

SK - why would a slip not work with that skirt? I have a short, black, stretchy slip that I wear with all my short black stretchy wool knit skirts and dresses all winter once tight season hits. I wear them all without it in the summer but those stupid tights (no matter what the material!) makes skirts cling like glue to my thunder thighs. Without it, two steps and I'd be wearing my skirt as belt.

I do get a little bit of spin going, but no worse than if I wore the same skirts sans slip and tights in the summer, so I'm used to it. It's my big butt/thunder thigh/small waist curse to bear.

Back before I thought about chemical exposures I used to spray my slips and knit skirts with some of that anti-static stuff. I wonder what was in it.

I've never had a slip that didn't end up as a belt under the skirt. I have plenty of my own lumps and bumps. Is there some new miracle fabric or design that I don't know about?

I found a variety of tights from Hue at my local Macy's that I haven't tried yet. One is even a wool blend. The legs are extra long. I mean LONG!

OK, I just tracked down a MSDS, and the active ingredient in dryer sheets is just stearic acid. So unless you're vegan, it's probably perfectly safe to rub your skirt, tights and slips with an unscented dryer sheet the way I used to do when I ran out of the spray.

Can I also rub my hair with it?

Do they make Spanx slips???

Hmmm, I doubt it as my slip is many years old!

I have two - one that is short, black, plain, and of a stretchy but slipery nylon type material. It's kind of an A shape (like me). My other slip is long, also stretchy, and beige and I can't remember the last time I wore it. My issue with cling pretty much stops at my thighs, so the short black one works in just about every situation (even longer skirts) because it keeps my skirts from riding up my legs as I walk. Static can still be an issue but lotion on my legs prior to putting on tights helps with that a LOT.

Personally, I think you need a new slip...but any reason to buy new tights is worthwhile in my book too! ;-)

I have lots of HUE tights (I like their color choices) and they have been quite durable for me.

OK, I wore a pair of the wool tights under a wool dress (actually the Terry Cadence dress, with a LS t shirt under), with my "petti-pants" yesterday. The temperature was about 9 when I left for work and it got to a high of 20. I was totally warm and more comfortable than if I was wearing pants.
Of course, my work colleagues all commented that I was wearing a dress, wasn't I freezing, and why did my dress have a zipper in the back?
