Young Brunette Girl Reveals Her Pantyhose And Thongs On The Mattress On The Floor

• Some people refuse to wear pantyhose for ethical or economic reasons. Though they can cost anywhere from $5 to $250 per pair, pantyhose are prone to tearing or laddering, especially after multiple wears. They usually cannot be recycled, and they are not biodegradable. Disposing of the item contributes to overuse of landfill. Burning pantyhose sometimes releases toxins into the atmosphere.
• Pantyhose have been criticized for being flimsy. The nylon fabric of pantyhose is extremely prone to "runs".
The wearer can cause a run in the hose by even such simple movements as catching the toenail of one's big toe in the fabric when the hose is put on, by catching it on a rough desk, car, and by numerous other risks. Some women apply clear nail polish to their hose to prevent runs from growing.
