    The queen size stocking seems to be shorter as well....so y'all (Carl and Evan)take that little bit of info and run with it.

    After you get the knee highs on the skimmer do you take it shopping for shoes?

    Ok, So are you all saying knee - hi's from Walmart or Walgreens.
    Are you taking the sheer nylon regular (pantyhose) type or do you mean Tights (white opaque type)?

    I buy the knee high hose, not tights.
    The tights would be better but I've not found queen tights....oh don't get those 2 guys started again
    Dollar General, Family Dollar, Fred's or similar stores in my area have them 3 for $1. I haven't found them that cheap at our Wal Mart or Walgreens but every area is different.

    What you mean "Us", Kimosabe?

    I'm a big spender--I spring for the Jen-you-whine Skimmer Socks or the alternate brands made for pools. The weave looks like it would catch far more than my beautiful wife's PH. (Frequently overheard in my house: "Oh D***! I just ruined a new pair of pantyhose!" )

    You are so right, the real thing is much better!

    I used the real thing last year however, this year I decided to toss rather than wash, thus the cheap knee highs.

    Panty hose and knee highs especially were invented to torment women! About the only thing a knee high is good for is a pool skimmer.
