Talk:Pantyhose

message: A benefit of pantyhose is said to be warmth, but nylon is not a good insulator and the fabric is too thin to capture air. Instead they work by stimulating blood circulation, so that the legs do not feel cold. This works for short periods in moderate temperatures, but will increase the risk of hypothermia compared to somebody with naked legs (both by increasing the heat lost, by higher surface temperature, and by lessening the feeling of coldness - the naked skin will of course be more prone to frostbite instead). --LPfi (talk) 10:18, 18 December 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  Kills flight attendants 

message: Although sometimes rendered as a single word, panty hose is in fact a compound noun that should be rendered as two words, unhyphenated. It is listed in Merriam-Webster dictionary as panty hose, and as such, should be rendered on the English language Wikipedia as two words as well. I am making that correction to the entire article, and will wait patiently for the title of the article to be changed to reflect that correction. Now is also a good time to mention that panty hose is(usually) plural in construction, and the grammar of this entry should reflect that construction. I will be happy to make those edits too, wherever they are needed. 75.27.42.188 (talk) 20:20, 21 May 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Two Words and (Usually) Plural 

message: The risks section is making poorly supported medical claims. It is more or less promoting urban legends. We need better sources.
I have added a review from The Lancet, one of the top medical journals in the world. We should be using reliable secondary sources. 
Added another review for UTIs. 
It is amazing. People want to dictate women's clothing choices without any decent evidence and low quality sources lap it up. Reminds me of the link between bras and breast cancer. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) (if I write on your page reply on mine) 07:33, 19 September 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I am not ready to look for a conspiracy or shadow dictatorship at this point. , it seems like you wish to remove statements from medical journals in favor of both uncited and popular media medical claims. Can you say how the sources you are using comply with WP:RS guidelines and why you removed a citation to a medical journal? How would you feel if all health information not backed by a citation were removed from this article?  Blue Rasberry (talk) 14:02, 19 September 2014 (UTC)

thread_title: Risks

message: Could someone familiar with the technology go into the different "knits" that go into stocking manufacture ? As I understand it, there are two competing types:
*Non-hole, which is prone to laddering or "runs", hence the brandname "Holeproof"?
*Ladder-proof, which develops a hole when snagged.
