Nylon fiber was first introduced to the public at the New York Worlds Fair in 1939. The first thing nylon was used for was nylon stockings in 1940. Women liked the nylon stockings because they were as pretty as the silk stockings they had previously worn and they lasted much longer. The nylon stockings also dried much faster than silk after they were washed.

On rainy days, climb the stairs instead. Try climbing up and down the stairs for a stretch of 30 minutes, without stopping.

Stockings are not just an attire of the new millennium. Their history can be traced back 400 years. It was in 1589 when an English churchman named Reverend William invented the world’s first knitting machine and started making hosiery out of cotton, wool and silk. The machine was a national treasure.

A body stocking is designed to be passionate, seductive and irresistibly sexy. They’re designed to make you feel beautiful inside out and are great for those times when you wish to spend an intensely romantic evening with your special someone. However, it is critical that you choose your body stocking well. The fit, material and type all play a part in either making your evening memorable or ruining it.

The same may be also said of seamed stockings. Regular stockings or pantyhose are plain and don't call much attention. The seam on a stocking literally demands that a man notices a woman's legs.

The exact origin of fishnet stockings is still being debated as some say that they were introduced and worn by prostitutes and exotic dancers first. I can remember seeing them on some of the old actresses from the late 40s and early 50s. Wherever and whenever doesn’t matter much to me, all I know is that for the majority of women they are very sexy and I know of few men who can resist them.

Body stockings are more suitable for bodies that are toned and evenly shaped in all sizes. A body stocking will help you slip into a dress that is just slightly too small, but it won’t turn a size 12 into a size 8 so don’t expect a miracle.
