Pantyhose Salvation.

UPDATE: There is now an official online seller for Megna Pinchai pantyhose in Malaysia! REJOICE! Here is the Low Yat link for the sexy Ms Crys http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2126325 Do send here my regards and who know we might be meeting there ^^

I have a love hate relationship with pantyhose. I love wearing them. The way they can instantly make you have the je ne sais quoi look. Polished, pulled together. Or maybe it was the years growing up with Disney princesses and how a princess should always wear pantyhose and cross our legs at the ankle. Oh and sticking our pinky out while drinking tea with wash board posture.

How to be a princess:
  • Good nature
  • Great posture
  • Graceful
  • Neat
  • Crosses legs at ankle
  • Curtsy
  • PANTYHOSE!
But pantyhose, they are so fragile. The ones that we usually get at Guardian or even Parkson often tear so easily. A little snag on a nail, a tug a tad too strong and your heart stops as the garish tear stares smugly at you. All this on a brand new pair. And you know what? It's not my fault! Really it isn't. I've taken great care, Googled ways to wear them properly but still they tear.

Reasons why pantyhose fail:
  • Toes nail/finger nail
  • Wrong technique
  • Wrong size
Seems like it's our fault so far right? Well there is this one last one.
  • Low denier : thread count low means the quality is not as thick thus tearing happens easier. 
Often it's difficult to find good quality pantyhose at reasonable price in Malaysia as the demand is low here. But demands are low because many have the perceptions it's such a hassle and expensive.

Reasons why Malaysian women don't wear pantyhose:
  • Expensive
  • Tear too easily
  • Difficult to wear
But now, there is salvation. A made in China brand called Megna Pinchai offers many styles at great quality and even more amazing price. Imagine RM10 per pair but you can wear it 14 time PER PAIR and still counting. 

Sans pantyhose

R3293 matted  Barely noticeable right? 

Look no toe seems so you could wear this with open toe shoes.



  R3295 Lighter tone.

 R3200

 R3295 glossy

 Black style R3200 matted



    

Nude colour. Polished, natural looking.           Darker, more chic and edgy.

Verdict.
Con:
  • Not easily available in stores
  • Difficult to match when unable to do live skin comparison
  • The numbers get some getting used too. 
Pro:
  • Long lasting
  • Affordable especially when bought in bulk
  • Many choices to choose from
  • Barely noticeable.
  • Skin becomes smoother and less dry
  • Give finishing touches to office,dinner and everyday attire as well as when modelling. 

I found this thread online at Low Yat Forum where you can order or find out where you can buy it. It's actually run by a man! Rodyeo is a pantyhose connoisseur. Just by a thumbnail he can tell exactly which pantyhose it is. And you can get tonnes of advise on how to wear as well as prolonging your pantyhose lifespan. Alternatively you could place your order with:


Mr. Khong Sum Weng (CEO)
Progress Sock Industries Sdn Bhd
email: p325gmklang@yahoo.com
HP/SMS: 019-2667537 Refer to the link in the update above, thank you.

Definitely I will be ordering more as this is a great product at great price. This is a better option compared to tights as their thicker material is more suitable for colder climate. Last I checked, Malaysia is glamorously hot and humid. So you can still look and feel like royalty even in eternal summer.


 Signing off, Princess Glow * curtsy*


*The pantyhose above were sponsored for review purpose.

You look totally gorgeous in the last picture!! And it's really barely there. Wouldn't think you're wearing pantyhose if you didn't say so.

You really look like a Princess on the last picture!

Pantyhose are VITAL in Canada if you want to survive winter and still wear skirts... but they tear easily, even super expensive ones! I remember when I was in high school, my mom would just buy cheap ones in bulk for be to wear with my school uniform :)

@j_fish I think thats the best part. Instantly your legs look smoother and nicer thanks to good pantyhose^^

@Shmuberry In winter wouldnt tights be a better option? Most women don't wear pantyhose in Malaysia because it's difficult to find good ones. I wish my school would make us wear them. I love it!

FiSh said...[Reply to comment]

Glo-w~* said...[Reply to comment]

@FiSh This brand of pantyhose is really good! With the right technique my 1 pair lasted 14 times and 5 washes ^^

I did an experiment last few days... took one pair
each of Mengna Pincai R3293 & R3295 and soak
it with 10 table spoon full of salt water solution
and keep in the freezer for 48 hours... the result
Amazing!!!
Super elastic like silk and very much transparent
until the skin color blends with my dark skin
tones... resulting in super sheer and same color
with my skin color... magical but true... try it out
to believe it!
