I have read the past comments talking about tights or stockings and that 50% hate stockings for various reasons such as the suspender belt slipping down over your tummy and that they are uncomfortable to wear. But with being a x part time cancan dancer I wore and still wear stockings (i coud't do the splits) they are great to wear in summer and more hygenic. But you must buy a good S/B. When I danced, I purchased one which was high waisted 3 hook and eye at the back which stopped it from slipping, wide tabs, and metal clips. Don't buy the cheap M&S for your asking for trouble, for the plastic tab easily falls away from the stocking top. I hope this helps you all to try stockings, but I still wear tights during the winter months
