Hey guys..do any of you recall REALLY liking pantyhose commercials as a kid before you understood why?
i.e. – before your understood what sex was.
I craved commercials for tights, but I don’t recall seeing a single instance. Before I had a pantyhose fetish, I had a tights fetish, because my female peers wore tights, not pantyhose.
In spite of this, I do have strong recollections of Sears “Legtricity”, which was a support pantyhose meant to compete with “L’eggs”. The pitch woman had an Australian accent, and sat on a cube, and crossed her wonderful legs.
I also remember the “No nonsense” girl, who was attractive, but unadorned, with a pixie haircut similar to but predating Dorothy Hamill’s hairdo. I distinctly remember hearing the “No nonsense” girl saying, “No nonsense fit at a No nonsense price” & “Comfort Stride”, No Nonsense’s first attempt to compete with “L’eggs Sheer Energy”.
I also remember the melodies/jingles for L’eggs: “Our L’eggs fit your legs, they hug you they hold you, they never let you go” & “Sheeer Energyyyyy, nothing beats a great, pair, of L’eggs”.
Since I remember them so well, they must have been PRETTY INTERESTING to me at the time, even if I wasn’t sure why. Perhaps I was a pantyhose fetishist in training. My subconscious might have said, “Someday your female peers will switch from tights to pantyhose. If you think you love tights, wait till you get a load of pantyhose. You will LOVE them”.
Sure enough, when my classmates grew up and switched to pantyhose, my pantyhose facination exheeded my tights facination. I quickly grew to love pantyhose. And I still do.
