No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

I'm on the market for pantyhose but everything I've found is high rise and covers your belly completely, usually higher than your navel.

I cannot phantom how that can be comfortable to wear, doesn't it hurt? But if high rise pantyhose are the standard it means people actually want them.

When I was deciding what sport leggings to buy I tried high rise leggings on once and decided against: it's simply too much fabric, it's not comfortable and I only need a mid rise legging to cover up to my waist, not all the way over my navel. Same should apply to pantyhose.

After visiting several stores I found a French brand (DIM) that sells one model of low rise pantyhose. However, I've not found a single online review of this product and I want to see what others think before I buy.

If you wear (high rise) pantyhose, is it comfortable? Does it hurt?

Do you know what brands offer low rise pantyhose?

Can you think of any reason why buying low rise pantyhose would be a bad idea?

I believe it's heavily dependent on your body shape what rise feels comfortable for you. Don't know how you are shaped but I have been sausage-shaped for years, my boob, waist and hip circumference virtually the same. There was a narrower spot just about below the ribs so the most comfortable tights and leggings cover my navel. There was a case where my tights got swapped with my shorter friend's ones and I had to make a walk of shame with a hangover (self inflicted, no regrets) in tights that no matter how high I hiked them, went fthumph after every five steps and rolled themselves around my crotch...

Now that menopause is basically here and my body fat is scooching from back to front, I've obtained lovely apple shape with waist bigger than hips. I got a pair of very stretchy footless tights where I can basically pull the edge up to my bra. Ultimate comfort, no rolling, no slipping, smooth like a seal.

I guess if you have low hips then low rise feels much more comfortable and high rise starts rolling whereas high hips need to be covered higher to anchor the waist behind something.
