Try rolling it at the waist like a skirt if there's not too much fabric.

Hmm, I don't wear pantyhose but as a tall-ish woman with a long rise (distance between crotch and waist) I do sometimes have problems with allegedly high waisted garments that are too small in the waist because they are trying to close around my hipbones. That is wildly uncomfortable, yes. But if they are really so high waisted that they reach my natural waist, they are so comfortable.
So I think your pantyhose are just too small in some dimension, maybe try a bigger size or see if you can find some that are labeled "tall".
Never had your issue, but Dim is okay. Mid-range quality.
No, pantyhose should not hurt. If they hurt, they are too small. The problem with pantyhose that don't go up so high is that they end up rolling down and bunching weirdly if they can't anchor themselves high up. They are not as sturdy as leggings, which is why they roll down.
I hope that helps!
It's why I don't wear panty hose. They absolutely are restricting and uncomfortable around my stomach, but importantly 1. I'm fat and 2. It's the major way my autism manifests, my brain fucking screeeaaaams about restrictive clothing in any form.
High rise pantyhose tend to be very comfortable as long as it isn’t too hot. They’re nice because they don’t slide down. Most have some extra elastic that helps keep your belly looking smoother and flatter, as well as keeping the lines from showing.
My issue with low rise is that if it’s not up to your waist there’s a higher risk of them sliding down. It’s super uncomfortable when you’re walking and the crotch of your pantyhose is now halfway down your thigh. There’s no good way to fix it either without going to the bathroom to adjust. Slipping does depend quite a bit on your build, the pantyhose size and type, and the brand, so trial and error will find you the best ones.
Best of luck finding good hose!
I haven't had issues with it hurting and wear it quite a bit
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.
Never have had an issue with the high waisted. I wear them often. Low waisted sounds weird, they might roll down?
i wear high raise pants and pantyhoses and it doesn't hurt me at all
