Want one nugget of advice from Shaindel? Many customers share their frustration that children’s stockings don’t last. They get holes, they get pilled. Shaindel tells her customers, “If your daughter is in high school or even eighth grade, switch to black adult tights. They last much longer. The Memoi 2-Pack is affordable and the control top is not so tight, so it’ll work fine for kids, and they fit smaller sizes.”
Have your own stocking-related questions? You can WhatsApp or text 845-445-8213 or email orders@hosieryandsockoutlet.com. As far as our question we asked Shaindel: So, which stockings and tights are best? Which are most popular? These are the most popular tights and stockings picks at Hosiery and Sock Outlet, in the black, nude (12, 20, and 30 deniers) categories.
What about kids that cannot wear adult size tights? Our cotton tights always get holes at the toe.
I’m sorry to say that some kids do just get holes in the toe no matter what they wear. You can contact me directly and we can discuss some options.
Really appreciate the Tznius measures taken in this post ty

Shaindel has the best customer service out there! Highly recommended!
Any recommendations on maternity tights?
I have the Memoi black maternity. Also a Memoi 12, 30 and 40 denier. I’ve gotten some very good feedback about the Mod & Tone 30 denier maternity product.
I love the memoi black maternity tights or the Berkshire has a bigger stomach, good for later months
I live in an ‘out of town’ community. I’ve been purchasing Shaindel’s tights for years and consider her a close friend. Her prices are so reasonable and she is so personable and honest. Its gratifying to see how much her reputation has grown; her business was mentioned in our community chat group several times recently.
I discovered Shaindel through BCP and bought my girls their winter hosiery there this season. I was blown away by her personal touch and customer service!
Shaindel has been in this business a long time; she really knows what she’s talking about!
Any suggestions for a black knee high for plus sized women? That actually stays up? TYSM!!
I hear the problem, it’s really frustrating when knee highs slowly fall down. Memoi makes a plus size knee high that is microfiber and 60 denier. It’s not a product I stock but could be special ordered. I don’t have feedback about how it stays up though. The non-plus size version of it is a popular item and I haven’t heard of complaints regarding it falling down. That’s model MS-736.
I’ve had only amazing experiences shopping here. Shaindel provides outstanding customer service! She will spend unlimited time with you helping you find the exact product you’re looking for to ensure you’re satisfied! And her prices can’t be beat! Highly recommend purchasing from her!
Hi,
Firstly, I’ve ordered from Shanidel before and have had a super efficient, cost effective, and pleasant experience.
Secondly, I am currently a little more than halfway through a pregnancy and carrying bigger than I have in the past.
I am using Melas, without the extra control top in one size bigger than I usually wear (M/L instead of S/M). I find them to be a lot stretchier and more elastic than MEmoi and the top can fit over my entire bump which gives me better support than maternity tights but not to tight at all.
I do see that they will get holes quicker than the Memoi and they do slightly pill when washed inside out (the inside will pill).
Great post!
Thanks for your nice review of the work I do. Many customers opt to take regular tights in a size bigger for maternity and put them below the belly. Some people find that maternity tights roll down. Also maternity is more expensive than regular tights. So your idea is really in line with what people are doing. But a lot of people also do buy maternity. So a person could try out both and see what’s most comfortable.
i am looking for not so control top black tights. the control tops just hurt to much and i need comfort
I buy the Omni 2 pack, any tips so they shouldn’t pill?
I’m not familiar with the Omni 2 pack. But if you’re not already line drying your tights I’d recommend doing that. I’ve heard washing tights inside out is helpful.
I really like the MEMOI FIRM FIT SHAPER TOP!! Best fit ever!! Highly recommended!!
Any suggestion for black opaque NON control tops for women? I find the control tops so uncomfortable. Thanks!
While most women do want control top I can totally relate to not wanting it. I have recommended some women try the same tights that girls wear but in large sizes such as A,B, or C in Butterfly School Collection or Memoi Opaque Tights. However, these don’t go as high in weight as the women’s tights so this option won’t work for everyone. Another option is thigh highs. Memoi makes 60 denier microfiber thigh highs. They don’t work fore everyone. It’s really an uncomfortable feeling when a thigh high starts falling down while walking. But for some people they do stay up and can be quite comfortable. One other idea is the Levante Airskin 80 without control top. It’s not currently on my website but I do have some in stock. If you are interested in it please contact me directly.
There used to be black tights without control, now they all have control! I started Making a slice straight down with a scissor on the control top.. I would love to get regular ones
Any suggestion for black knee highs (or just above the one) for people who cannot wear tights? I’ve only seen sheer black but i what opaque like tights
I totally understand not wanting to wear tights. Memoi makes microfiber 60 denier knee highs that are very popular. They are model MS-736. Additionally, if you basically want the same product but want it to go up higher on the leg you can try out the Memoi microfiber 60 denier thigh highs with a silicone band at the top. These are model MS-746. However, thigh highs don’t work for everyone’s legs. Generally, people with toned legs will have the most success with them staying up. It’s really uncomfortable when thigh highs start falling down more and more with every step a person takes. I’m also looking into getting another product in that has I think light control top and I’ve been told it’s quite comfortable. But that’s for the near future.
Suggestion for maternity tights. I take my regular opaque tights (filazi satin 70 control top) and snip a little down the front. I thought it wouldn’t hold up but it doesn’t fall at all and it just doesnt cut into you!
Filazi actually makes maternity black opaque tights! The Memoi black opaque maternity tights ran too big for me. I am short (5’1″) so there was sagging which was uncomfortable for me. (This isn’t the case with their regular 2 pack or even their nude maternity tights). Filazi maternity runs a drop more snug/shorter in the legs than the memoi maternity, and the price isn’t too bad for maternity tights.
