I want to get my first pair of thigh-highs. What do you recommend? (lemmy.zip)

Instead of trying to scour the web for (usually Ai generated) recommendations, I figured I would come where the experts are at :3

I absolutely love compression on my legs, so, while I don't really visit communities like here, I can see there are lots of people here that have the knowledge. If there's a better community to post this to, I can move it there.

I need socks that are suitable for tall and skinny. 5' 10" and about 130lb. I would like ones that teach the upper thigh if that's a thing. I would use them mainly for sleeping or lounging around, so ones that resist slipping would be great. As far as budget, $40 max, but I'd prefer under $30. I'm in the US by the way.

I do like the idea of rubber grips. Do you feel they rub you or squeeze too hard?

It's nice to hear how good they make you feel!

Funnily enough, I'm a fairly typical cis person (maybe a little bi in some ways). It's still cool to see how these communities interact and live. I was raised as a kid to hate anything other than straight and cis, so getting a chance to be involved with these communities is a bit of a new thing for me.

Going to shops like those is no problem for me. The main problem is there aren't many near where I live.

They are snug and I love how they feel on my thighs. If they were too tight or uncomfortable, I would not be recommending at all! No way would I want to put others thru that. Hope this helps!

That's great to hear!

I'm thinking I might go with Sock Dreams for my first pair. I'm looking for something thicker and more sock-like.

I will definitely keep Kixies on hand though for potential future socks (or if I want to get socks for someone else :3)
