The unit of measure used to classify the pressure of the stockings is mmHg. They are often sold in a variety of pressure ranges. [citation needed]
Tights are a kind of cloth garment, most often sheathing the body from the waist to the toe tips with a tight fit, hence the name. They come in absolute opaque, opaque, sheer and fishnet styles — or a combination, such as the original concept of the American term pantyhose with sheer legs and opaque panty. [ 1 ]
Pantyhose, sometimes also called sheer tights, are close-fitting legwear covering the wearer's body from the waist to the toes. Pantyhose first appeared on store shelves in 1959 for the advertisement of new design panties (Allen Gant's product, 'Panti-Legs') [1] as a convenient alternative to stockings and/or control panties which, in turn, replaced girdles.
