Pantyhose personal pages

Description:Warmth[ edit ] A benefit of pantyhose is said to be warmth, but nylon is not a good insulator and the fabric is too thin to capture air. Instead they work by stimulating blood circulation, so that the legs do not feel cold. This works for short periods in moderate temperatures, but will increase the risk of hypothermia compared to somebody with naked legs both by increasing the heat lost, by higher surface temperature, and by lessening the feeling of coldness - the naked skin will of course be more prone to frostbite instead. It is listed in Merriam-Webster dictionary as panty hose, and as such, should be rendered on the English language Wikipedia as two words as well. I am making that correction to the entire article, and will wait patiently for the title of the article to be changed to reflect that correction.
