I can't remember ever wearing anything but the L'eggs control top pantyhose. I looked for the regular type, but I guess they only make the Sheer Energy style these days. (Who wears pantyhose now anyway besides those of us who don't think the world needs to see our legs in all their imperfect glory?!?) Control top and reinforced toe -- definitely need both. My weight/height is on the borderline between A and B, and I size up to the B for comfort. I wonder if I'll get through life without having to make a decision about another pantyhose brand? Keep 'em coming, L'eggs!
