I spoke with someone who makes prosthetic legs for amputees. She told me that they recommend a womens nylon under a sock to help prevent rubbing when a patient is first using their new prosthetic leg. When she heard about our trip she told me to buy some knee high nylons to wear under our normal socks to help prevent blisters. She says it works like a charm for amputees. Anyone ever heard of this or tried it?

I tried knee-high nylons under lightweight socks for a trip to New York City when I knew we would be doing a lot of walking - and I had an incipient blister [a red, tender spot on my foot] from incautious choice of footwear the day before the trip. It worked fine and was cooler than my double-layer WrightSocks. A couple of pairs of knee-highs take very little room.
Along with a nylon I also use Q-Tips to reach difficult spots.
The solvent/polish I use is Xylene. By the way, my wife is
suspicious of me because I ask her for nylons and fingernail
polish (which I use for masking for plating.)

LOVE 100% nylon stockings! Wearing 10denier Cervin nylons on and feel so nice! Legs need to be shaved and smooth as they are so sheer ! Feel wonderful to feel with a hand or hands for sure !! Plus guys seem to love them also LOL
Hey there SMV...I was worried about this also for when my daughter got married. I tried them ahead of time. I found panty hose felt like I was choking in them and I also trashed the front of the hose because there was no room for my pouch to expand. The material there is very different than in the legs. It has more of a knit to it they did not run from my butchering of them. But, I found the elastic at the top drove me nuts. Since one of my surgeries left me with peritonitis, my wound had been left open to heal from the inside out and I was also hooked up to a Vacu-Pak to suck out infection. Healing took many months of being in the hospital. My stomach since then has been very sensitive to pressure of any kind so wearing panty hose was out of the question after I tried them once. My go to when I need to wear something that is not a knee high are the thigh high ones. I actually love them and did not feel like they were too tight at all. If anything, I was more concerned that they would slip down. They have a special elastic on the inside, around the tops that help them stay in place, they are not based on tightness or cinching off blood supply. They were very comfortable, I spent the money on a little more expensive brand and I just love them. Just before the wedding, my sister came to me to see if I had a spare pair of panty hose because she has a nasty run n hers. I gave her my spare package and said a silent prayer that my nylons would hold up for the wedding. That wedding was three years ago and I still wash and wear the same nylons. I just love them. I can't say I have ever said that before about nylons!
SMV...I was just thinking...If I had to be at work and wear nylons, I would consider a stoma guard. Have you seen Erics video on them? If not, have a look it only takes a few moments and they are very informative. They would cover over your stoma and give them a more flat sort of surface all the while protecting it from the pressure. How long have you had your stoma?
