Pearl & Poseidon stay-ups

A while back I got my hands on some Pearl & Poseidon stockings being rather curious about a company that doesn’t hide the fact that they cater specifically to pantyhose fetishists. Stockings weren’t my thing until I tried them out and now they even get a legwear rotation with a garter belt every now and then. Not to mention, they haven’t seemed to wear down with the usual snags, runs or heel scuffs. Real keepers these are!

So with the holidays approaching, time for the shopping for loved ones (me) and I usually splurge on some girly items Santa Claus wouldn’t otherwise give me. Up there on the wishlist (actually there for a while) was to try something new from Pearl & Poseidon. Since the last couple of years since my last purchase, their collection has expanded quite a bit. I’m not ashamed of being on their mail list either so I already kind of have an idea of what is coming out, probably the reason I need more of their fetishy stuff like right this minute.

I wouldn’t say the P&P items are exactly for dressing up for a quick stroll on your local sidewalks, maybe even a bit of a stretch for Carnival too. Yet they have this allure to them… shiny, silky and sheerness draped all over your body and not just the legs. Although I’ve only tried the stockings, I would gladly take their pantyhose for a spin too. Would they replace my dear Wolford tights? I wouldn’t go that far hun.

Yet this thing is something I would gladly slip into…

Sheery posing in Pearl and Poseidon stockings

To be honest, I have never really been into stockings during my entire crossdressing existence. They always seemed like just really long socks with no real erotic value like my beloved pantyhose. Not to mention, I find hooking them to the garters is actually quite annoying. If anything, maybe you’ll catch me in some stay-ups but that was as far as I was willing to go.

So I have no idea why I wanted to try out the new kid on the block, Pearl and Poseidon, a rather new brand of “shiny pantyhose” oriented fetish wear. I’ll admit, I was quite drawn to to it after first coming across the brand in an online hosiery store. In particular, the bodystockings and tight skirts and dresses made from sheer shiny nylon on their models really caught my eye.

Well I decided to order some of their Zenia stockings and give them a shot. I had expectations they would be worn once then thrown into a drawer of once-worn trials for the rest of eternity. Adding to my doubts was the fact that they came in only one size. Usually that means low quality shredding-on-first-wash garments. It never hurts to try though, right?

Then I received my pairs of shiny black stockings and another pair of nude stockings and was completely blown away. However, kind of bewildered initially.

First, while removing them from their package, I noticed they looked rather tiny. “Are these even going to fit my legs?” I’m thinking. But more intriguing, was just the feel they had. The stockings had a microfiber feel to them, not the typical microfiber, but an extremely fine microfiber. Plus they had a matte appearance. Quite strange since I thought these were suppose to be shiny.

But then I slipped on the first black “tiny” stocking and, wow, what a stretch it had. In fact, it had easily fit over my leg and probably could have fit if my leg were even double in size. Oh yeah, then the shine really came through appearing out of nowhere… really bizarre since I’ve never seen or worn anything with this kind of nylon material that is so stretchy. If you know me, I do know my pantyhose and this really took me by surprise.
