Abstract

Support pantyhose, consumption of which has recently increased, have been advertised as follows; for example, support pantyhose make women's legs beautiful or slim silhouette, or make the swelling of legs lower. This paper aims to comfirm whether the effects of support pantyhose on silhouette or swell of lower limbs are true or not. Three kinds of pantyhose, the clothing pressure of which is high, middle and low, were used as samples. An experiment on silhouette of lower limbs were conducted by female students as subjects. An experiment on swelling of lower legs were conducted by working women as subjects with standing posture amd little walking actions at a constant working position in a pantyhose factory. The results were obtained as follows;<BR>1) By wearing hard-support pantyhose, maximum thigh girth and foot girth largely decreased, but ankle girth considerably increased. Because the ankle girth which most young Japanese women want to be looked slim or slender increased considerably, there were little effects of the pantyhose on silhouette of lower limbs.<BR>2) When the clothing pressure of pantyhose is higher, the swelling of lower legs became lower. However, it could be suggested that support pantyhose having higher clothing pressure was undesirable to women of over middle age.
