FUTURO Opaque Tights for Women, Moderate Compression

I have bad varicose veins and have used Futuro stockings for years, in all strengths, mild to firm, in Medium. However, I always purchased the same shade, Nude, and never had a problem with sizing. Until now. I don't know why the size in black would be different, but these run a little small. I have to yank and pull to get them to meet the crotch area, and after wearing for a little bit they start to come down and the process starts again. I'd buy them again, they're a great quality. But I'll size up and see how that goes.

They fit right, they look normal, they have choices of compression and they cost very little

These are great compression tights. I am a flight attendant and need compression to protect my leg circulation. I've been ordering these for almost three years and have been sent the incorrect size four times, I believe. It's very frustrating when I need to have several pair while on a trip. They last about 2 months with hand washing before losing their shape or tearing above where the compression ends. I am 6'0" and 148 and have to order a Large for length or they tear putting them on (and are several inched too low in the crotch area). Disappointing that currently there are only Medium available.

Futuro 8-15mmHg Medium have always been my go-to work all day pantyhose. The 8- 15mmHg lightest support grade do stay up on my waistline all day. However, I need L for this 15-20mmHg higher grade compression to stay up on my waistline. So as not to have the waist riding down & needing to hike them up repeatedly all day; The L has a bit longer leg length I need; the L stays up on my waistline all day (5'6" 133lb 32" inseam).
