[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just learned a few years ago, age 57 why women want pantyhose with control top.  It is hard to find pantyhose without control top.  I know really fat women can have huge bellies, but why do thinner women want control top too.

I'm a mom by adoption and it wasn't until I was told I didn't have enough belly to do an autologous (use your own tissue) to create a breast after my mastectomy.  I am plenty of fat, but I have no extra fat on my belly. My fat is on my butt and outer thighs.  All these other women were able to have a breast (or two)  created out of their own belly tissue and I was really angry I could not.  I started asking to see other women's bellies who were slim or average and suddenly they pull their active wear pants lower and a belly sticks out.  This was over and over.  I had no idea that so many women who are thin had a belly, maybe from childbirth.

But me, who is about 30 lbs over weight did not have enough tissue in my belly for even one breast.  That is the same choice for really skinny women.  How did I get in this category and oh, now I see why women want control top pantyhose.

Not a humble brag.  Only reasonably safe choice was implant, but: https://www.webmd.com/women/news/20190724/textured-breast-implants-recalled-for-cancer-risk

I had my doubts about implants, so I have a prosthesis.  I wish I could have had an autologous implant from my stomach.  Outer thighs implant exceedingly risky. Inner thigh implant risky and all the fat is on outer thigh.  back implant uses your back muscle.  I'd rather not lose muscle. [/quote]

Interesting. I didn't know that.  I'm a skinny woman who, post-babies, needs control top.  I didn't need it before kids. [/quote]
