Hosiery
Hosiery is a material that women use to conform to the social norm of covering the legs, especially when leaving the house. It is also a form of an additional layer to combat cold weather. Nowadays, hosiery is a fashion statement.
Hosiery or pantyhose is usually made up of knittings and wovens. It is designed to wear inside shoes. Wearing hosiery makes the feet sweat since it is made of nylon. Unlike woolen or cotton socks, nylon does not absorb sweat or fluids.
People usually endure hosiery for its benefits and effects. But a harmful effect of wearing a hose is the potential of having toenail fungus. Fungi may accumulate and spread easily as the feet and toes are soaked in sweat. The toenails are more susceptible to soaking in sweat due to the direction of the sweat flowing toward the toes.
Experts advise ladies to change their hosiery regularly and to disinfect their feet with water, soap, and alcohol after every use.
