I Think I Have a Compulsive Wolford Disorder and Kind of Want to Stop
It all started that one fateful day maybe fifteen years ago. After scrounging up 30€ and heading down to the department store to finally buy a pair of those shiny tights that I had seen in all of those photos (that I downloaded of course). I remember buying that pair of Wolford Neon 40 in Gobi, running home in excitement and slipping them over my legs. That orgasmic moment was pretty much the beginning of my long love affair for anything Wolford.
Up to that point, I never really even knew of the brand except that the Neon 40 seemed to always be the pantyhose enthusiast’s first choice. Little did I realize it was a luxury brand, though the 30€ price tag on the Neon 40 tights was enough of a clue. Luxury aside, they were the most awesome thing I ever put on my legs, period, and every now and again I would get a new pair in a different shade.
Well, probably around six years ago (and many many pairs of Neon 40 later), I started browsing around their catalog and the bodysuits caught my eye. I remember one being on “sale” for 90€ and thought “What the hell, why not try it?” so I bought it, waited for the delivery and eagerly draped in on over some Neon 40s. I was hooked since it was something like a leotard (which I loved) but something more stylish and even something that could be worn in public.
Wolford on more Wolford was pure heaven!
Fast forward to today and I now admit I have a problem being hooked on Wolford. I collect them like bits of treasure… bodysuits, tights, skirts, arm thingies and (gulp) even shelled out for the most-coveted-of-all-time Fatal Neon tights. Now this may seem like an innocent affinity for just a brand of clothing. Hell, how many people wear only Nike or Adidas all the time? I’m quite sure even other crossdressers have their own preferences for their womanly garments.
Yet now I would have to consider it somewhat problematic for me given that…
I’m not exactly the full-time crossdresser but I rarely buy mens clothing or underwear these days. I need to wear Wolford all the time since they are all I have.
Some of the Wolford bodysuits I’ve only worn once, scared to wear again for fear of “ruining” them. So they just gather dust instead.
A lot of my Wolford tights are still in their packages unopened. I don’t want to ruin those either by opening them. I also like to pretend my closet is a Wolford Boutique.
It honestly seems like I collect them to make me feel “cool” as a crossdresser, like I have good taste or something.
A good chunk of my budget goes to the Wolford Boutique or on eBay looking for hard to find vintage Wolford items. It should probably go to liquor and good porn instead.
Look, it’s not all for nothing. If you’ve tried their gorgeous Neon 40 tights, you would know they are incredibly gorgeous, sexy on your legs but, most of all, they are of very high quality. It is practically the same with their other non-tights wear as well. Take a closer look at them and you’ll see the quality and even technology that produces them. Sure, they are stylish, but they also will likely last longer than you. Note that I say this and still don’t want to ruin the Wolford wear I have now. Hence, my little conundrum here.
So I’m making a pact with myself this new year. STOP BUYING WOLFORD!
Well, getting one or two Neon 40s in those pretty new colors that come out each year would be OK I guess.
No! No! NO! You can’t stop and you know it! 🙂
I too am a Wolford addict. Like you, once I discovered them, I just don’t wear anything else, except for SIL nylons when wearing a corselette or girdle. I think that back-seamed Cuban-healed nylons over some Gobi 40’s is absolute heaven!!!!
So nice to see you posting again. I’ve been following you for quite some time and look forward to your posts.
Happy New Year,
Beth

Glad to to hear I’m not alone! Thank you for coming back for a read as well Beth. It’s a pleasure to have you here.

I couldn’t ever stop and hope you don’t. I love the look and the feeling. Sheer to waist pantyhose are so smooth and silky and the way they feel on my cock makes me very horny. It’s fairly easy to graduate from Hanes, etc. to Wolford, Dim, and Oroblu. They are so femme and sexy. I love humping another partner in pantyhose. It feels so marvelous. My ex wife and I would hump each others’ pantyhose feet until we came. I did this with a crossdresser gurlfriend as well who had just as big of a pantyhose fetish as myself. Also a very stylish dresser. It’s so erotic when someone shares the same fetish and wants to play. The orgasms are so intense.
Sounds lovely! Thanks for passing by @Sheerstar99
Consider yourself lucky. I’m 6′ tall and have rather thick, muscular thighs and buttocks. Wolford just doesn’t accommodate my size very well. I did find in more recent times a slightly more generous XL size was added to some styles, like Wolford De Luxe 50. I got them. And while they were nice, I wasn’t so blown away to feel the price was worth it. I think the Neon series looks more like my speed, but I’ve not yet tried them.
Speaking of vintage… I’ve found that there’s not just the danger of a style going extinct, but also that a style may be changed… and not for the good. Case in point, Donna Karan Suede Jersey. They’re a control top semi-opaque tight with legs that have some glisten. The panty is a strange control top that starts about 1″ above the crotch. I have a pair that I bought 10 years ago. Recently, I had the idea to buy another pair in a slightly different color (charcoal, instead of black). Same style number (OB110) as before, same packaging. But wow… pretty huge difference. First, the original pair I have was stated as 60 denier, with a reasonably thick control panty. The new pair? It’s stated as 50 denier but is more like 40, the density isn’t naturally uniform (you have to adjust a lot), and the panty is about 50% thinner. Also, the leg material isn’t quite the same effect.
I expect Wolford is more like the BMW of hosiery and likely strives to be very consistent year after year. But others not so much. I had learned way too late about Fogal Rapallo. Sounds like a sumptuous step up from Luxe Fata and CdR Uppsala. But they appear to have been discontinued long ago. My only comfort is that they never went above size Large, and even then Fogal isn’t very generous.S.. so they’d have never worked out for me.
@Seamless I actually bought a pair of Fogal Rapallo which happened to be around $100. They are nice, stretchy and comfortable but I don’t think worth that price. I’ve never tried DKNY before though. That might be one I go for next!
