For many weeks, perhaps even many months, I have been checking online to find compression stockings. My compression stockings are wearing very thin. One set has a large hole in the heel. Several other pairs have areas which are paper thin. I found a person selling 5 pairs of stockings for $60. The stockings are not exactly the style I wear. I prefer to wear the stockings which are thick. The thick stockings are more durable and are less likely to snag than the popular sheer style compression stockings. The stockings listed for $60 appeared to be made from a thinner material.
If I am extremely fortunate, I can get a single pair of the stockings I like for $15 each. Most of the time I pay around $30-35 for each pair. This only happens after constantly checking and pouncing on any cheaply priced stockings. If I would pay full price, they would be around $150 per pair. So, paying $60 for five pairs was a very good deal!
But, I was hesitant to pay so much for stockings I was unsure how comfortable they would be. I have some thinner stockings. They have lost their elasticity long ago and have a tendency to fall down even though they are waist high and have a waist band. Moreover, the five pairs of stockings were black in color. I do not like black stockings. They look odd when I wear skirts, sandals or shorts. I prefer the stockings to be nude color. The nude colored stockings blend in better with my skin. I decide to not purchase the stockings and continue my frequent online searches for compression stockings.
A few weeks ago, I was putting on a pair of my compression stockings. To my horror, there was a HUGE whole at the top of my left leg. I could still wear the stockings, but it was uncomfortable. I frantically turned on my computer and starting searching for compression stockings online.
To my amazement, the five pair of stockings were still listed. Now, the price was $50. After doing a quick search, I could not find any other stockings in the correct size or compression. I decided I would risk $50 in hopes of getting five pairs of stockings to wear until someone listed online the stockings I usually wear. I bought the stockings and waited for their delivery.
Although the stockings were sent out rather promptly, the package sat for a long time at a post office half way around the country from me. As I waited, another pair of stocking developed a huge hole in them.
When the stockings finally arrived, I opened the box. To my shock, the stockings were almost identical to the stockings I wear. I could not believe it! Five pairs of high quality stockings for such a cheap price! I was doing a happy dance and praising God for this unexpected surprise!
