Ladies I saw the post on skirts below and thought maybe you all could help me out with tight shopping .
I cannot wear anything nylon or poly on my feet where my ecsema is worst . At times I can't even wear socks as I'm sensative to elastic as well . So tights or leggings without feet is best for me .
We live in a very cold climate for winter months so a thikcre fabric is perferred . Yes I can buy longjohns but being a family full of men and boys it is nice to have some female presence

especially in the wardrobe . Since gaining wieght I wear many overals and plaid shirts which I am getting a tad tired of. I've been wanting to move into some of my skirts again which do fit me fine but the tights I have all have shot wastebands and plus the fabric is all faded . It'd be nice to find something new .
any suggestions ?

I have tights from Maggie's Organics that are cotton and have held up well. I can order them through my local food co-op, which is nice.

The problem is that Maggie's Organic tights do have some nylon and rubber - so if you are allergic to nylon or latex (which you may be if you react to elastic) - they may bother your eczema.

I empathize with you - I have not found 100% cotton tights for adults here - I may have to ask a friend in England to look for some there for me.

Marilyn have you ever tried the soft wool leggings ? I always wanted to but I have reaction to wool sweaters that are that sort of brikly wool . I am sort of afraid to invest money on the tights . They claim not to be itchy wool . I am in Canada and there are wool legging suppliers here .
I can handle some leggings with elatic / spandex but that is because if my feet get itchy I can just roll up the legging but yes I'd prefer an all cotton version for sure . my hands , feet , neck area & face are all the most sensative spots but I've even had trouble with these new undies stores are putting out it seems they are all full of spandex .
Thanks a bunch

Marilyn I have seen, a long time ago, a couple of English online shops that sold the cotton tights but I couldn't justify the shipping. Now I wish I had and now I wish I had bookmarked them!!! If you find them there, could I get in on an order with you? My dd 4yrold really needs some this winter.

Kacky if you're looking for child size ones.. I found this site Knees 'N' Toes The even talk about how the cotton tights help with eczema.. but you could contact them and be sure they're 100% cotton.
