I have lots of pantyhose. Lots and lots of them. And what proper crossdresser wouldn’t? I mean, they are so silky smooth and sexy, and they make my legs look great in any outfit But they are so difficult to store! Ok, a lot of newer pantyhose come in crappy packaging and you’re just left with a loose pair of pantyhose or tights. But since these are all made of cotton or microfiber, with only a little nylon, I’ve found they can be hung on hangers quite nicely. I have seperate hangers for each different type of pantyhose or tights that I own, and this seems to work pretty well.

But I also have a collection of classic nylon pantyhose, the kind you buy in a department store, handle with exquisite care, and wrap carefully back up in their original package for storage. In fact, I have a collection of over 100 pairs of real vintage nylons too that are 30+ years old. So I wanted an appropriate way to keep them organized

If you happen to have this same problem storing pantyhose, here are the scale plans for an awesome hosiery storage box:

The outer box that I used is a plastic Sterilite container – one of the 41Qt low profile ones. So print out the plans, scale them up if you want, or just use the measurements. The three “dividers” are just 1/4″ plywood sheets, and the crossbar is a 1″ x 2″ pine board. Cut three 1/2″ deep slots in the crossbar, each just wider than a plywood sheet, this will hold everything straight. And put a #8 wood screw through the crossbar and into each divider. That’s it, all done!

Here’s a photo of mine, full of pantyhose I took out one “cube” of pantyhose so you can see the structure of the rack part.

Here you can see the plywood dividers, with the 1″ x 2″ pine crossbar. You can also see how the divider fits in the slot in the crossbar. And it only takes one screw per divider, since the slot keeps everything from wobbling. A little dot of woodglue before screwing together will also help.

And check out how nice all my pantyhose look organized in my new box! Hope this turns out to be useful for you too.
