    I have short legs for my height, therefore I have to fold my hose more than once at the top. Combined with the addition of the traditional garter ties, it seemed to make the tops of my hose "too bulky" (at least to my eye). Having seen these mentioned in another thread, I thought I would give these a try. I'm hoping they "take less room" since there won't be a "knot" under the fold.

    To reverse your question somewhat, I would be interested in knowing why, having tried the elastic garters, you did not care for them. (I am always willing to have my mind changed!) Did you find them uncomfortable, not "traditional" enough, etc.?
