In fact, in the category of thigh high socks, most of the socks are too small. Some socks are actually too short, and the manufacturer defends such sizes by saying that they are so stretchy that if you stretch them hard enough, these socks can reach mid-thigh height. These socks do in fact stretch to mid-thigh, but they slide down quickly because they return to their original shape very quickly after being stretched. If you want to stop these socks from slipping, you have to pair them with garters of the same color as they are, and high quality garters are more rare than thigh socks. So it's simply a paradox that thigh high socks that must be paired with garters are not a complete product.
There are also thigh high socks that look long, but they are so tight at the top of the sock that they can't accommodate slightly thicker thighs, or even rise a little higher than the knee before they can continue. Not only that, but the band at the top of these socks is too thin, usually only 1" inch wide. Such a width of the band becomes similar to a thin rope after being expanded, and they cut deeply into the skin of the thigh, leaving a circular indentation in the thigh. In more severe cases they may cut off the circulation of the thigh. Although these socks are long, they cannot really rise to thigh height and they are not true thigh height socks.

High quality thigh high socks certainly have a good height, they are a minimum of 28" or more from the ankle of the sock to the top of the sock, they are able to naturally rise right up to mid-thigh and are true thigh height. Secondly high quality thigh high socks are also very flexible, they will have a maximum width of over 12", which is good enough for most girls with thick thighs. Special mention should be made of the fact that high quality thigh high socks come with a very soft and wide band, the initial width of the band at the top of these socks is over 3" and they have a very good adhesion to keep the sock on the thigh without slipping. These bands are no less than 2" even after being extremely wide, so they do not cut into the skin, but stay very comfortably on the thigh.
This is what sets Kayhoma thigh high socks apart from most thigh high socks, and Kayhoma is one of the best brands of thigh high socks.
