Default Lost in the world of pantyhose sizes, please help!

So, I'll be going to the US next week, and I am of course planning to do some serious shopping! lol...

I need to pick up some tights/pantyhose as well, but these sizings make me insane...Q, B and other letters, I've never seen those before.... So if anyone could help me out and explain what's what, then I'd be forever grateful.

Hi! There is usually a height/weight grid on the back of the package that tells you which letter you fall into. It depends on the brand, but generally, Q is "queen" (plus size) and A would be small/med and B would be med/large.

Be warned though, pantyhose tend to run small. IE Queen size might be maximum 190 pounds depending on brand. I usually end up buying the just my size brand, or here in Canada Pennington's brand are very nice.
