D is the unit for measuring the knitting thickness of pantyhose in the general market, which is called "denier" (translated as "Daniel" in Chinese) and also defines the opacity of pantyhose.

The higher the denier, the heavier the weight and the stronger the compactness. The lower the denier, the thinner and more transparent the fabric is. The greater the pressure on socks, the better the stovepipe effect!

Panties appeared in 1960' s and became another optional lower body clothing form of stockings.
