Excerpts from the www.oliviamode.com/Contestia.htm site: Contestia is a digital mode directly derived from Olivia that is not quite as robust - but more of a compromise between speed and performance. It was developed by Nick Fedoseev, UT2UZ, in 2005. It sounds almost identical to Olivia, can be configured in as many ways, but has essentially twice the speed.

Pantyhose sheerness is defined by what is called âdenierâ. Denier or den is a unit of measure for the linear mass density of fibers, i.e. thickness of material. The lower the denier number, the sheerer the garment. The higher the denier, the less sheer a piece of hosiery is, yet it is considered to be more durable. Usually ultra-sheer pantyhose are the ones 5 up to 15 denier and those are used primarily for special occasions and warm summer months. Actually, 3 is the lowest denier available, yet it is virtually impossible to find any pantyhose with denier lower than 5.
