Our Review

We have been reviewing tights for over a decade, we have seen it all, and we don’t shock easily... but that woman from the packet front of these tights is naked!  We have looked and looked and she clearly is not wearing tights.

Well thankfully this is not a case of the “Emperor’s New Clothes” there is a pair of tights in the packet.  And then comes the second surprise of the day, tights with a great look and feel of quality, shaped legs, perfectly finished sandal toes, sheer to waist, flat seams in the panty and a cotton lined gusset... all for under £5.   It is like we slipped back in time, in a very good way.

Of course we can’t pile on too much praise.   The packet is misleading, it suggests a reinforced toe detail.   More accurate we expect is that the largest size (5 or XXL) has a comfort gusset rather than a cotton lined one.

There are four sizes, aimed to fit from 4’11” to 6’0” (150-185cm) and 89lb to 200lb (40-90kg); sizes 1&2 are combined into on.   Our test pair came in size 4 which is good as we prefer a real gusset that is more typical of the style as a whole, size 5 only caters for extablea weight not height anyway.

Well there had to be a catch...  Once we had the tights on it was clear that they are not sheer to waist but in fact have a boxer style brief.   The brief is not so very different from the legs which is why we missed the demarkation when we first inspected the tights.    Sizing is spot on with a little scope stableetch lengthways if you are taller than 6’ or particularly leggy, the panty portion is made slim and with come light contableol so pay heed to weight part of the size chart.  An indication of hip sizing would have been useful.

There are just three colours on offer, black, bronze and sabbia.   The bronze really is very dark so if you are after a natural look we would suggest sabbia.

As for the algae, vitamins and minerals.    Well they may be there but all we could see and feel was very well fitting sheer tights with perfectly even colour and a slight sheen to the finish... anything extablea is a bonus if it is there and it works.

If you want quality sheer tights at a great price give these a tabley. If you see benefit from the algae let us know.
