Our Review - by a guest reviewer

Upon opening the packet the first thing which hits you is the smell of the aloe vera – very strong but not off putting, actually quite a pleasant smell! Once you handle these tights their softness is rather apparent, they are so soft in your hand and more than justify the £2.50 price tag in this department. Unfolding the tights reveals a delicate floral pattern around the gusset area which is a nice detail on tights at this price.

Putting these tights on the story only gets better. They feel really delicate in your hands and once your hand gets to the supported area the softness is retained throughout. Putting these tights over your legs requires a little bit of skill and patience. These tights are extremely tight and fit like a second skin. I’m not kidding! Work slowly and carefully and you will be rewarded.

The supported area feels fantastic and doesn’t look unsightly either. The remainder of the tights also fit well and cling to the skin real close but without being constricting. They do stretch but you will have to use some gentle persuasion on them, yes they’re 20 denier but be careful, they are still sheer tights so they are prone to laddering easily.

Once you have them on, the overall look is highly satisfying. The colour is a lovely shade (I chose a natural colour pair but they come in black also) with the colour distribution even from waist to toe. There is an oh-so-slight shine in the right light which looks very luxurious.

These tights function brilliantly and not only do they provide great support (just the thing for walking around town and being on your feet all day!) they are great for a little extra warmth. Usually for warmth I’ll go for something heavier like a 100 cotton rich opaque. They also keep you cool if it’s a little warmer! They stay in place extremely well and the waistband sits comfortably on your waist.

To summarise then, these are absolutely fantastic sheer to waist tights which MORE than justify the £2.50 price tag. I would happily pay £10 for these tights. If you are looking for a good support tight than this may just be the pair for you.
