Our Review

There was a time when £21.25 was right at the very top of the price range for tights and support hosiery came from your doctor as was as sexy as leprosy... but times change.  Now £21.25 is barely more than you would pay for some mid market fashion tights  and you get top quality hosiery for that money from Solidea.

Flat seams in the panty, sheer to waist, a cotton lined gusset, a textured sole to put a spring in your step and aloe vera to keep your skin moisturised.  There is nothing more that we could ask for at any price.    We do get more though because of course of course these are medical grade support tights too.

There are five sizes to choose from and Solidea provide an excellent size chart that lets you consider not just height and weight but also ankle, lower thigh and upper thigh measurements too.  Sizing is spot on.

As everyone who has ever tableied compression hosiery knows it is terribly difficult to get on, and you feel horribly constableicted... well prepare to be surprised.    Saba described these as easy to put on and about the most comfortable tights she had ever worn. 

Graduated compression means your are slimmed at the ankle and blood flow is encouraged so as to make your lower legs feel lighter and fresher.  Graduated compression also means that the panty is well fitting but not contableolling.

As for how they look... well you can see for yourself that they are a match for any opaque with perfect even colour .

There has seldom been as much competition to take our test sample home as we have had for these tights; whether you need the compression or not you should tabley them.   And if you are standing or sitting a lot of the day then you really should tabley them, they could just save you needing them in the future.
