Today I will be reviewing this pair of pantyhose from a new discovery during a hosiery shopping.

Construction
This is one piece construction waist down, as compared to several assembly sections on a regular pantyhose.

Waistband
Ultra wide and two ply waistband, this is by far the most comfortable waistband.  The width is wide enough that it doesn’t roll down for an average build wearer.

Panty
There is no center seam down the middle like most pantyhose, making it extremely comfortable.  This is especially comfortable for male wearers.

Foot
Sandal toe like most sheer to waists, which sport this style.  The foot shape is not formed so the fit isn’t as perfect as those with this build

 
Yarn
The yarn feels a little thick considering this is 20 denier.   Quite stretchy and fits well.

Comfort: 9/10
Durability: 7/10 (estimated wear count: 10 and counting)
Fit: 7/10

Conclusion
Overall, this is comfortable pair of hosiery.  Unfortunately, the Nude shade isn’t suitable hence I didn’t wear this out.  Special care to be taken for the panty area as seamless make, the price is pretty reasonable which is worth considering.

Hose Review: Elegance Creations Support Pantyhose

Today I will be reviewing this pair of pantyhose which I've got sometime ago, but have yet to do a proper review.  This pantyhose comes in a 3 pair pack so it's economical for those who wants to keep more hosiery for any emergencies.

Sizing Benchmark
I got this in Size L-LL for my height at about 5'8".

Construction
Regular panty and leg joint; the overall construction is pretty sturdy and feels durable.

 

Waistband

Regular waistband, which is a little wider than regular pantyhose.

Panty

Feels like a control top type as it has more elasticity compared to the rest of hosiery.   When worn, it feels snug to the skin, and the pressure is just right.

Yarn
The support strength is quite decent on the legs.  However, the material is too smooth, hence the noshow socks kept sliding off even when I changed to a less snug fit shoes.  It comes in various attractive tones, but for this time, I've tried Suntan and it's pretty suitable to my skintone, appearing invisible under regular sunlight.  The only tell-tale sign is the gloss when viewed from steeper angles.

Foot

Reinforced toe with a decent fill of yarn to protect the toes from runs.  The foot area is shaped to that of a regular foot, making it a better fit.

 

Comfort: 7/10
Durability: 7/10 (estimated wear count: 10 and counting)
Fit: 8/10

Conclusion

Overall, this is comfortable pair of hosiery.  I still find the quality of Japanese hosiery remarkable.   For those who like support hosiery like me, this is a make, which is worth considering.

Hose Review: Funfit Support Pantyhose

Today I will be reviewing this pair of pantyhose which I've got sometime ago, but have yet to do a proper review.

Waistband
The waistband is of regular construction; comparatively comfortable with the other models from this make.

Yarn
The support strength is quite decent on the legs.  However, the material is too smooth, hence the noshow socks kept sliding off even when I changed to a less snug fit shoes.  It comes in various attractive tones, but for this time, I've tried Suntan and it's pretty suitable to my skintone, appearing invisible under regular sunlight.  The only tell-tale sign is the gloss when viewed from steeper angles.

Panty
Regular boxer briefs with single center seam.  The build of the panty is quite stretchy, hence I had to fold the waistband down to prevent overstretching.  Probably because it's not a control top type, hence the panty feels like a looser fit as compared to the legs.

Foot
Sandaltoe, making it a good fit for open-toe footwear.

Comfort: 7/10
Durability: 7/10 (estimated wear count: 2)
Fit: 8/10

Conclusion
One of the comfortable pantyhose.  The yarn could be improved as I got a run at the sole of the foot at the 2nd wear; it might be a sharp object in the shoe but yarn quality is probably a primary reason.  However, it's alright as this pair tried has a production flaw down the centre seam.

Hose Review: Funfit Light Support Pantyhose

Today I will be reviewing this pair of pantyhose which I've got sometime ago, but have yet to do a proper review.

Waistband
The waistband is of regular construction; comparatively comfortable with the Elegant All Sheers series.

Material
Despite being 15 Denier, it's a little glossy under light.  It feels a little rough to the skin, due to the grip, unlike the coarse, scratchy feel from drugstore housebrand hosiery.

Panty
Regular boxer briefs with single center seam.  As this range doesn't have a large size, there's no option to get a more comfortable fit.

Foot
Reinforced heel.  The reinforced intersection can be seen behind toes when worn, unlike the regular thick reinforced toe construction, making it decently suitable for wearing with open-toe footwear.

Yarn
The support strength is unexpectedly firm despite being named light support.  This a type of support I feel right for the extensive walkers, standers and sitters at work.

It comes in Color 29 and 30, former being Nude equivalent, while the latter is Beige equivalent, with a hint of pink, making it look taupish toned.

Comfort: 7/10
Durability: 7/10 (estimated wear count: TBA as first pair is still going strong)
Fit: 8/10

Conclusion
One of the yarn-comfortable pantyhose.  The fit is a little borderline for my height, and when worn carefully and properly, it's still a great fit.

Charnos Luxury Invisible Control Top Tights 10D

Today I'm going to review the above pantyhose which I've tried.  At this moment of time, this range has been discontinued; I got it many years back in Takashimaya at a 2 pair promotion, before I started going out in exposed hosed legs.

Waistband
Wider than usual waistband gives good comfort around the waist, and reduces the rolldown effect from most regular-width types.


Material
Yarn is pretty regular like most hosiery.  Not too coarse to discomfort and not too smooth that it slides all over the skin.

Panty

Being of control top type, it has a gentle yet firm hold on the body, but without the panty-leg joint seam.  Flat centre seam gives additional comfort, with a cotton gusset for breathability.


Foot
Reinforced toe for additional strength.


Support strength is just moderate and is just right for me.

It comes in various attractive tones to enhance the legs when worn so it will be just right for everyday wearing.

Comfort: 9/10
Durability: 7/10 (estimated wear count: 8)
Fit: 8/10

Conclusion
One of the premium range of pantyhose.  Proper footcare and wear care to be exercised to ensure longevity of the garment.

Today I will be reviewing this pair of pantyhose which I've got sometime back and gone through several pairs.  It's only until recently that I started reviewing, so here it goes.

Waistband
The waistband is of regular construction; however, being freesize, the elasticity and material makes it quite uncomfortable to the skin.

Material
Lightly woven yet sturdy yarn.  It appears to be interwoven construction, hence making the warn more durable.

Panty
Being of sheer to waist, there are no seams all through from toe to waistline.

Foot
Sandaltoe, making it suitable for wearing with open-toe footwear.

Support strength is comfortable despite being of a sheer to waist build.  It comes in various attractive tones.  Coincidentally, the Flesh tone I've got and tried on is a pretty good match to my skintone.

Comfort: 7/10
Durability: 7/10 (estimated wear count: TBA as I have not started reviewing when I wore earlier pairs)
Fit: 8/10

Conclusion
One of the yarn-comfortable pantyhose.  Comfort will be great if the waistband is improved.

Hose Review - Funfit Nude Look Sheer to Waist Support Pantyhose

Today I'm going to review the above pantyhose which I've tried.

This pantyhose comes in single pair pack.  I've yet to see this brand till I went to my regular shopping areas and spotted them in the hosiery section.

Waistband
The waistband is wide and comfortable, hence rolldown is minimised.  This is subjective to the wearer's body shape.  Being new and improved, it has a better fit compared to the earlier model.

Material
Yarn feels smooth to the skin without any coarse clingy sensation, making it comfortable for long duration wearing.

Panty

As this is a sheer to waist pantyhose, it features a no seam and panty-leg joint area, making it perfect for short bottoms.

Foot

Reinforced toe for added strength.  Such toe construction is more suitable for covered than open toe shoes.

Support strength is just moderate and is just right for me.

It comes in various attractive tones to enhance the legs when worn so it will be just right for everyday wearing.  A little sheen to the legs hence it can flatter those legs a little.

Comfort: 7/10
Durability: 6/10 (estimated wear count: 10)
Fit: 7/10

Conclusion
A pretty decent grade of pantyhose, however, I got into runs for a pair worn recently at the 2nd wear.  Chose Honey as it matches my skintone best.

Hose Review - SuDeMei (塑得美) Sheer to Waist Pantyhose

Today I'm going to review the above pantyhose which I've tried.

This is a Taiwan-made product which I received from a friend.  Comes in a multipack set of 6.

SuDeMei (塑得美)Sheer to Waist Pantyhose - Personal stash.

Waistband
Regular waistband that grips the skin comfortably.  Being not of additional width, there is a tendency to roll down if worn too high.

Material
The material is especially soft yet comfortable when stretched on.  Despite being soft, it has a better grip as compared to that of Woman-deare.  The feel of the material suggests that it could be about 15 denier, with a little gloss.  Yarn is quite delicate, hence runs can appear easily.

Panty
Sheer to waist hence there are no awkward leg-panty joint lines to show when wearing short bottoms.

Foot
Sandaltoe construction, hence it's perfect to be worn with sandals / open toe shoes.

It does not provide support since this isn't a support range of hosiery.

I only have Skin tone; according to sources, it comes only in skin tone, which is suitable enough for everyday wearing.

Comfort: 8/10
Durability: 4/10 (estimated wear count: 5)
Fit: 7/10

Conclusion
Not the most durable pantyhose but it's suitable for light wearing.  Remember to bring an extra pair if you decide to go out in these, in case of unexpected emergencies.

Hose Review - Woman-deare (衛美得) Anti Embolism Pantyhose

Today I'm going to review the above pantyhose which I've tried.

Woman-deare Anti Embolism Pantyhose.  Personal stash.

This is a Taiwan-made product which I received from a friend.  Comes in a multipack set of 5.

Construction
The overall garment is light material, delicatet to the touch.  Panty-leg joint is regularly built.

Waistband
Regular waistband that grips the skin comfortably.  Being not of additional width, there is a tendency to roll down if worn too high.

Material
The material is especially soft yet comfortable when stretched on.  Being soft, it has a tendency of sliding down despite giving a comfortable fit.  The feel of the material suggests that it could be about 15 denier.

Panty
Leg-panty joint is quite wide and visible hence this is definitely not suitable for short bottom attire.  The seam down the center isn't quite strong, hence runs may start if overstretched on a bigger wearer.

Foot
Reinforced toe gives it additional protection against runs when worn in shoes.

This is a regular pantyhose, which I believe has a higher spandex content which gives a better grip to the skin.

Currently I only have black which is most suitable as part of work attire.

Comfort: 8/10
Durability: 4/10 (estimated wear count: TBA)
Fit: 7/10

Conclusion
A pair which is comfortable to be worn daily.

This pair of of pantyhose is packed neatly into a 2-pair pack, which makes it just right to carry a spare in case of emergencies.

Waistband
Regular soft and decently wide waistband that holds on to the body snugly.

Material
The yarn has a soft feel to the skin with a fine weaving, hence it doesn't grip the skin like with a claw-like sensation, like some drugstore housebrands.

Panty
This pantyhose features a regular, panty hence works well for regular wearing as it provides adequate support at the midsection, as well as a "one-piece solution" for the lower body.

Foot
Made with a reinforced toe, runs are protected at toe area of footwear, where most frictions occur.  The yarn is a little shiny despite being 20 denier, and yet appear thinner but having the same denier level with the Elegant All Sheers.

Support strength is just moderate and is just right for me.

It comes in various attractive tones to enhance the legs when worn so it will be just right for everyday wearing.

Comfort: 7/10
Durability: 7/10 (estimated wear count: TBA)
Fit: 7/10

Conclusion
So far this is my favourite pantyhose.  Chose Beige as it matches my skintone best.

Hose Review - Propeds Elegant All Sheer Support Pantyhose

Another pair of pantyhose up for review.

This pantyhose comes  in a single pair pack.

Considering its price that doubles that of the Support model, the quality has to be good, so remember to bring your own spare.

Waistband
Slightly wider than the Support counterpart, the waistband holds on to the body snugly.

Material
The yarn feels more elastic with a better fit, hence it grips the skin better.  Despite being 20 denier, it does feel thicker, probably due to the finer weaving.  Also, it features matt look as compared to the Support counterpart, hence it goes well if you do not want the legs to look too glossy. 

Panty
This pantyhose is Sheer to Waist, hence works well to go with short bottoms wear to avoid awkward panty seam joint at the thigh area.

Foot
This comes with a sandaltoe so it works perfect with sandals or open toe shoes.  However, do take measure to keep toenails or shoes smooth to prevent runs.

Support strength is still graded as moderate and is just right for me.  However, it does feel more firm due to the construction of the yarn.

It comes in various attractive tones to enhance the legs when worn so it will be just right for everyday wearing.

Comfort: 8/10
Durability: 7/10 (estimated wear count: TBA)
Fit: 8/10

Conclusion
By comfort level, this is one of the pantyhose suitable for daily wear.  Chose Beige as it matches my skintone best.

Hose Checkpoint

A time of review after couple of outdoor hosed experiences:

The Nude tone of my current favourite Propeds Elegant Sheers Support pantyhose appears to be paler against my skin tone, under white light than when I sampled it at a store (although it looked pretty close to my skintone).  This article is useful in choosing the right shade

http://m.wikihow.com/Choose-Color-Stockings-or-Tight

Looks like it's time to select a darker shade which will be closer to my skintone.  No doubt no one noticed my hosed legs, or that I know of, a darker shade will be much better since it'll be more natural yet enhancing.

I will be doing some pantyhose brands review soon so do keep reading.
