I waited a few weeks after my purchase to really give these 8 den pantyhose a true trial. After several wears I have made up my mind: these pantyhose are a must have as an addition to your hosiery collection . To start, these pantyhose match my skin tone well and yet have enough of a sheen to make my legs glow without looking obvious. These pantyhose are light and built for comfort on warm weather days as the brief/panty has double seam in the back allowing for them to stay in place without being tight in the waist. At first I was not thrilled with the texture out of the packaging, as I prefer soft and smooth hosiery. However, while they are not as soft as other reputable brands, these did not disappoint. Once on my legs I notice the material became softer. As far as durability, they hold up well for being 8 den: of course you can only expect so much the lower the den. Over all these are pantyhose deliver as described.
