A little backstory for you. I purchased these on 2nd April 2021, and have kept them waiting ever since. I have been meaning to review these in forever, and I just about did last year until I had the great notion of wanting to do a video on testing them out with different objects. This delayed me in reviewing them EVEN further!
Now here we are, 3 years later and ready to try these babies out. I wanted to get them reviewed here on the blog first after a day’s wear before I get them off and have fun with them in a Youtube Video… Scroll down the blog to see this!
So let’s go and get these babies reviewed!

I just wanna say this was taken off their website at the time of purchase, so their description might have changed since then!
The Packaging
Getting Them On: so getting these out the packaging and on the legs, is something. These do have a slight compression-feel to them, which I am not hating. I did my scrunch and roll, and got them on with ease. I did take care going over my anklets, but then realised that I can be as rough as I wanna as these are supposed to be rip-resistant – so I just tugged them on and gave them a good pull about!
On The Legs: okay I have a lot to say here, so let me start with the denier. I do find 30 denier to be quite dark, but once again I am not hating as I purchased these and forgot how dark they can be. Next time, I am going lighter!
Quality – okay I have TOO MUCH to say about this here. What I will start with is that I did manage to get a snag in them during the day, where I believe my nail caught onto them and gave a little snag. Luckily there was no other damage whilst they were on me. I will say I did not like the rings around my legs one bit; they were everywhere and so prominent too! For a pair that you are paying top money for, I expect a smooth finish with no rings spiralling my legs.
I will let my YouTube Video do the rest of the talking for me in this section.
The fit of these were true to size, and I didn’t feel the need to size up or down, which is a bonus. I had no gapping either, which is always a bonus! I did find that I didn’t get even leg coverage with these; you can see in some parts that my knees are much darker than the rest of my legs. I tried to tug these up/down, rolled them down and then back up – nothing worked for me. They kept showing up patchy so I just left it.
The feel of these are ok; they aren’t a smooth finish on the legs and caressing your skin here. They’re here to do a job, and that’s it. I didn’t like the roughness they had to them, but that’s just me. I didn’t get that gliding finish you can get with smoother pairs – never mind again. They are an OK pair let’s say.

The Toes & Ankle: so the toes come with reinforcement which I am super happy about! As you can see below, these come with a nice amount of stretch to them, so my toes don’t feel cramped or under pressure.
Around the feet and ankles, I did experience some wrinkling, as the denier is quite thick and tough, so it does bunch up slightly here – well it did for me anyways.
The Waistband & Gusset: so these have a great waistband to them, and one that resembles a seamless one with the way it looks and sits. I had seams back and front, which didn’t cause me any issues to be fair. I do like they have their logo within the tights, which is a nice finishing touch too.
These do sit just above my belly button, which is quite high, but I like that they don’t roll down or shimmy anywhere.
