Berkshire Women's Silky in Control Tummy and Thigh Shaping Pantyhose with Toe

Let me start by saying that I've purchased several of these over the last year so I do like them. I found them to have great compression and be quite durable. I haven't had issues with premature runs or holes in the toe area. Some people complain that they are too tight and while I do think they may be a little difficult to put on initially they do adjust to your body within a few hours of wearing them and subsequent attempts to pull them up or down are a lot easier. If you're on the upper end of the weight range you can consider sizing up for a more comfortable fit but I personally think it's not needed especially if you're below the middle of the weight range. My main issue with them is that the compression band ends in the upper thigh area which has 2 negative consequences: 1) if you have any fat in the upper thigh area there is a high likelihood that the band will create a dent that will show though 2) the end of the band hits me in the worst possible area right in the middle of my inner thigh making my inner thighs look a lot lot bigger than they really are (I have very little inner thigh fat). Both of these issues would be resolved if the compression band was reaching the mid thigh instead of the upper thigh area as it would cover your entire inner thigh and would lead to a lower the likelihood of a dent since most women don't have as much fat in the mid thigh as in the upper thigh. If they had a version of this exact product with a band reaching mid thigh, it would honestly be the best compression pantyhose out there.

I ordered the wrong size of these, because, being new to Berkshire, I didn't realize there were several different size charts. In reality I am 5'3, 210lbs, not the 5'5-6' 130-175lbs I ordered! (I hope to get to that weight range this year, but doubt I will grow taller!). I had just glanced at the first size chart that came up, and ordered a 3-4. I didn't realize what I had done until I forced my body into these. I believe it is a testament to the hose that they did not tear during this process, and in fact I am wearing them for the second time today. Quite tight, of course, so I am getting super control! But I actually did get them over my tummy, and they stayed up all day with no roll-down. I have the Off black and they are very pretty - in fact sheer and silky. I'm going to try the 2/Plus as that is closer to my actual size, and I don't see this style in the larger sizes. Weird, since they are a control hose.

I am a believer. The feel of these on my legs is absolutely incredible. The control is perfect for me. And unlike certain other brands where they can run just by looking at them, these hold up to everyday wearing without any issues whatsoever.Of all the brands I have tried with a silky leg, these are the absolute best and have spoiled me for anything else.

I love these pantyhose. Thick and controlling. I only give 4 stars because the enforced toe is poorly designed and runs just as easily as an unenforced toe. They ran the first time I wore them (other brands don't do this for me). Both pairs I purchased did this.

Either these run just a tad small, or they are meant to fit very snug. I was so happy with the overall look that I decided to order more, just in a larger size, problem solved. So far, no snags or runs. They wear well, wash well, and look good. Definitely going to be buying more.

These fit well and are very pretty on. I would've given 5 stars but these really aren't control top. They do come up to your bra so you have smooth lines but they don't hold anything in. I had some issues with them rolling down in back too.

These were perfect...not too long, not too short, not too small. The size chart was very accurate.

very strong control top, if that's what you're looking for.

Très bien mais un peu trop serré

je suis satisfaite du produit
