So, we put em to the test.

What are Sheertex tights?

As mentioned, Sheertex tights are rip-resistant hosiery that hold up better than your average stockings.

The results are promising.

According to the Sheertex website, the materials are way tougher than competitor and drugstore hosiery.

Again, it all seems promising.

But weve all fell for too-good-to-be-true products that dont live up the hype.

Find their full reviews, below.

Unlike my usual tights, Im able to slip these on without breaking a sweat.

The Large fits perfectly and gives me free range of movement, which I appreciate.

They even survived my 50-pound dogs excited jumps, which I was hoping for but frankly wasnt expecting.

I love the subtle sexiness of the seam detail in the back, too.

But to my surprise, they were incredibly comfortable and easy to slip over my thick thighs.

The fabric is both stretchy and slightly compressive, so it does a good job of shaping your body.

I could easily move around in them without feeling tightness around my legs.

Honestly, I never felt sexier.

Alas, no rips or tears.

Now for the not-so-good: Plus-size shoppers, beware.

Im 59 and wear a size 18 pant.

According to Sheertex, size = weight, not pant size (huh???

), so according to them, I should be more than comfortable in a 2XL.

These tights fit, but not without a little struggle.

The band is tight, too; While sitting, it dug into my waist uncomfortably.

Major takeaways: beautiful design, quality materials, but major flaws in sizing.

Otherwise, throw those ratty tights away and invest in theseyou wont be sorry.
