Is it possible to love and hate a product at the same time? Let's start with the good part, I love the fishnet portion of these tights. The pattern is small and fades into your leg giving you a near naked look until you're right up on it. So far, I've had no problems and they have stood up to public transportation, hungry file cabinet drawers, and a happy dog leaping up to say hello. Now for the bad part, the panty portion of these developed a run that turned into a tear on the second wearing. I was already dressed and didn't have time to change so I just put a pair of regular Spanx on over the tear and that worked just fine. This is not the first pair of Spanx tights to have the panty portion tear on me. I'm on the lower end of the weight requirement for the size I'm purchasing so it's not like I'm trying to shove a sausage into a casing, and this is never a problem I have when I wear regular control top pantyhose. This is a specific Spanx issue that I seem to have. For this amount of money paid for these tights they need to be constructed better. If I can figure out that putting on a thicker material at the panty works why can't they?
