There are a lot of pantyhose out there that claim to be low rise but really aren't.  These definitely are low rise.  I love these hose and these have become my favorite.  I suspect I will get many many wears out of these hose.  I can't stand control top pantyhose or pantyhose in general that cut into my waste.  These pantyhose are so comfortable that I forget that I have them on.  I went to order more black but Amazon was out so I ordered more from uktights.com  Would definitely recommend these hose.
