Alive Women's Full Support, Control Top, Reinforced Toe Pantyhose

Great product --kept my legs firm. Good quality = lasted for a long time.

As described. Fit was true.

I'm a man in my late 30's with varicose veins in both my calves and starting in my inner thighs. I recently started looking at support hosiery, and I can't bring myself to paying for medical hosiery! When I first tried these, I ordered them in size "D" thinking as a man I'd need the larger size. When I tried them on, the support was great, but they were SUPER tight, especially at the knee. Then I took a closer look to the size chart on Hanes' site, and realized the "E" or "E/F" is sized for shorter women with larger legs, so I gave it a second chance (I'm 5'7" 170lbs and dropping!), and now Hanes E or E/F is just about perfect! I'm an instructor, and many days I spend 6-8 hours on my feet teaching, the difference while wearing these is absolutely amazing! And I won't lie, the are comfortable, and I have found many advantages! For one, no chaffing of the inner thigh! And there is the added warmth this time of year! In just the short few weeks of wearing these, I've notice my varicose veins have subsided considerably, and I would be happy if they just don't get any worse. These also seem VERY durable, yet still have a decent sheer feel to them. I've bumped into the rough edges of several objects with not damage to the hose!

The right price, sizing is spot on and they've been quite durable with multiple wears and washes. But, the band rolls and legs tend to sag a bit throughout the day which is why I'm giving these 4/5 stars.

Love hanes alive! I wore these when working in nursing field. They are light but give you the support your legs need if you have a long day. I cut the feet out when I don't want my feet covered, and wear underneath pants for a smooth look and great control.

These are terrible. Definitely not hanes. The leg part has no flexibility at all and the top waist is way too loose. Women’s hosiery used to be made so much better. Will be returning and going back to buying in department stores only.

Disappointingly thick and not sure at all. Was unable to use a brand that I have used for years.

As a healthcare professional I am on my feet all day & frequently standing. The higher spandex in the legs of Hanes Alive works great as a mild type of full leg compression stocking. It’s not graduated compression as it runs the same amount of spandex the full length of the leg, but it sure works to help with swelling & muscle fatigue on those 12 hour shifts. I can definitely tell a difference if I do not wear them to work even on 8 hour shifts. The higher spandex content makes them thicker and thus prevents a true “sheer” effect but by no means do they look like old lady compression hose and they are certainly less opaque than a pair of tights. They are fairly easy to get on- I put them on just like regular panty hose, just need a tad more effort pulling them upward thanks to the spandex. Measuring in at 5’4”, I am not tall, but my 135 pounds runs more to my hips/thighs so I wear a size C. I’ve worn the B but notice they tend to creep down as the day goes on and I have less of an issue with this in the larger size. No extra baggage in the lower leg with the larger size either. I wash in separate laundry bag with my other regular laundry and hang them to dry. Never had an issue with runs or holes doing this. I’ve worn these hose (not the same pair) for at least the last 15 years and they last for quite some time. I replace them as the spandex compression factor wears out, usually get half a dozen pairs and replace every 6 months working full time. Much cheaper than medical support hose and I can usually still wear them to church as they are still in good shape just have lost a little compression in the legs. If you are looking for a true thin sheer pair of hose, these are not for you. They have a good range of colors to choose from to match different flesh tones plus navy & black. I wholeheartedly endorse Hanes Alive if you are looking for something a bit “more” in your pantyhose. I’ve worn control top and regular, sheer & reinforced toe. I’ve had no real issues with any of them but tend lean toward control top (to keep the compression factor support going) and reinforced toe since I wear them with socks & regular shoes much of the time and walk a lot. Hope this review helps folks make the right choice and that if they do buy them, they work as well for them as they do me.

I wear nylons for everyday and I have to wear them when performing in musical theatre shows. These held up so well! I was able to wear one pair for 6 shows and two dress rehearsals (hand washed inbetween shows of course). Not a pull or run to be found!
