Spandex sheer tattoo pantyhose - pantyhose discontinued by Leg Avenue - review by Jul!a

The packaging wasn't anything spectacular. These came wrapped around some pink striped cardboard in a plastic bag. Picture of a model on the front and back, along with sizing, material, and care information. These are a one size item that to Leg Avenue means between 90-160 pounds. They're also 85% Nylon and 15% Spandex, although I'm not sure what the decal is made of. The care instructions say to hand wash in warm water and drip dry which I would agree with for maximum decal life.

These are pantyhose, similar to many that you might find in regular stores, only these feature a tattoo printed right onto the leg. The legs of these are designed to be completely sheer and virtually impossible to detect when being worn. Darker skin might have more of a problem with them being completely invisible, but even with decently tanned skin, you should still have these be pretty hard to see. The top portion looks similar to a control top and is about 7" from the crotch to the top. The decal is about 4" tall when it's completely flat, but stretches out a bit more. Everything is pretty stretchy and should fit the sizing guidelines, which according to Leg Avenue for their one size products is a waist of 23-29" and hips of 34-40". The upper end might be a little tight though.

The very first time I touched these I was impressed with how they felt. They feel like the thick sturdy nylon that's going to take a lot to destroy and for the most part I was right. I have some pulls in random spots (like runs, but horizontal), but they haven't done more than just appear really. I did end up snagging these and causing a run because of a chip in my nail polish, but the run only went a few inches and then just stopped. With tugging it's gotten bigger, especially past the reinforced toe, but I do feel confident about getting a few more wears out of them. I'm about 33" from my heel to the top of my hips and I do think that somebody with longer legs than me could wear these easily. Around the top of my hips is about 34" and around my butt is about 37" and these were comfortably tight on me.

If you like to dress up in the Rockabilly clothing style at all, these would be a great touch to any outfit. On me they were indeed virtually invisible and the decal showed up bright like a real tattoo would. What impressed me even more was that over my real tattoos, this didn't look silly, they just looked a little dry.

I admit, it was probably a little ridiculous to try and wear these out when the tattoo on the leg of these literally overlaps with tattoos I already have, but I still thought they were cute anyway. They were comfortably tight the whole night, letting me know they were there without strangling my legs at all. I also admit that I might not buy these specific ones again for the tattoo, but if I could find pantyhose that just felt like these, I would buy them in a plethora of different colors.
