Pantyhose Review - Solidea Wonder Model 30den/70den

Solidea Wonder Model 30den and 70den


These are support pantyhoses with shaping/control tops. I must say that these are probably the best support control top pantyhoses that I have tried. They are smooth and soft, unlike some of the compression pantyhoses where the legs are made of honeycombed pattern or legs have a very rough texture. The legs of these pantyhoses are like any other sheer pantyhose - smooth and with a little shine in them. They also glide very well under pants.

The 30den version is a extra mild compression pantyhose, with 9mmHG compression level.

Great for any occasion, stylish control top pantyhose instantly flatter the figure. Remarkably comfortable, built-in shaping panty has a slimming effect on the tummy, hips and thighs. And support in back gives bottoms an extra boost. Sheer legs with extra mild graduated compression keep wearers feeling as good as they look. These have reinforced toes

The 70den sheer version is a mild compression pantyhose, with 12/15mmHG compression level. It is similar to the 30den in the control top style, and has additional Anti-stress sole that massages feet throughout the day.

The Solidea Wonder Model pantyhoses also comes in extra firm compression 140den opaque version. It has compression levels of 18/21 mmHG.

My personal verdict: Best compression pantyhoses I have worn so far.

Opaque pantyhose - is it opaque enough?

Opaque pantyhose do come in various thickness eg, 40den or even as thick as 150den. There are also semi-opaque pantyhoses, which are a little sheer when stretched over your legs but not as sheer as sheer pantyhoses. I guess even opaque pantyhoses can also appear to be only semi-opaque when stretched over the legs, esp. when you are of taller build.

Here's what I do to attain a more opaque look with my opaque pantyhoses. I would normally wear a pair of black sheer pantyhose first, then I will wear the black opaque pantyhose over it. True enough, the opaque pantyhose appears to be more opaque. Now I do not have to go hunting for thicker opaque pantyhoses to get a really opaque look on the legs. Just layer them to achieve the required opaque-ness. It works for me.

Of course, the pantyhoses will feel tighter on the legs due to the double layer of pantyhose worn. In colder weather, this method of layering also provides more warmth to the legs.

Return of the black tights/opaque pantyhose

Black tights/opaque pantyhose is a way to add a little drama or a chic touch to any outfit. Black is a flattering colour and whatever goes over them, be it a dress or skirt or shorts. A clean, classic look is always in season.

5 reasons to keep wearing black tights/opaque pantyhoses this winter:

Transformation: They make a spring dress in a lighter fabric fit in with your winter wardrobe.


Great lengths: They elongate a leg and make for a more toned look. Black has always been able to make legs look slimmer and longer. A pair of shiny black opaque pantyhose/tights will also make legs look slimmer and highlights the shape of your legs.


Keeps you warm: While they coordinate nicely with wool dresses and skirts. Not only do they keep you warm, they also helps your wool clothings glide better against your pantyhosed legs. Forget about wearing those bulky long johns. Tights/opaque pantyhoses are far more comfortable than long johns.


One style fits all: It suits all body types and personal styles. Tights/opaque pantyhoses are much lighter and not as bulky as long johns. Tights also provide extra protect against the cold when worn with pants. Furthermore, pants also glide better over the tights/opaque pantyhose.


Adding options: Wearing the same pants over and over again? Opaque tights allow you to show some skin, without really doing it.

Happy wearing your tights/opaque pantyhoses and wear with confidence too.

Pantyhose Review - Levante Body Profile



This is a Satin soft tight with longline slimmer brief in 30 Denier appearance. The hose feels very soft to the touch when taken out from the packaging.

This collection contours and tones the body whilst providing genuine support where it is most needed. The slimmer brief effective reduced the waist by up to 1 inch. The hips and butt also looked and feel firmer in this pantyhose. I must also say that the butt is also lifted and rounder when wearing the hose.

The legs are smooth and has graduated compression to help keep legs from feeling tired. Toes are reinforced for better durability.



I have tried these before and they are one of my favourites.

Sizing is quite accurate, based on the size chart.

Pantyhose Review - Ambra Killer Figure Hour Glass


This pantyhose features a waistband free control top. The good thing about it being waistband free is that you can place the top of the hose at any position around your waist, even around your hip.
It flattens the tummy and defines your waist as well. At first the control looks not as firm, but it really works ... took 1 inch off the waist ( I actually measured my waist before and after wearing this pantyhose).
It also smooths the hips and tones the thighs a little. However, the leg does not feature any leg support. Just a very sheer leg.
At 15den, it is quite delicate and great care is needed to put them on without putting a hole/run in the leg of the hose.
Sizing is quite accurate according to the size chart. It can be purchased via the following URL: http://singapore.zodee.com/hosiery/ambra/killer-figure/killer-figure-hourglass/?categoryid=1145
