Zocks Blue Opaque 80

Do you remember this photo?

me wearing beautiful blue opaques

Many years ago, that pair of blue opaques had lost its colour. This year, I managed to get a free Amazon gift card for volunteer work. So, I decided that this was a perfect opportunity to replace the blue pair. I searched around Amazon and found this.

I was going to do this earlier, but I forgot. :^(

They feel extremely soft and silky. I think that I got a great deal, and have no problems recommending them.

The only problem is that they have some wear and tear all ready. I think that it was because of the shoe being rough on the inside top of the toe box. I only wore them once, an intend to wear them again only on special occasions.

Thank you for reading!

Won Silver Grey Semi Opaques In @silkshosiery Contest

This is exciting. Frankly, winning any contest is exciting, but when we win hosiery, it is that much more exciting.

A while ago, Silks offered winners a pair of silver grey coloured semi opaques.

Unfortunately, I can tell you only very little about it, because this came in a generic package, which told us nothing. There is no size information, and no fibre content.

This is like another pair that they gave out, in that it has a smooth to waist panty portion. It has a cotton gusset, and no toe reinforcement.

Unfortunately, silver grey opaques are not popular enough for Silks to continue offering it. They do have some discontinued silver opaques in size A, though.

I have yet to put this pair on, but I can see that it is very soft, and I know that I will enjoy it. It will be a little more delicate than the other Silks opaques that I enjoy, because this is not as thick as those.

Thank you for reading!

Updated Gabriella Hipsters Hosiery Review

I added in 2 items to the review. I mentioned that it has a gusset, and that it is 20 denier.

Hosiery Review: Mondor

When I first saw this hosiery, I was a little bit unhappy, because I usually do not like patterned hosiery, and because the patterns appeared quite feminine. However, when I tried them on, I was pleasantly surprised about the smooth and silky inner surface. The rest of my post tells you why I recommend it for men under certain circumstances and for women under most circumstances. While I have your attention, be sure to see the last photo of the innovate gusset.

Frangi Pangi: Hosiery Review

As stated before, I received a sample of Frangi Pangi in fava size B. I am happy to report that it went well.

Unlike many hosiery reviews, I try take you into the package and past the promotional material, so that you get the actual information that you need to make a decision. I have included photos of the packaging and of the hosiery at various stages of the review. The rest of my post tells you all.

Secret Comfy Top [Waistband free] Hosiery Available At Safeway And Shoppers Drug Mart

I checked the local Safeway at 74 Ave & Scott Rd, in Surrey, and I also checked out the nearby Shoppers Drug Mart. It turns out that they both have Secret Comfy Top, but each store has different style numbers. For a while, I wondered if the manufacturer just changed the style number, the packaging, and the fabric, hoping to keep everything else the same. It turns out that I was wrong. Here are the details.

Safeway sells style #5530, only in black. They have sizes B, C, and D. The manufacturer does not make size A. The package that I have came from The Bay, if I recall correctly, and it shows the regular price was $8.95. I would need to check Safeway again, for an updated price. It contains 92% nylon, and 8% elastane.

Shoppers Drug Mart sells style #78123, also only in black, also in sizes B, C, and D. Again, the manufacturer does not make size A. Style #78123 costs $9.99. It contains 91% nylon, and 9% elastane.

The final bit of evidence is the UPC codes. My package of style #5530 black size C has its UPC code mostly covered, but it seems to be different than style #78123 black size C's UPC code.

I will get back to you on an updated price from Safeway.

Thank you for reading!

Tried Fleece Opaque Hosiery

Yesterday, when I went out to ship the hosiery, I tried on the fleece footless hosiery from Jessica.

I am really pleased with how snug they are. They almost feel like support hosiery.

They are extremely opaque. I do not think that I can see any skin at all.

They felt a little rough on the outside, but I think that that is only because they have not been washed. When I wear them after washing, I will let you know what happened.

Overall, I love them, because they offer so much confidence that I will stay warm.

The end. Thank you for reading!

Speaking About Hosiery As If It Were A Person

For the purposes of reviews, I will refer to a style of hosiery as if it were a person. I think that it would be weird, but useful. I would love some feedback on whether or not speaking about hosiery as a person is a good idea.

I want to review 2 pairs of hosiery from The Stylish Fox. Here is a list of 6 pairs that I considered.

I narrowed her entire range down to these 6 pairs, because of availability of colour-size combination. Because I am focusing on reviewing, I also based my choices on what men and hopefully women will most likely want to order. Read the remainder of my post to see what I chose and why.

Secret Luxury And Secret Opaques Might Be The Same

I wrote about Secret Luxury hosiery. For all of you Secret Luxury fans, I encourage you try buying Secret opaque hosiery. I think that they do not have a style name for their opaque hosiery.

While wearing them again, I realized that Secret Luxury really feels a lot like the other Secret opaques that I have. This is good news, because I could not find Secret Luxury anymore in stores or online. I suspect that Secret just rebranded the hosiery to help it to sell better.

Recommended Stores And Brands For Opaquest Hosiery In The Metro Vancouver Regional District

I am on the lookout for the opaquest hosiery on the market. Therefore, I created a page for what I think are the recommended brands and the recommended places to get them. Bear in mind, though, that I have not evaluated every single brand and style, so a missing brand does not necessarily mean that I do not recommend it.
