Review: Hanes Perfect Nudes Pantyhose

In my last post, I teased a review of my absolute favorite ultra-sheer pantyhose, Hanes Perfect Nudes. So here we are, ladies and girls!

Hanes Perfect Nudes

Most people in the USA are familiar with the Hanes brand. They've been selling pantyhose here for longer than I've been alive. In the time that I've been wearing (and buying) pantyhose, I've found their offerings to be quite good, if a little on the pricy side.

The Basics

At $10 a pair (a package deal Kohl's offers when buying 3 pair), Perfect Nudes are on the higher end of department store pantyhose brands. Having said that, they are what they claim to be. They're very sheer, very soft and moisture-wicking, which means no sweaty legs even when it's really hot outside.

Fit

Standing 5'7" tall and weighing in at a svelte 190 lbs, I usually fall right on the borderline of most pantyhose sizes, but that's not the case with the Perfect Nudes. Their size "1X/2X" fits me just right. They're not too tight and they're not always falling down. They fit so well, in fact, that a few minutes after putting them on, I completely forget I'm wearing them. That is of course assuming I don't rip multiple holes in them in the process of putting them on (the pair I'm wearing now has 3 holes in it because I rushed to put them on and didn't cover the rough skin on my hands beforehand).

It's safe to say that the Perfect Nudes run true to size

Finish

What can I say about the finish on these pantyhose other than it's absolutely perfect? They have a very nice matte finish and the color distribution is flawless. If you buy them in a shade close to your own skin tone, they practically disappear on your legs. The first time I wore them in front of Larissa, she didn't realize I was wearing pantyhose until I pinched them and pulled them away from my skin to show her. The shade "transparent" is as close to invisible on my legs as any hosiery I've ever worn. Of course, in the summer, my legs are darker, so the next darker shade ("buff") would probably look better.

Observations

As I mentioned above, these are EXTREMELY delicate pantyhose. They will rip and run (ladder for those not in the USA) if you even look at them sideways. Seriously!

All I did was put these ultra-delicate pantyhose on my legs, as I've done with hundreds of pair of pantyhose in the past, and this happened (there are 2 more holes, but decency prohibits me from sharing photos of them). I'll call it a $10 lesson in taking my time and preparing properly.

Also, Perfect Nudes are, without a question or doubt, the softest pantyhose I've ever worn. I'll wear this pair to bed several times before they're too shredded to wear anymore, and I'll sleep like a baby in them!

Conclusion

Overall, I really love these pantyhose. They're super soft and super comfortable, and they look absolutely wonderful on my legs. If you can (unlike me) show some restraint and handle them very delicately, I whole-heartedly recommend buying them (Link). If you buy them, I recommend buying 3 pair at a time from Kohl's, bringing the price down to $10 per pair, about half of what you'd pay for them on Amazon.
