Janey's Sorta-Secret Crossdressing Blog: Hosiery Review: Noosh Play Sheer Tights

After a very long hiatus, I have returned with another hosiery review!

Today, I'm reviewing the "Play Sheer" tights from Noosh, in the shade "Dulce."

First Impressions

Right out of the shipping envelope, I was immediately impressed with the packaging of these tights. Not overly elaborate, but not "drug store" minimalist, either. Just a nice, clean, unassuming little bag, with "Noosh" printed on it, along with a "House of Tights" card, with a QR code on the back of it. The QR code led me to Noosh's website, with an offer of 20% off site-wide. Depending upon how the rest of this review goes, I may take advantage of that.

When I took the tights out of the package, I was struck by a couple things. First, the pigmentation of these nylons is gorgeous. The color is rich and even, and before I ever considered putting them on my legs, I was very pleased with how smooth they looked. The second thing that caught my eye was the waistband. It seemed HUGE as I held the tights in my hands.

Trying On

These tights were thicker than I anticipated, but I didn't mind. When your legs have been through what mine have over the years, thicker pantyhose equate to better coverage, and better concealment of all the little flaws.

The toes are reinforced, which I love. Not only do reinforced toes protect your nylons from being punctured by your toenails (I haven't had a pedi in over a month), they just look sexy as hell, especially with a couple toe rings peeking out from under them.

The tights were, well, tight, when I was pulling them on. I was worried that they would be too tight to fit correctly on my thighs. I was very pleased to find that they weren't too tight, and they slid over my thighs like they were tailor made just for me.

The waistband...oh, that glorious waistband! What I thought seemed excessive (4" waistband) is absolutely PERFECT. The waistband comes up to just above my navel, and has stayed in place as if by magic (so far).

The Fit

What can I say about the fit? It's perfect. I feel like these tights were made to fit me perfectly. There is no sagging in the crotch or the ankles, and after a few minutes, I honestly forgot I was wearing nylons at all. They fit like a second skin, comfortable and breathable.

The Finish

With so many pantyhose, especially the cheaper brands, it seems like they come out of the package with snags, lines, mottled color or just plain ugly finish.

These tights are the opposite. The color distribution is flawless. There isn't a snag or a line to be found. Were it not for the difference between the tights and my natural skintone (which is more fair), you'd have trouble noticing that I'm wearing them at all. 10/10.

Stress Test

I wore the Noosh tights for a solid 24 hours, with a dress and heels, under jeans with sneakers, and even slept in them.

Before taking them off, I took a good look at them, searching for flaws, snags, rips, runs, or any sign that they had been worn at all.

I have to say that they looked as good when I took them off as they did when I put them on, which is to say that they passed the stress test with flying colors. I put them through their paces, and these tights just smiled and asked for more.

Final Thoughts

I paid $32 for this pair of Noosh tights. With the exception of Wolford, I never would have dreamed to pay so much for a single pair of nylons before. Why spend $32 on a single pair of tights when you can get 2 pair of Sheer Energy pantyhose from Walmart for $10? The answer is simple: you get what you pay for.

Don't get me wrong. I've worn Sheer Energy before, and I'm very fond of them, but they can be constricting and overly thick, often bunching up behind my knees (which drives me crazy).

The Noosh Play Sheer tights are strong, resilient, beautiful and, if I'm being 100% honest, the most comfortable pantyhose I've worn in a very long time. They fit my body like they were made just for me. They're like a layer of polish on my legs, hiding flaws and evening out my skintone. They're soft, smooth and very comfy, and they look perfect with a pair of 3" heels (see photos).

If you have the means, I heartily endorse giving Noosh tights a try. You can buy them here (Amazon link - I earn a commission), or http://www.getnoosh.com (I don't earn a commission here).

Thanks for reading my review! I hope you now have a better impression of these fabulous tights!
