Is anyone else looking for a replacement?
Years ago someone on this site suggested Berkshire size 2+ for me. It’s between sizes 2-3. It was perfect for my figure.
They are discontinued 😕.
I liked the control top and the fact that I was able to pull the tights right over my stomach to hide the bulge. Anything else I’ve tried rolls down. This really worked for me.
I tried memoi - they also have an in between size. The size is good but the control top is not as strong as Berkshire.
If anyone has any suggestions I would really appreciate it!!

I also had the Berkshire and really miss them. Perfect amount of support and not too thick yet not too thin. Oh well. The closest I found in look was either elledue 60 or sireco 40. I didn't find any tights that had that perfect balance of support. I tried many many companies...

In general the quality of Berkshire went down tremendously.
The hosiery store by me stopped selling it they said they redid the material and it rips immediately. I noticed last year they were ripping much faster but figured it’s a fluke. She said they are horrible now.

Yes, I have that. It fits great, like Berkshire 2+ but it doesn’t have the control top I need. I think I’ll have to go back to the expensive levante I used to wear. The control top was good but it didn’t hide my muffin top.

How does elledue or sireco compare to Berkshire control top? Is it stronger than memoi?

I agree. The memoi isn’t fitting me right and is sweatier. I really liked the Berkshire brand. But last year saw they didn’t even last one wear.
