Is it better than esatto?

It's a bigger size than esatto. I outgrew Q1.
They're nice and stretchy like esatto, but thinner denier, so I don't know how long they'll last.
Edit: It's $30 for 6 pairs, so exactly like esatto.

Do they have the same thing in a thicker denier? I would love a pretty color in a thicker denier

I don't think so. But so far, I've been pleasantly surprised that they haven't ripped yet. They are very stretchy, so they're easy to pull on without ripping and they don't rip from tension.

Thanks- I was wondering how the control top compared-

They actually don't have any control top. I was a little surprised, but I guess I'll just have to look fat for tights that I can actually pull up Very Happy

I am wearing the amazon stockings today. A few things:
Buy the right size. I got 1-2x, as well as 3-4x (as that was my size in berkshire tights) but it runs according to your clothes size.
They are 20 denier-they may rip more.
The suntan color is gorgeous. It's like Berkshire natural tan or esatto honey.
They do not have a control top-that really surprised me.

The Amazon one from bisque?

I saw the name of this thread and I was like "YES!!!! We can!!! Just find the right ones!" lol. Lots of great ideas on this thread. I've never tried the biker shorts thing.

I get a different type from amazon that I've been so happy with:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/prod.....55101

Super stretchy and soft, easy to put on, and no uncomfortable rashes on my thighs.

There is a mild control top. Meaning, it's not super tight, but tight control top never worked for me with other brands because then I'd have a bulge on top of where the stockings ended. This one has mild compression and it pulls all the way up to under my bra and just smooths everything out. So tops do fit nicer.

I'm 5 foot and 220 lb but weight is concentrated around my hips/lower tummy. I get xx large, but could probably get away with x-large. And I wear them comfortably through pregnancy/maternity also- it just stretches right over.

I am a size 2x in clothing and I wear melas Queen2 in honey - the purple package. I also wear shorts over them when it’s very hot and it’s a game changer. Here’s the link-
