We can all agree that one of the sexiest, yet most notoriously short-lived, articles of clothing is the pantyhose. Taking off your pantyhose seductively during bedroom playtime, or throwing them to the side for a quickie can only be ruined by a handful of things – runs, tears, and rips. Thankfully, we’ve got you covered. Here’s a roundup of the most unrippable pantyhose on the market. Get it on with peace of mind!
What are unrippable pantyhose?
While the name might be pretty self-explanatory, the science behind it can be a little confusing. There’s no way that pantyhose can be 100% unrippable, so what’s the whole story? It varies from brand to brand, but a common thread is combining some type of yarn or cotton with a polymer, polyamide, or elastane.
For some brands, new heights have been reached when it comes to the technology employed to create long-lasting tights. For others, it’s been more of a refining of the science that’s already there. Regardless, these options will most definitely get you through any day, and night, that you have planned.
