Comfortable yet functional
Date:April 11, 2013
Pros: Style, Fit, Comfort
I sit a great deal at work in front of a computer, and my ankles swell. I purchased these to help lessen the swelling. They are easy to put on, especially after the first time and provide enough support to help ease the swelling. I always purchase the next size up according to the size/weight chart, and they fit just fine.

Pros: Style, Fit, Comfort
I bought three pair of these back in the fall and they fit better and were more comfortable than any I have purchased in years.
This was the reason I bought 12 pairs this time, every time I find something I really like, it seems to get replaced with something else so I bought enough to last awhile. I sure hope you keep having them for me to purchase.

Love this hardworking product
Date:October 16, 2012
Pros: Style, Fit, Comfort, durability, economical, no hassle store returns
Cons: inconsistent color availability, no suntan, not available in stores
I just recently found this product and decided to give it a try since my previous brand is no longer available in my size. After receiving my first order of 10, I had to return 2 pair due to manufacturing damage out of the package. I was not looking forward to opening the next 8 pairs but was very pleasantly surprised to find a durable and hardworking pair of hose. I was very happy to find these hold up quite well to all day long - EVERY day wear. I spend about 12 - 14 hours a day on my feet and these are a wonderful way to help with circulation and keeping a spring in my step. I came back to this site and have repeatedly ordered additional pairs. I will say that you have to order the correct size and 'stretch' them before wearing them the first time. This helps to prevent ladders and helps to prepare the material for the rigors of application. Once this is done the material stretches beautifully for a snug, comfortable fit. If you are close to the borderline in your size go for the next size up to ensure a proper fit and extended durability. The lycra will keep it's shape for you. I will emphasize these are a great product and I will continue to purchase them until that changes.

Love These Pantyhose!!
Date:July 6, 2012
Pros: Style, Comfort
Cons: pricey
Don't ever stop selling them! They are comfortable and long enough to allow extra room at the toes. Only problem - they are too expensive, but other than that they are great pantyhose. I buy them 2-3 at a time.

Poor value for the money-bad fit
Date:September 14, 2011
Cons: Fit, Style, Comfort, rips very easily
I have worn the light support hose from Catherines for many years. Now that the ones that I had grown to love has been replaced by this pitiful excuse for hose, I am afraid that I cannot recommend these to anyone. I ordered 6 pairs and returned 5 of them. Fit is too tight and they don't have the support of the previous ones. My suggestion is for Catherines to bring back the previous ones. They were great!

Light support hose redesign version...BAD mistake
Date:July 17, 2011
Cons: Fit, Style, Comfort, rip in crotch, not true to size/smaller
I've bought lots of pantyhose in the last 30 years as I wear them every day ...all day. When I found Catherines Light Support, my search was over. They provided excellent support in the panty and the leg. The panty was made very well with exceptional support without ripping while putting them on. I would buy them by the dozen and several of my friends as well.
Unfortunately I must give the "new" version of these hose a -0- rating. As many others on this have stated...I find where they are smaller in size. I had to go up a size and they still rip in the crotch. They are good for one wear and they rip. The panty is not as long/tall which affects us tall folks...constantly pulling on your pantyhose in the public...embarrasing to say the least.
This is the most dissappointing change and now Im on a mission to find a hose comparable to the "REAL" Catherine's pantyhose. Its kinda like Coca Cola...they had it right the first time and should have left it alone. Mrs. Catherine please consider bringing back the "real" light support!

From great to horrbile
Date:June 26, 2011
Pros: Comfort
Cons: Fit
Like the others, I found that the crotch splits in under a day. I cannot get a full days use out of them where I used to get 6 to 8 wearings. I feel that they are smaller too. They are softer and feel more luxurious, but they simply do not hold up.
I found that the Day Sheer last longer but do not off any support.
Bring back the original knit and trash these.

Review 12 for Light Support Pantyhose

From Fantastic to Flop
Date:June 14, 2011
Pros: Fit, color
Cons: quality, durability
Well I have purchased these hose for the last 5-6 years and have professed their quality and value on many other websites and forums. They offered my legs good support while traveling for work and while setting hours in the office. The color, comfort and fit have been excellent, until now.
I purchased 4 pair of the NEW version at a local Catherine's store, not knowing they had been redesigned, and found myself very disappointed. I went though all 4 pair in 3 days. The reinforced toes were not of the same size, toes failed on two pair, holes in the crotch area on another two. What surprised me was the hole that developed near the belly button at the seam. Yea that means I had 5 holes/runs on 4 pair within 3 days.
These hose went the full swing of the pendulum, from Fantastic to Flop in one revision. My overall experience went from 4 pairs lasting 4-6 wearings each, ~1 month, to 4 pairs lasting 3 days. That equates to a cost increase from $33 a month to ~$250, assuming I could get a day out of each pair. I simply cant afford this product any longer.
Catherine's if you don't revise this product you should discontinue it. It does not represent the quality and value we all have come to know and appreciate in your products.

Disappointed
Date:May 25, 2011
Wish I had taken heed to other reviews on this product. I purchased 4 pair and have thrown away 2 in as many days. The toes ran after a few hours of wear and the panty portion pulled apart even with ordering a larger size.

Why change?
Date:April 30, 2011
Cons: Fit, Comfort
I bought several of these "New and Improved" panty hose and was not impressed...in the past the fit and comfort was great, but now I can't wear them for long. The seam in the crotch splits easily and the waistband is very tight...I have worn the same size for quite a while and now I will have to try a larger size to see if that is tolerable....I wish you would return to the "old and comfortable" style.

Glad They're Back
Date:April 27, 2011
Pros: Fit, Comfort
Cons: no reinforced toe
I'm glad the support hose are back. I found that the support is more than light support and it was necessary to buy the next size larger. With the larger size they fit great. They don't run as easily. The larger size gives me a longer panty that I can pull up and give a little firmness and control to my "muffin top". I just wish the toes were reinforced to prevent my toes from sliding through.

Really comfortable
Date:March 2, 2011
Pros: Style, Fit, Comfort
These are the most comfortable pantyhose that I have ever worn. They stay in place, they don’t bind in the crotch and the waist band doesn’t roll down! I understand that big girls come in all shapes and sizes, but I am really surprised by some of the negative reviews that I see here. I have tried every brand of pantyhose that I could find and have not run across any that compare in overall comfort and durability. I have been able to get 4 – 6 wearings out of these, which is much better than some brands.
One downside that I found is that not all Catherines have them in the store. I know of one that stocks them and two that don’t. Guess I will have to buy online in the future.

Why the change?
Date:February 19, 2011
Cons: Fit, Style, Comfort
I have been wearing your light support hose for more years than I can remember because, over these many years, I have been satisfied. After waiting several months for you to once again sell the light support hose again, I ordered 6 pair and was extremely disappointed in the changes you've made. I've purchased the same size that I've purchased over the years and found that the panty does not come over my hips because of the new construction. There's very little 'give' in the thigh area and I'm generally disappointed with the purchase and will return them.
Kindly return to the former design, construction, etc. and re-gain many former customers that you've lost because of the changes you unnecessarily made. Thank you.

From good to bad!!!
Date:February 16, 2011
Pros: Style
Cons: Comfort, no support
I have purchased these panty hose exclusively from Catherines for years - I wear them every day. Last order I was very disappointed with them!!! Package stated "NEW satiny comfort panty" - Panty seems slightly smaller BUT the worst is the legs!! The material is more sheer (translates to thinner) and has vertually no elasticity - definately no 'support' in them. Hose 'sag' and get baggy around ankles-never did that before!! Toe is not reinforced just stitched at the toe line. Why change something that was GOOD??? Hope they listen to us- I see I am not the only disappointed customer about the quality change.

Not the same.
Date:February 11, 2011
Cons: Fit, Comfort, easy run, no reinfoced toe, not support quality
I have purchased these for about 20 years. In 2009 you 'ran out' of inventory. I finally found some when on vacation. Took almost 6 months for you to get back in stock Then, the last purchase says new and improved, but I disagree strongly. The waist cuts in - way too small, the top now rides at my bra vs waist. The hose are not light support quality, they run easily. The toe is represented as reinforced, but not found. I agree with a previous comment, will purchase only until find something else. You had such a good product. What happened?

Awesome Light Support Pantyhose
Date:January 20, 2011
Pros: Style, Fit, Comfort, sheen
Cons: need suntan as a shade and a reinforced toe
I am a married male crossdresser and wear pantyhose 365 days a year. I prefer to wear light support and full support pantyhose as they have a nicer sheen and are more durable. Of all of the Light Support pantyhose i have have tried, these are by far the best. The comfort is incredible as they are very soft and smooth yet very slippery feeling and glide well under pants as well as skirts or dresses. I'm wearing a pair with a dress today and even after being washed 5 times they still look great and are run and snag free.
