Supermarket tights
by Geraden
Not usually a great fan of supermarket tights, I bought this packet of Sainsbury's Medium Support the other day, size XL, colour nude.
They are 20 denier appearance, support factor 8 with reinforced panty and toes. The legs are boarded and there is a cotton lined gusset. The lycra content is 12%. When I put them on, the colour is lighter than it appears on the model in the packet image.
Comparing these with the equivalent Marks and Spencer's tights, these are slightly less silky, but they compare favourably on price (£3.50 as against £5.00). They fit very well, even on my long legs, and altogether they are not a bad pair of tights.

There is something to be said about inexpensive "supermarket" hoisery.
Over herein the US, I've found that you can buy a 4 pack of No Nonsense at
Wal Mart for less than $5. With a cost of a little more than a dollar, I
don't care much if I ruin a pair. Although the Comfilon 549's are my
favorites, I can by about 10 pair of the "Supermarket" brand and still be
less than one pair of Comflions. The fly, however, in the 549's makes it
worth it for me.
I agree, Sainsbury's tights don't seem bad at all. I haven't tried their
support tights but I did discover their Gloss tights this year, and have
probably worn them more than any other brand throughout the summer. They
are sold in packs of 3 for £5, and come in Nude or Natural Tan. Stretchy
and comfortable, they have a slight shine, but nothing too obvious - so
don't be put off by the 'Gloss' description.
How do you managed the stare at the the supermarket when buying any types
of hoses? What do you say to the cashier , if they asked, during paying the
mechandise?
When I buy tights, I am not doing something wrong or illegal. So I am
relaxed when paying for them. The supermarket wants my money. I have never
been asked why I am buying tights, but if I were asked who they were for I
would say they are for me.
I like these tights, but find ASDA's are generally better-sized out of the
supermarket tights.
