SPANX Footless Pantyhose Review: A Capri That Thinks It Is Hose

SPANX Footless Pantyhose Review: A Capri That Thinks It Is Hose

We already did a SPANX Power brief (no inseam) and SHAPERMINT shorts (mid-thigh). This SKU is the leg: nude high waist, opaque through the hip, sheerer from mid-thigh to mid-calf, open at the foot. Thirty-three dollars. Five thousand reviews. A 4.1. Amazon titles it pantyhose. SPANX’s own still calls it Core Higher Power Capri. Believe the still. It is not ankle hose. It is not a brief. It is the layer you put under trousers so a thigh does not print.

If you wanted a brief, Power Series. If you wanted mid-thigh only, SHAPERMINT. If you wanted a calf that disappears under a pant, stay. Size the hip like SPANX. The Size Guide is a starting rumor.

SPANX original high-waisted footless shaping pantyhose in nude, full length to mid-calf

The calf is the product. The foot is missing on purpose.

Open hem at mid-calf is how you wear shoes. Too short and you bought shorts that peek. Too long and a boot fights the hem. Size the hip. Between, up if you hate a roll at the rib. The rise still climbs under the bust. Cups that spill onto the waist are a bra problem. Nude is a beige. Match it or the capri is a headline at the knee.

A cotton-ish gusset is how you skip a second panty. That is the listing’s argument. Heat is how power net becomes a different size. Wash cold, hang. Never a dryer.

Their own name: capri. Amazon said pantyhose. The still is the honest length.

Vs the brief, vs SHAPERMINT, the 4.1

The brief is cheaper coverage of a waist. SHAPERMINT is cheaper coverage of a thigh. This is the $33 pant layer. The 4.1 is people who sized the chart and got a smooth calf, plus people who wanted ankle hose and wrote about a hem. Believe capri. It will be hot. That is the knit.

Who it's for

Trousers, a mid-calf, a waist you will size. Not a brief, not a $33 cotton panty, not hose you wear with sandals as fashion. Size the hip, hang the net, pick a nude that matches.

Pros

  • A real SPANX leg layer — not a mystery Amazon control short
  • Mid-calf that can disappear under a pant
  • Open foot so shoes still exist
  • 5,000 reviews is a chart matching more often than not
  • Distinct from the Power brief and from SHAPERMINT’s mid-thigh

Cons

  • Thirty-three dollars is two SHAPERMINTs
  • Amazon said pantyhose; the still is a capri
  • Beige nude is a beige
  • Heat and a dryer kill the power
  • Hot. That is the job
★★★★★★★★★★
3.8 / 5

A $33 SPANX footless capri. Size the hip, hang the net, and do not buy it as ankle hose or as a brief.
