Product Insights
Silks Graded Compression Pantyhose 40 Denier offers affordable graduated compression (15–20 mmHg) for leg fatigue and travel at one-sixth the cost of Wolford and half of Silvia Grandi, with a semi-transparent 40 denier knit that hides flaws while showing natural leg tone and an opaque panty for light support without a constricting control top. The 17% elastane prevents bagging, but achieving the correct fit requires morning ankle and calf measurement, and upper-limit buyers may find the fit snug, with popular sizes often selling out quickly.
Verified claims
- Price comparison
- At $13 CAD, it costs one-sixth of Wolford and half of Silvia Grandi.
- Compression
- Graduated compression (15–20 mmHg) without a tight control top.
- Aesthetic
- Semi-transparent 40 denier knit provides a polished look with support.
- Opacity
- Panty's 85/15 knit is opaque; leg's 83/17 stays semi-transparent at 40 denier.
- Control top
- The control top provides moderate tummy control without the tight, constricting band typical of compression hosiery.
- Shape recovery
- 17% elastane in leg prevents bagging and maintains fit.
- Measurement protocol
- Measure ankle and calf in the morning for correct compression fit.
- Size fit
- Upper-limit buyers find the fit snug; popular sizes sell out frequently.
- Support level
- Everyday light-to-medium support (15-20 mmHg), designed for leg fatigue and travel, not medical-grade therapy.
- Material
- 15-17% elastane and 83-85% nylon reduce bagging and snag risk.
- Coverage
- 40 denier semi-transparent knit hides flaws while showing natural leg tone.
- Seasonal versatility
- 40 denier weight provides warmth for cool mornings yet stays breathable indoors.
- Comfort support
- Buyers praise light support without a tight control top.
- Compression gradient
- The compression is tightest at the ankle and decreases up the leg to help veins return blood.
- Control top seam
- The control top is seamless and should not show a visible panty line under clothing.
- Washing and drying
- Hand wash in cold water; do not bleach, wring, or machine wash; hang to dry to preserve compression and prevent runs.
- Ease of donning
- Buyers with hand arthritis report these are considerably easier to put on than medical-grade compression stockings.
- Toe reinforcement
- The panty and toes are reinforced for longer wear.

Everyday medium support for long days of sitting
These 40 denier semi-transparent pantyhose are designed with medium support for everyday comfort. Reviewers report the light compression and lack of a tight control top help them stay comfortable during long sitting periods, such as all-day office wear — a contrast they note with compression hose that feel too constricting.[1]
Everyday wear with a circulation-minded touch
These semi-transparent 40 denier pantyhose are a graded compression style the merchant describes as helping improve circulation, with a control top and medium support meant for everyday comfort. A natural pick when you want the look of sheer tights while wearing something designed with circulation in mind — though the benefit itself is the brand's claim, not a verified result.[1,2]
Everyday compression support with a sheer look
Reviewers with circulation issues report these pantyhose provide sufficient support for medical compression therapy, according to an analysis of customer reviews. They are described as remaining semi-transparent while offering compression, so they can work like regular sheer hosiery. As this comes from review analysis rather than verified accounts, individual experiences may vary.[1]
Polished, natural-looking coverage for professional or dressy outfits
Wear these semi-transparent 40 denier pantyhose when you want leg coverage that still looks natural — reviewers describe them as giving a professional, polished appearance with subtle color options. They cover from waist to toes, including the feet, with a reinforced panty area at the hips. Note that these points come from an analysis of customer reviews, so individual experiences may vary.[1,2,3]
A hosiery staple reviewers say holds up to frequent wear
Customers looking for pantyhose that can handle regular rotation may appreciate these 40 denier semi-transparent tights. Multiple wearers report they outlast comparable brands, and several say they've stuck with the same brand for years. This durability is based on customer reviews analyzed by a third party and reflects reported experiences rather than a guarantee.[1]
Plus-size compression wear when queen sizes are hard to find
Queen-size availability makes these graded compression pantyhose a go-to for plus-size wearers, per a reviews analysis. The printed size chart extends to size E, listed for heights of 5 feet 7 inches to 6 feet 1 inch and weights of 175 to 220 pounds. Fit is mixed, though: wearers at the upper end of the size chart report a snug fit, and one reviewer wished for a larger Q-2 size, which is not offered.[1,4]
Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Graded Compression Pantyhose 40 Denier - Semi-Transparent: Choose this if you want medium-support graded compression in a semi-transparent 40 denier style that stays comfortable for everyday wear, including long periods of sitting — the reviews analysis notes the light, non-constricting compression supports without a tight control top, and multiple reviewers report the pantyhose outlasting comparable brands. It comes in sizes SMALL through X-LARGE and four colors (Black, Hint-O-Black, Blush Poudre, Natural), but wearers at the upper end of the size chart may find the fit snug, and no Q-2 size is available.[1] | Run-Resistant Control-Top Pantyhose 20 Denier - Fine: Choose this if you want sheer 20 denier everyday pantyhose with an opaque, high-waist control top made from a satiny slimming control panty, plus a sandalfoot toe for open-shoe wear. The legs are a soft, stretchy nylon and spandex blend (73% nylon, 27% spandex), and Silks describes the sheers as run-resistant using LYCRA FUSION technology with ultra durable LYCRA XTRA LIFE fiber, though this durability positioning comes from the brand rather than reported customer experience. Sizes B, C, and D are offered in Black and Beige/Greige, so check the brand's height and weight chart (roughly 5 feet 1 inch to 5 feet 10 inches and 110 to 180 pounds across those sizes) for your fit.[5,6,7,8] | Unbreakable Pantyhose 20 Denier - Fine: Choose this if you want fine 20 denier sheer-to-waist pantyhose with a soft nylon and XTRALIFE Lycra blend, a cotton gusset, and a wide stretch waistband that hugs the silhouette. It comes in sizes A through D in Black or Beige/Greige, with a printed height and weight sizing chart on the packaging. Note that while the packaging presents a run-resistant claim, some customer reviews report tearing or runs on first use and sizing that runs small, which can increase tension when putting them on.[9,10,11] |

Très bien
O. k.
Le bas diaphane à compression graduelle
Je le recommande fortement et c'est un bas très durable. . .
Great quality compression stockings @ reasonable price%!
These give an adequate 17% Lycra elastic compression for my varicose veins. They give just the right amount of pressure and are relatively easy to put on. I like the reinforcement of the toe area, which will contribute to a longer lasting product. I needed Q QUEEN SIZE which is the largest size they come in. I wear a pant size 14/16. They fit well, except around the upper abdomen/waist area they are too tight, so I stretched them out over a chair over several hours & that helped loosen them up so I could wear them more comfortably. WISH: IDEALLY - wish they made them in Q-2 as next size up, but I can manage to wear these with stretching them out.
Awesome
Perfect exactly the pantyhose I love and the colour I love
Panty Hose 'Energizer's
Yes, the compression panty hose by Energizers are exactly as described. Energizers seem to outlast the others that I have bought in the past.
Really great compression panyhose
I recently suffered from a blood clot and needed to wear some form of compression stockings. Unfortunately I also have Arthritis in my hands, so find that the medical grade are impossible for me to put on. These are considerably easier and look good!
Fabulous Pantyhose
These pantyhose are extremely comfortable. They have light support but without a tight control top that most compression nylons have. The panty and toes are reinforced and the waistband is very nice.
Like graded pantyhose--difficult to get

Energizers graded compression pantyhose
I take XXL ( Queensize) energizers compression pantyhose particularly in hint of black and blush. This item is hard to find and I hope you continue to carry it. It is the only comfortable panty hose i can find. I was so happy to find it on the simon's site -but now you are out of them . I hope you will reorder this item and continue to carry it in all sizes and in the largest size ie: XXL or queen's. I paricularly need the hint of black and blush shades
