Product Insights
The Silks Unbreakable Pantyhose 20 Denier ($12) promises durable XTRALIFE Lycra that resists chlorine, sunscreen, and heat, yet customer reviews report early tears within a few wears, resulting in a 1.7-star rating. It offers more coverage than ultra-sheer options and a wide waistband without shaping, but costs four times Silks’ basic 20-denier which shares similar run risk. While it outperforms basic tights and L'eggs, Sheertex provides stronger rip resistance at three times the price, making this product a tradeoff between upgraded material durability and actual longevity.
Verified claims
- Lifespan
- All three reviews describe tears or holes on the first wear.
- Value
- At $12, it costs four times more than Silks' basic 20-denier ($3), yet both share similar run risk.
- Durability
- Early runs contrast with Sheertex's guaranteed rip-resistance.
- Sheerness
- More coverage than ultra-sheer 8-denier at similar price.
- Fit and support
- Lacks control top; available in sizes A–E.
- Care
- Blot dry, moisturize before wear, and seal runs with clear polish to extend life.
- Material
- 70% nylon, 30% spandex with cotton gusset and XTRALIFE Lycra that resists chlorine/sunscreen/heat, unlike the $3 basic version.
- Fit and handling
- Choose correct size to prevent overstretching; wide waistband reduces adjustments that snag fabric.
- Waistband
- Wide stretch waistband holds securely without compression or shaping.
- XTRALIFE Lycra
- Resists chlorine, sunscreen, and heat, keeping elasticity longer for less sagging and runs.
- Competitive context
- More run-resistant than the $3 Silks basic and L'eggs alternatives, but Sheertex offers stronger rip resistance at 3–8x the price.
- Customer experience
- 1.7-star rating - buyers report runs and tears after a few wears.
- Shaping
- Purely sheer 20-denier with no shaping or compression.
- Positioning
- XTRALIFE Lycra upgrade ($12) over the basic $3 Silks style; Beautiful Plus ($11) targets curvy comfort.
- Fit style
- Non-compression sheer waistband, contrasted with Beautiful Plus's curvy comfort.

Sheer everyday leg coverage with a comfort fit
For days when you want a sheer, semi-transparent finish that shows your skin tone, these 20 denier pantyhose offer a smooth, matte look with coverage from sheer-to-waist, per the packaging. The soft nylon and XTRALIFE Lycra blend is designed for greater strength and comfort, with a wide stretch waistband that hugs the silhouette, and sizes A through E are matched to height and weight on the size chart. Note that while the packaging is labeled run resistant, a summary of customer reviews reports pantyhose that tore or laddered on the first wear, sometimes at the waist or while pulling them on, and one reviewer found the sizing runs small.[1,2,3,4,5]
Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Unbreakable Pantyhose 20 Denier - Fine: Choose this if you want sheer, 20 denier pantyhose that are sheer to waist, with a soft nylon and spandex blend, a cotton gusset, and a wide stretch waistband that sits at the natural waist. They come in Black and Beige/Greige in sizes A through D, though one review analysis reports sizing that runs small, which may increase tearing when pulling them on. Note that the same analysis describes several customers experiencing runs, ladders, or holes on the very first wear—often at the waist seam or while pulling them on—despite the packaging's run-resistant claim, so the soft, silky feel may be short-lived.[2,3,4] | Run-Resistant Control-Top Pantyhose 20 Denier - Fine: Choose this if you want sheer 20 denier pantyhose with a slimming control top and sandalfoot toes that work with open shoes. The legs are a soft, stretchy 73% nylon and 27% spandex blend, and the brand uses LYCRA FUSION technology aimed at run resistance, though that purpose comes from the product description rather than reported customer results. It comes in Black and Beige/Greige in sizes B through D, so check the size chart against your height and weight before ordering.[6,7,8,9] |

Wouldn’t buy again
Not true to size. Fits very small. And right away when I put them on there was a hole.
Malheureusement pas indéchirable
Au premier essai, le collant a déchiré au niveau de la taille. . .
Beau mais fragile
Très beau et doux au toucher, mais on maillé dès le premier essai
