Customer Reviews Spanx Tight-End Tights® Reversible

These are nice quality tights but I would not have known they were Spanx. They felt a little low waisted--it's hard to pull them up without worrying you will tear the waistband. Once on, the waistband tends to roll unless your clothing is tight around the waist to hold them in place. The reversible is a nice idea, but the toe seams are on the black side rather than the dark charcoal. I usually wear the black side out which means the seams show if I remove my shoes. They are nice in the hips and leg, though. I will order again, just not bother with the reversible option.

I really like these. They are a bit pricey for what is basically control top tights, but the quality is very good and you can choose the gray side or the black side.

Love, love, love these! Black on one side brown on the reverse. They fit beautifully. I am 5'2 and have an athletic build. Some tights make me look bulky but these are very slimming!

I purchased these tights based on the positive reviews and am very happy with them. They're more opaque than any other allegedly opaque tights I've tried (my previous favorite was Hue's super-opaque control-top), which makes them ideal to wear with shorter dresses/skirts while still maintaining a professional rather than a night-lifey look. Although they're pricier than some other brands, they seem sturdy and like they'll last for quite some time (I usually manage to destroy tights after only 1-3 rounds, and so far these have survived maybe 10 rounds and they're still going strong!), so I think they'll end up being cost-effective. I'm 5'4, 100ish lbs, and bought size A; they're perfectly comfortable but not too tight, not too loose, and structural enough to stay in place but to do much in the way of shaping someone with my frame would probably need a smaller size option. All in all, these are my favorite tights and I'll be buying a few more pairs.

It's a waste of money to buy anything else. Very few snags, no runs, they hold up to washing machines and still look great. In the past 15 years, I've only owned three pairs, because that's all I've needed. I finally wore a hole in the heel of the last pair. These are great for everyday wear and for a layer of warmth under jeans in the winter. When I wear a skirt, the reinforced part shows when I sit down, so you may want another brand for really short skirts.

Holy, wow! These are fabulous. They hold you nice and smooth but feel super cozy. They are soft and can you believe they are reversible. I have worn mine both ways. I suggest these to everyone!

Absolutely amazing! At 6 feet tall I constantly struggle to find the right size. These not only fit, but make me look fantastic! No kidding! The price may seem at first a bit high, but they're reversible, so it's really like 2 tights in one!

I love these tights! I bought them for a long trip in the winter and they were great for keeping me warm and being reversible they gave me more outfit options. They are very tight but not uncomfortable and they definitely shaped me nicely. I didn't have any issues with bagging or rolling and they wash up great too.

I typically wear Falke or Wolford tights so I was skeptical that Spanx were going to be good enough quality for the opaque coverage I want. I have to admit that they do the trick. They're thick enough to not lose their color at the knee light Hue tights do. I gave the 4 stars for style because they don't quite cover as well as Wolfords or Falke. They're super stretchy so they stay up too which is great for days when you're walking around a lot. They stay put much better than other tights. As for the low rise that others have mentioned, I agree. These tights are much more low-rise than typical Hue or department store brands. I love that about them, though. I'm 5'2" so the low rise works great for me. It is especially helpful when I'm wearing a skirt that is low-rise. Others mentioned the waistband rolled. I didn't find this at all. The waistband is wide and thick and stayed in place perfectly for me. As a point of reference/full disclosure, I'm pretty fit and have a relatively flat stomach so that could be a factor. I really like wearing these tights. They 'hug' your legs and are cozy feeling. I hope this review helped you make your decision!

All the squeeze you love and expect from Spanx, but they're also a really sharp-looking, well made pair of tights. How well made? I crashed my Vespa in them last week and they didn't even snag. Wish I could say the same for the road rash on me and my scooter!

Super love these tights! Also help tame some problem areas like the tummy area. And love how they are reversible!

Super-convenient with both black and brown colors in one pair! I prefer the footless tights, but am happy to have two colors in one pair with this item.

A must have for anyone who wears tights for extended periods of time. Very soft and comfortable, and sucks everything in. The reversible feature makes it great for travel!

Love them! Two for one is the way to go. Expensive, but Spanx last, and they do the job!

I am in love with these tights. They are so comfortable I forget I'm even wearing tights. I bought the grey/black pair, the grey is fairly dark FYI. And I don't know about you but it is very difficult for me to buy tights advertised as opaque that are actually opaque and amazingly these are! Very thick and they keep me warmer than most tights I've owned. I will be buying a pair in every color. Fits true to size, buy these and you won't be disappointing.

I thought these tights were going to change my life! These are great tights: super opaque, slimming but not restrictive, and because they are reversible, like two pairs in one. However, I am disappointed with the way the tights wear. They pilled the first time I wore them and continue to do so afterwards.

Spanx tights are my go to tights. Not only do they hold up well and keep everything smooth, they fit better than any other brand I've tried. I'm around 5'8" but have problems finding tights that are long enough in the leg, these work perfect for me.

These are the gold standard for opaque tights. I purchased my first pair in early 2008 and after five years' of approx. 3x per week wear every winter, it was only in Oct 2013 that I finally had to replace them due to a tiny hole above the knee. I also own a pair in black-brown which is about 2 years old and still in great shape. Unfortunately, the replacement black-gray pair I ordered from zappos somehow got a hole near the crotch area about a month after purchase. I'm still wearing them b/c the hole doesn't seem to be ripping any further or causing any runs in the tights (and no one can see it). I've chalked it up to just a fluke experience which is the reason I still gave the tights five stars. The tights are midweight and quite soft. Very comfortable. Fit is high-waisted and true to size. (I'm 5'5", 115 lb, and wear a size A.) These tights have proved to be a wardrobe staple for me and I wear both the charcoal and black sides frequently.

Pretty happy with these and they're very dark black and basically completely opaque. Great shaping effect, with a little bit of rolling down at the top (as another reviewer mentioned), but not enough rolling to be seen even under a tight shirt. Good price for the quality. If you're planning on wearing these with short shorts or a short skirt, make note that there is a line on the upper thigh that might be visible. (the border where the thick thigh shaping section joins with the thinner leg section)!

I bought 4 pairs of these tights (found an awesome sale at another store). All the same size (E). 2-bittersweet/black, 1-charcoal/black, 1-Navy/Black. I love one pair and the others are just okay. There is a wide inconsistency in the sizing. The pair I love has the longest waist. On the others, I carefully snipped the threads holding the rolled waist band, and this gave me an extra 1/2 inch and it also helps smooth the seam between the tights and my waist since they don't go up as high as I like. In all 4 pairs, the torso is much shorter than the Spanx original 128. If you try to yank them up high enough, the waist will run. I cannot wear these with any pants or skirt with a waistband lower than the height of the tights, or they will roll down. Aside from that, I love these tights because they are super-soft (softer than any other Spanx tights I own - about 15 pairs). Yet they still hold, smooth, and firm like the Original 128 version, or maybe even better. The booty is well shaped and comfortable. I especially like these because the super-soft material does not make any "thigh-rubbing" sound when walking - even in my pin-drop quiet cubicle land office. Highly recommend if you have a short torso, or sizing up and trimming and sewing some of the leg length. For extra softness and color preservation, soak overnight before wearing the first time in a 50/50 vinegar water mixture (I do this will all my Spanx tights), then hand wash and hang dry as normal. Never dry in the dryer.

I have to say I'm really disappointed. I've never spent this much money on tights before (I usually go with $5 tights), but these had such great reviews that I decided to take a chance. Bad idea. Yes, they were very soft and cozy, but there was a rip in them as soon as I put them on. I got the right size (I had the option to size down because I was right on the fence but I went with the larger size out of caution), so I'm not sure what I did or if the rip was there to begin with. If you wear tights a lot, then you know how much it sucks to discover a run/rip/hole after one wear - well imagine how I felt...I didn't even get to wear them! I love Zappos and will continue to shop here, but I'm still upset. I wish I could return them but I don't think anyone would want used tights. I feel like I just threw the money in the garbage because I have a feeling that that's where these tights have to go now.

I'm 5'6 and 120 pounds bought size medium and the fit is very good. One objection I have with all Spanx products is either the waist band (in this case) rolls and does not remain flat, or in the case of a Spanx half slip, the bottom kept rolling up. I returned the half slip and will probably return the tights. For me Spanx just don't work.

Love these tights—they're like getting two pairs in one. In addition to fitting well and looking good, they're also extremely durable. I've lost track of the number of times I've worn them and they've yet to develop a snag or run.
