Pantyhose with lycra beautifully hug your legs, will not wrinkle, soft and stretchy, won’t obstruct your movements and have a massaging effect.

The maximum percentage of lycra in pantyhose is 30%. If on the packaging says 3-5% this is mean that lycra present only in a waistline. These pantyhose will fit loosely. Sheer pantyhose have about 10% of lycra, semi sheer pantyhose have about 20% of lycra. The more lycra the pantyhose have, the more expensive they are.
