6 Myths About Low-Rise Tights

From The Lowdown Blog

By the time I had the idea come to me for the Hipstik design, I’d tried my fair share of so-called “low rise” tights. I’d become quite the skeptic, which actually helped me to create the best pair possible. Let my experience debunk what you may be thinking. And actually trying Hipstiks for yourself will change your mind about tights forever…. They’re just not so “tight” anymore!

1. 1. I’ve Tried Low Rise Tights Before and They Suck: Yes they do. I have tried them all, too. Most so-called low-rise tights are just the same design the industry has been doing forever with just less material in the torso. That isn’t good enough. When you do this it creates a low-riding squeezing ring (which I’d say is actually worse than having the control top up to your bra… at least that stays up) and is inevitably going to roll.
   2. I’ll Have Plumber’s Crack: Low-rise doesn’t mean low-slung. Hipstik is meant to sit under your belly button to free your midsection from tormenting squeezing and overheating suffocation of traditional control top. The lace band is stretchy to move with you, even when you squat. I tested Hipstik with teachers who are constantly squatting to their little ones. The waistband gives and stretches for coverage, backside and all.
