Product Insights
These 40 denier semi-transparent pantyhose from Simons offer a luxurious, soft feel with graduated compression and a wide waistband, using recycled nylon that matches virgin strength, all at $18 as the only Made in Italy option in its bracket. However, the European cut runs small, the toe area is prone to holes despite reinforcement, and slipping may occur during extended wear, requiring careful sizing and hand washing to extend lifespan.
Verified claims
- Fit
- European cut runs small; a 5'2″/128 lb buyer reports ordering a large but finding it tight in length and width and says an extra large would have been perfect.
- Material strength
- 40 denier recycled nylon resists snags as well as virgin polyamide.
- Care and usage
- Hand wash cold with a mild detergent and air dry flat, away from direct heat and sunlight, to maintain quality and compression.
- Fabric feel
- Buyers describe the pantyhose as comfortable and high quality; the recycled nylon is designed to match virgin nylon in strength and finish.
- Waistband
- The wide waistband is designed for lasting, non-pinching comfort.
- Semi-transparent finish
- Subtly shiny semi-transparent finish; durable 40 denier knit.
- Sheerness across colors
- Consistent semi-transparency across color options; Natural slightly more opaque.
- Compression
- Graduated compression for circulation and recovery — missing from Filodoro and Wolford.
- Design
- Wide waistband, subtle shiny finish — distinct from competitors' designs.
- Recycled quality
- Recycled nylon in this blend can match virgin nylon's strength and finish, reduces waste, and the 40 denier construction adds durability.
- Provenance
- At $18, the only 40 denier pantyhose explicitly labeled Made in Italy in its price bracket.
- Stay-up
- One buyer reports the pantyhose slipped down all day.
- Toe reinforcement
- One buyer reports a hole in the toe by the end of the day despite the reinforced toe construction.
- Compression strength
- The compression strength is not specified in mmHg; based on the 40 denier construction and graduated compression description, it likely provides light to moderate support, but the exact level is unconfirmed.
- Origin
- Toscana is made in Italy and, at $18 CAD, undercuts the Austrian-made Wolford Satiny 40 by $57, making Italian production available at a mass-market price.

Graduated compression for tired, heavy-feeling legs
Simons describes these 40-denier semi-transparent pantyhose as graduated compression hosiery, making them an option for days when you want leg support built into a sheer tight. According to the retailer listing, the graduated compression is meant to improve blood circulation, relieve tired legs, and promote recovery. These effects are the merchant's claims, and the available evidence does not include reported customer experiences or independent verification of them.[1,2]
Polished office and everyday wear
Shoppers reach for these semi-transparent 40 denier pantyhose to add an elegant finishing touch to office outfits and daily looks, with soft, comfortable fabric and a wide waistband designed for lasting comfort. Reviewers who sized correctly describe gentle, non-constricting all-day wear, though the European cut runs small in length and width and many buyers size up for a comfortable fit. Some reviewers report less reliable durability during active days, including slipping and holes forming quickly, particularly around the toe area.[1,2]
Finishing touch for dinners and parties
A semi-transparent, subtly satin finish that lets skin peek through stylishly, adding a touch of sophistication to dressy outfits for special events like dinners or parties. Based on a review analysis, reviewers report earning compliments while wearing them. The soft, comfortable fabric is described as easy to wear for all-day or all-evening use.[2]

| Toscana Pantyhose 40 Denier - Semi-Transparent Exclusive Collection From Italy: Choose this if you want semi-opaque 40 denier pantyhose with a subtle satin shine for office or special-occasion wear, especially if you'd like graduated compression that Simons says improves circulation and relieves tired legs. They're made in Italy from a soft, stretch recycled nylon blend with a wide comfort waistband and reinforced toes, in four colors from Nero to Navy/Midnight Blue and sizes small through extra-large. Note that reviewers say the European cut runs small, so size up, and durability is mixed: some find them long-lasting while others report holes after a wear or slippage on active days.[1,2,3] | Solid Pantyhose 20 Denier - Fine Exclusive Collection From Italy: Choose this if you want lightweight, sheer 20 denier pantyhose made in Italy from a stretch recycled nylon blend (91% polyamide, 9% spandex), with full waist-to-toe coverage, a wide opaque stretch waistband, and reinforced toes. Choose this for everyday or all-day wear — one customer reported the waistband stays in place and remains comfortable from work through evening activities. Be aware that colors (White, Baby Blue, Salmon/Coral) may differ from product images — some shades appear warmer or more red than expected, and there are reports of receiving a different color or style than listed.[4,5] | Garda Run-Resistant Pantyhose 20 Denier - Fine Exclusive Collection From Italy: Choose this if you want lightweight, semi-sheer everyday pantyhose: the 20-denier legs are a stretchy 81% polyamide and 19% lycra spandex blend with a cotton gusset, wide stretch waistband at the natural waist, and reinforced toes, and they are made in Italy exclusively for Simons. They come in Black and Sand in sizes Small through X-Large, with a size chart matching height and weight ranges (for example, the shown G–L size fits heights of 5 feet 3 inches to 5 feet 9 inches and 130 to 170 pounds). Note that run resistance is a manufacturer claim on the label rather than a verified customer-reported result.[6,7,8,9] |

Belle qualité
Beaux collants confortables !
Très satisfaite de mon achat.
J'achète ces collants depuis très longtemps , je suis satisfaite ; Ils sont très confortables.
One Wear!
I was hoping these would be superior quality due to the price. They fell down all day, and there was a hole in the toe by the time the day ended. Returning the unopened pair!
Excellent produit!
Beauté et qualité sont au rendez-vous!! Je crois qu'ils seront durables!
Grande qualité fait très petit
Bas semi transparent et de grande qualité par contre les grandeur sont erronées je prend moyen pas pris de chances ce sont des collants européens j’ai donc commandé du large et ils sont très juste en longueur et largeur pour un 5p2 et 128 livres un extra large aurait été parfait un avis serait pertinent à écrire ……
Sheer black pantyhose
Good quality. They fit me well.
Résistant mais class
J'ai essayé ces bas,l'année dernière et je les ai tout de suite aimé pour le confort et ensuite je me suis rendu compte qu'ils étaient resistant en plus! Que demander de plus pour des bas nylons.
Je recommande ce vêtement
J'apprécie son aspect semi-transparent au fini subtilement satiné, qui laisse transparaître la peau de manière élégante. Idéal pour les demi-saisons, ce modèle convient aussi bien pour le bureau que pour les sorties.
