"The Venere 30 provides nice mild compression with a VERY comfort waistband unlike many other brands. I appreciate the fact that the manufacturer has an extensive range of sizes as well. Working outside and being on my feet all day, I found these to be quite durable, decent as a second layer under work pants and helpful in leg relief. I'm planning to try the moderate and firm compression next."

"The back seam is different from the picture. Instead of a single seam on the backside, there are two seams that run up the rear. I was expecting the more traditional style, as shown in the pictures. I was disappointed to receive this double seam, which doesn't fit as snug, and always feels "droopy" in the back. Luckily, I have very skinny ankles, as they fit tightly there, but get much looser towards the top. I very much like the fit on the legs, but the looseness on the tummy is disconcerting, as it sags and falls down there. "

"Dear Legluxe, I must admit I was rather skeptical about ordering your pantyhose as I am a Wolford's fan for many years. You won me over. Your product is superior to Wolford's sheer pantyhose. The added feature of compression to sheer pantyhose is a brilliant move and your color selection is great. I am a doctor and spend many hours on my feet. My legs feel great at the end of the day & I still look polished and put together. Thank you, G. Henderson. "

"Very near and dear are my Venere 30 to me. Starting with my feet and ankles I feel firm but gentle press then complete caress of lower legs. The knees feel the press including the back of them and the embrace of the thighs on up to the hugging of the hips buttocks and tummy with assertive gentleness. The cotton gusset is so soft and breathes so nicely. Venere 30 is one of my favorites. Graduated compression, ingenious. Great therapy. "

"The energy I feel all day keeps me active on the job. The look and feel exhilarates me, and my boyfriend loves them on me."

"I have worn support hose daily for over five years, utilizing hose from numerous manufacturers including those offering support pantyhose made specifically for men, or unisex support pantyhose. I have sought compressive relief for both of my knees, injured during competitive swimming and a subsequent motorcycle accident. As a structural engineer, I recognized years ago the benefits and practicality of graduated compression pantyhose, especially those made with 20 percent or higher Lycra content. The Solidea venere 30 hose is outstanding with respect to the quality of the yarn and construction. I recommend them to those with leg health issues irrespective of one's gender. To my fellow males: Ignore and get over the "sexy" description. Leg health benefits trump the sales pitch to the ladies. And the past ten years has seen more men wearing hose for health benefits, and not for fetish use. "

"Wore my first pair for 3 non-consecutive days as a test fit to see if I would notice the difference; I did! Better than the Givenchy 575 that I wore on the in-between days. Looking to get additional pairs of these and the 70D also. "

"This is an excellent product. The fit and feel are marvelous. The comfort level is such that you can forget that you have them on. "
