But I hate how easily they tend to rip on sheer pairs.

I wish the denier grading system for pantyhose was more common here in Canada. I guess it is more common in the UK. I prefer something between sheer and opaque control top pantyhose so that it has better reinforcement around the seams.

As a male It makes me wish my penis was smaller in this case hahah. It causes to much tension in the crotch!
