- Oh my God, these are really tight.
Oh no!
Hello!
I'm Chloe, and welcome to Bizarre Beauty,
the show where I try weird internet products
so you don't have to.
(upbeat music)
(cat meow)
Today we're talking about those things you put on your feet.
Not socks, not shoes, but tights.
(cheering)
Actually they go up your leg,
and further than just your feet.
But whatever.
I don't really like tights,
because they run really easily.
So the products I'm trying out today
are two pairs of tights
that claim to be unrippable.
(dramatic music)
If that's true, I don't know what I'd do with myself.
Because you will never need to buy
another pair of tights again.
You'd have to wash them, obviously,
but you wouldn't have to buy any more.
So these two pairs of tights
are claiming to do the same thing,
but they are vastly different in price.
The first pair, I was advertised on Instagram quite a lot
and they are $14.95.
And while I was looking up that pair,
I came across a pair that are $99 of money.
That is a lot of money for a pair of tights.
That is a lot of money for any item of clothing
in my eyes, 'cause I'm cheap.
So obviously we had to buy them.
Obviously we have to try 'em out.
Obviously they have to be the best tights in the world,
or they are not worth $99 American dollars.
Pah-pah!
If you can't guess which one are more expensive,
then I think that you might need to go home.
Clearly these are the nice ones.
So this very unassuming package are the $14.95 pair.
No instructions.
But I guess, why would you need instructions for tights?
This one, haute couture, is that how you say it?
You get a free bag for $99, so that's good.
Bargain.
So the company is Sheertex.
They're Canadian actually.
Before I get going, let's just go over
what we're gonna do to test them out.
So I'm gonna put each of them,
and I'm gonna put them on quite swiftly,
as if I were late for work.
They run really easily doing that, usually.
I will see how much they stretch as I put them on,
because I feel like if they're not stretchy, they will run.
So if they're unrippable,
they should be pretty damn stretchy.
Once they're on, we're gonna run my nails over them
to see if they will rip through nailage.
Because you actually catch your nails in them
all the time I feel like.
And if they survive that,
I'm gonna at them with a knife.
Just a kitchen knife.
A full kitchen knife.
And we'll see what happens.
Alright, so first things first.
Mr. $15 tight man.
Oh they feel nice.
Very soft, smooth.
They're pretty sheer, actually.
I don't know why I assumed they'd be,
well I assumed they'd be really thick
because if they're indestructible,
I feel like they have to be really thick.
So that's kind of cool that they're not,
'cause I do tend to prefer tights
that aren't completely black.
The weird thing about them though
is they have lines all over them.
Look.
I wonder if they show up when they're on you.
Alright, let's put these on quickly.
Okay they do feel quite sturdy.
I don't feel like I have to worry as much
as a regular pair.
Oh they don't show up as liney when they're on.
That's so weird.
They're very tight, and I think these are a large.
Oh my God, these are really tight.
Oh no!
No!
Are you kidding me?
I'm really sad about this because I had high hopes.
Dude!
Literally I just pulled them up.
I wasn't even doing it aggressively.
(upbeat music)
(alarm sound)
I'm just gonna pull them up just to see.
Well.
My legs are too long.
No!
I've done it again.
Don't sell tights and be so--
Just say they're a pair of tights.
'Cause that's what they are.
They're just a normal pair of tights.
I can't even pull them up any higher.
I guess I'll still do the nail test,
just because we should put it through its tests.
Like if you're doing this,
like I guess, yeah, they're not gonna rip, are they?
You're just petting them essentially.
The thing that is weird, is they do feel pretty sturdy.
Like if you do this.
Alright, well they kind of completely failed
but I do still wanna try the knife test.
Ooh it's green!
That's pretty warm from a knife.
Friendly colors.
So I'm gonna lift it up like this.
Seems good.
And then I've seen, like a video of someone doing this
on one of the websites that sell these tights.
They like somehow push it through,
and it's just--
Yeah, like that.
Which, it's not ripping.
Oh, now it is.
Well, if you had put any force behind it,
and you just place it, it doesn't rip.
But I'm pretty sure any tights, if you do that,
it's not gonna rip.
As soon as you do this, yes, it's going to rip.
Alright, onto the next.
Put the knife away.
Safety first.
Number two, Mr. $99.
You better be better.
I like how it's packaged.
Very adorable.
I think I get a free pair of tights.
What's this?
It's one foot.
It says test me on it.
Hey, test this out so you'll buy more of our stuff.
Okay, here are these.
Whoa.
These are heavy duty
compared to the other ones.
Oh my God, the waistband.
It's like the fabric of a skirt.
It's so thick.
You probably can't tell, but it is like 20 times thicker
than the other pair.
But that's just the waistband I guess.
Oh maybe this is like a sucky-in pair.
So that would be good too.
This is what I expected from tights
that were indestructible.
I definitely feel like I can pull these around more.
Oh these are nice.
This is a nice pair of tights, guys.
But if you want sheer,
then obviously these aren't really great.
These are really stretchy.
These ones don't feel like they're gonna rip at all.
Like I can jump around in these, no problem.
Feels like they're maternity pair of pants.
They're almost up to my bra!
$99 though.
I just don't know if anything is worth that.
They do look more sheer now they're on.
Like I can see some of my leg,
which I thought I wouldn't be able to.
So the first test definitely passed.
Second test.
Like this is not gonna rip.
There is definitely scientific stuff behind this
that I don't fully understand
so I'll just write it down here.
(upbeat music)
Alright, time for the knife.
Where is it?
Okay, so I'm pushing in this one
and last time they just broke.
These ones aren't.
Look.
There's a tiny little mark, but that's it.
Okay that is crazy, look.
I'm actually using force.
Oh my God.
Okay, I don't even wanna ruin them.
They're too nice.
I'm keeping them.
Sorry.
I mean, I'm sure I could put a few more tests
but for like normal wear and tear of
like wearing tights everyday,
there is no way these are just gonna rip.
I am so sad about the other pair though because $15.
I would much rather pay that than $99, obviously.
But maybe after these have been out a long time,
they'll go down in price.
'Cause these are pretty new.
But tell me what you think!
Have you ever heard of these before?
Have you heard about the sketchy Instagram ones?
Join me next time where I'll try another weird thing.
Bye!
