- We are here in Las Vegas for CES 2019 at the Palazzo
and we're about to try out the Sheertex pantyhose.
Now these people say that these pantyhose are unbreakable,
but we're about to put that to the test.
Let's go try them out.
Hi Natalie, tell me about these pantyhose.
- Yeah. So these are actually the world's very first
pair of pantyhose made with the strongest polymer
in the world.
- I think every woman understands this about pantyhose,
but this something that maybe the dudes
are a little lost upon.
It is so easy to break a pantyhose.
All I have to do is touch it and my skin might be rough,
and then oh, there goes a tear, there goes whatever.
So, I'm interested to see how well these hold up.
- Sure, let's do it.
(techno music)
- One thing I'm gonna say
is that the material feels
a lot thicker, but in a sturdy way.
It's still pretty sheer and breathable.
- There you go.
- Let's get my...
Oh I think I broke my nail.
Not happening.
I'm really trying, I'm not faking this.
My finger hurts.
- Yeah. - Oh my God.
- So what makes this so amazing is
we're actually the very first to be able to extrude this
very strong polymer into a thin enough fiber
that works in hosiery.
So we had to really work to use stretchy fibers
in order to work with the
ultrahigh molecular weight of polyethylene
to get it to actually stretch.
But we had to make sure that we didn't compromise
the strength of it.
- I can't, I can't break it.
- This is your basic name brand competitor product.
Do you want to put these to the test?
- Yeah, let's try this.
- So they're around the same denier.
- What's a denier?
- So, denier is the thickness of the pantyhose.
- I did it, I broke it.
- You ripped it apart.
- I ripped it apart.
I feel like the Hulk.
(techno music)
- Would you like to try the zipper test?
So these ones are really great.
If you try to get these caught in the zipper here.
You want to just pull it out.
There you go.
So if you take a look there.
- It's still intact.
That's pretty cool.
Cause that has happened to me before.
- You want to try it on the competitors?
- Yeah. Let's find a part that wasn't
actually destroyed by me.
- Yeah, sure.
So I'm going to try to get it really caught in there.
Is that even caught?
So there you go.
- Oh look.
- Department store pantyhose brands,
they're anywhere from $20 to $50 a pair.
So it's kind of crazy.
- For that.
- For that, yeah.
- $50 for that.
How much more mileage am I gonna get out of one pair
of these compared to well...
- Well... (laughter)
So we say that you get about 10 times more
mileage out of them compared to the regular brand.
(techno music)
- So final thoughts on the Sheertex pantyhose.
The construction is really solid, we tried our best.
Eleanor put her foot through it, I punched through it.
We couldn't break it, no matter how much we tried.
And I almost broke a nail.
For $99, it's actually not as expensive as you think,
especially when you consider that drugstore pantyhose
can cost somewhere between $10 to $20
and you're just throwing them away
after a single use anyway.
So our final verdict is that the Sheertex pantyhose
are pretty unbreakable and pretty cool.
