It all started with a pair of scissors. Founder, Laura McGuire, was cutting down the front of her tights and pantyhose her whole life to be able to breathe while wearing them. She came to find out many women were resorting to this hack to get comfortable with frustrating results when they didn’t stay up. She worked in the hosiery section at a major department store in the early 2000s and uncovered just how confused customers were about buying the right size. After years of trying on dozens of styles and brands she found the largest size was too small – the tug, pull, and irritating squeeze. The waist always too high – why is a “control top” the only style available?! Just the name “tights” is a turnoff.
