Lately, you've probably heard about the famous " ultra-resistant tights ." Are you still wondering, afraid of being disappointed?
In this article, we give you 6 good reasons to take the plunge and convert to ultra-resistant tights ( Swans , preferably).
1. Resistance
Of course, the first reason to turn to ultra-resistant tights is, unsurprisingly... resistance ! We're not telling you anything, classic tights have no resistance and run at the slightest opportunity. While classic tights won't last more than 5 wears before running (and ending up in the trash), ultra-resistant tights will be worn dozens of times. The ultra-resistant Cygnes tights, for example, are faithful and won't let you down at the first snag: they are made to be worn up to 5*5+5 times!
But contrary to what one might think, resistance is far from being the only reason...
2. The planet
Does planned obsolescence mean anything to you? It refers to the process of programming a limited lifespan for a product to speed up its replacement. Currently, tights are the last consumer product still subject to planned obsolescence.
If you are interested in this topic, we invite you to read our article " Tights, synonymous with planned obsolescence. "
Anyway, back to the point. Planned obsolescence reduces the lifespan of products, and in this case, tights. It thus encourages overconsumption and therefore overproduction . Knowing that the production of a single pair of non-resistant tights requires 750 liters of water , imagine for a moment the quantity of water wasted because of this planned obsolescence... It is incalculable.
Buying ultra-resistant tights means reducing the consumption and production of tights, fighting against planned obsolescence and therefore saving water.
Buying Cygnes ultra-resistant tights saves 9 million liters of water, but also 30 kilos of recycled plastic and, above all, 10,000 tights are no longer produced.
3. Comfort
Tights that itch, roll up at the waist, and don't stay in place, that...
speak ?
If the answer is yes, then you haven't yet switched to ultra-resistant tights ! With them, all these things will be a thing of the past and you'll finally be as comfortable in your tights as you are in your pajamas.
Our ultra-resistant Cygnes tights are handcrafted according to the rules of the art, knitted in a French workshop with expertise in tights for over 70 years, from a superior quality yarn giving them very high resistance properties and absolute comfort.
4. The budget
Buying tights is expensive. Especially when you have to buy new ones because your old pair broke down after only 3 uses...
Nothing better than a little calculation to better understand this:
- A pair of classic tights costs an average of €10. A woman wears tights an average of 60 times a year, so she'll need to buy around 12 pairs to last the entire year. Her annual tights budget will therefore be €120!
And how much do ultra-resistant tights cost?
- We don't know about the others, but the majority of Cygnes ultra-resistant tights cost €34. For 60 wears per year, you should therefore consider buying 2 Cygnes resistant tights since these can be worn up to 30 times.
- 2 x €34 = €68. The annual budget for ultra-resistant tights in this case is €68.
5. Serenity
We don't know about you, but we find wearing tights more than stressful!
Watching out for the slightest snags, the slightest movements that could cause it to slip, wearing gloves to put it on, sweating when our dog comes near us, for fear that he might (once again) destroy our outfit of the day... It's tiring.
Wearing ultra-resistant tights means being free to move, being able to jump, dance, run, being able to meet your cat with complete peace of mind. In short, it means no longer being afraid to live your day at 200%.
6. Heat
Conventional tights are often just for aesthetic purposes, but don't provide much (or much) warmth in your outfit. On the other hand, ultra-resistant tights are a garment in their own right. Made from premium materials, they're thicker, and beyond enhancing your legs, they'll also keep you warm.
It's up to you to play with the deniers to adapt to the weather and the seasons. The ultra-resistant 30 denier, for example, will be perfect for spring and sunny days, the 40 denier is preferred for autumn while the 60 denier is made for the coldest days!
In winter, wear your durable tights with your favorite boots!
