New Favorite Fishnets
Though these do seem delicate in certain areas, they ARE thigh highs, so what can you really expect? They come in two colors, and the bands along the thighs really set these apart from other fishnets. They add a finished look, while looking elegant and sexy. These are probably my new favorite fishnets.

Pros
Classier & more finished look than typical fishnet thigh highs, come is red and black
Cons
Only one size, needs a nice reinforced toe, feels especially delicate around the bands
These thigh highs came packaged like so:
One of them had a sheet of paperboard inside, the other did not. I thought that was a bit odd.
I really like the style of these and find them to look a bit more "finished" and professional even, than traditional fishnets. The bands around the thigh really give this a neat, but still sexy, look. These would be great for wearing out with a nice outfit, with a costume, for roleplaying, or with lingerie.
One issue that I have with thigh highs, especially when made of any sort of net, is a lack of reinforced toe. I'm not sure if they were going for one here, since I did notice that these are a little bit snug at the toes, but not painful, perhaps the net is closer/tighter there? Though I did not notice a distinct reinforced toe. Having a reinforced toe raises the quality of hosiery. It can prevent snagging, and having your toes slip through the net, which anyone who has worn fishnets knows that can get annoying and uncomfortable.
However, the part of these that I fear seems the most delicate is the area between the bands along the thighs. I worry that the space between the bands could snag or get torn. Also, as you can see, there is a seam that goes up the side of these bands, one on each thigh. Though, that doesn't take away from them visually.
To care for them, especially how potentially delicate they are, handwash only and air dry.
These come in both red and black, which is nice. It would be great if there were other color options as well. Other sizes would be even better, since these only come in one size. It would be nice if these came in a plus size. I am tall, and have thick thighs, so I tend to feel more comfortable wearing plus or queen size hosiery when available. They stretch less, seem less apt to get torn, and they don't feel as constricting as one size hosiery can. Don't get me wrong though, these fit me comfortably; still, if a plus size were available, I'd want to try them. I am about 5'9", long legs, and my weight goes between 140-160, and I tend to avoid checking the number on the scale. I generally wear a size 11 in pants, and these thigh highs fit my thighs well. They are not too short, they actually reach my thighs.
These stay up well on their own, I did not find that they roll down at all. You don't need a garter or garter belt to hold them up, but it would still enhance their look. One thing that I am wondering is if these could show signs of wear, specifically in those spaces between the bands, if you clipped a garter belt on to them. I haven't tried to wear them that way yet, but should have that info for my follow-up.

Experience
These are very comfortable, and stay in place. They don't feel too tight or too short, and I don't feel like my thighs bulge out above the band. I have very sensitive skin and I did not find any part of these to be itchy, irritating, or uncomfortable when I wore them. The fabric was not stiff, dry, or bothersome at all. The net itself about as sturdy as one could hope for fishnet to be.
Follow-up commentary

These are sleek-looking, reasonably priced fishnet stockings. I like them, and they are my go-to fishnets. I really like the look of the bands on the thigh. These have held up very nicely.

Thank you for viewing Fishnet stockings with elastic top – hosiery review page!
I'm glad that these worked for you. I loved the idea of these so much that I ordered a pair, but sadly the band didn't work well for me. I have thicker thighs, and I had issues getting them to stay up without a garter belt.
