The company’s pathbreaking product, Spanx Footless Bodyshaping Pantyhose, is a lightweight, body-firming undergarment that offers women the advantages of control top pantyhose but with the comfort of soft bands at the waist and ankle and feet free for wearing open-toed shoes.
Spanx products are available at better department stores and more than 600+ specialty boutiques in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom. The company produces a moderate-priced line of body-shaping and footless hosiery for Target, Inc.; these are sold under the brand name Assets.
