Zebra mesh boyshort - shorts discontinued by Baci - review by novanilla

The zebra mesh boyshort by Baci is a great choice for daily wear or to compliment other lingerie. They feature full coverage, a black cotton liner, white and black zebra print mesh, and black lace trim around the leg holes and hips. They're attractive, but also great for wear during the day.

Although I usually am a solid size small, I've read some reviews about Baci underwear before and they've all said that it runs small. It seemed like these were going to become discontinued (and I was right--they are) so I decided to just go with the M/L size. My butt tends to be more on the medium size a lot of the time anyway. However, I have a 26" waist and typically wear a size 0 or 2 dress.

These are 90% polyester and 10% spandex. According to the tag, they were designed in Miami but they were made in China. There are no care instructions on the tag, but they came in a box that indicated they should be hand washed warm, only non-chlorine bleach when needed, to tumble dry low, do not iron or dry clean, and wash colors separately.

Measurements:

Waist - 13.25" across
Leg hole - 10"
Hip sides - 3.5"
Lace trim - .9"
Liner - 4" long, 2" wide

Most of the size small underwear I've ordered from Eden have been around 12" across the waist, so really, these are not too far off. They sit low on the hips too, where the body begins to widen anyway. They're really soft and definitely sheer. They look more white than in the picture, which is because of skin tone. They do have a seam up the front and back, which looks odd. I'm not sure why they chose to sew them that way instead of making seams on the hips.

They came to me in a cardboard package. Inside was a plastic bag that they were folded nicely into. There was no Baci tag or ad attached to them aside from that with the material information inside of the underwear.

I really like attractive underwear that I can wear all the time, because my partner and I are busy students with jobs who don't often know whether we'll have sex that day or not. These jumped out to me while browsing because of the cost, but also the nice print. Only the M/L was available so even though I am a size 0/2 with a 26" waist, I decided to get them, partially because I knew Baci ran small at times, and partially because I wanted to take the plunge since I had a feeling they were getting discontinued. Searching for them to upload my pictures confirmed my suspicion--they have indeed been discontinued.

Seriously, these are not a size M/L though. My decision to buy these was a good one. They fit me perfectly, and I am not a size medium, and definitely not a size large! Anyone who is bigger than a small medium should not bother with these. The back is short and they're really cheeky, but larger women would have to pull these up their butt just to prevent their butt crack from showing on the top. Not attractive! These really are a small or medium. I'm rating them 4 stars for the odd fitting issue, but they're really great for the cost and I love them. Especially the black liner! They could have gone either black or white on these, and I hate white liners--they get stained so fast, so I only buy underwear that is white if I absolutely love them. The black liner and good quality will let these last me a long time of letting lions and tigers pounce on me.
