Lace tanga shorts - sexy panty discontinued by Fantasy Lingerie - review by Jul!a

Boyshorts look good on just about everybody, and I had a coupon I wanted to use. So I went a-browsing and this was one of the items that got tossed into my cart.

The packaging with these was minimal, just a small plastic bag with a sealed flap on one end.

The panties themselves are very well made. I tugged at and played with my pair for almost half an hour after I got it, just because I loved the way the material felt in my hands, and they rebounded beautifully. Nothing seemed to stretch too far, and I didn't fear breaking a seam.

I've never gotten anything from Fantasy Lingerie before, so I was unsure of how their sizing ran. I selected a size small, and according to them a small will fit a size 6-8 with a 26 1/2-28 1/2" waist and 37 1/2-39 1/2" hips. I've got about a 25" waist with 33" hips and these were definitely a wee bit loose on me.

For other sizes available, Fantasy Lingerie has the following measurements listed:
Medium: size 10-12 with a 28 1/2-30 1/2" waist and 39 1/2"-42 1/2" hips
Large: size 14-16 with a 30 1/2-32 1/2" waist and 42 1/2-44 1/2" hips

If you're close to between sizes and are looking for a more snug fit, I would suggest ordering a size down. The lack of waistband on these shorts prevents the dreaded "muffin topping" that might occur with most other panties that are slightly too small.

The design is very simple, your basic boyshort cut, but with a sexy take. Rather than laying flat all the way across your front, there's a slight "v" shape meeting at a small ribbon bow in the front. The design on the lace is very simple and elegant, eye-catching without stealing all of the attention. Laid flat the top measures about 14 1/2" across but easily stretches all the way up to 21". Down the side seams measures about 6" and from the top to the middle of the crotch area measures about 7". Each leg opening measures about 10 1/2" laid flat and stretches all the way up to 15".

Fantasy Lingerie has provided us with a cute little tag in the back that provides us with materials and washing instructions. According to them, these are made from 100% Nylon and can be machine washed cold on the gentle wash with darks. You should separately line dry and do not wring or twist. Personally I have run them through the regular wash and dryer and they came out just fine.

I know that boyshorts look good on me, and I do own a few pairs that I actually find to be very comfortable, but I can never know if a new pair is going to be one of the few coveted ones until I try it on, and these didn't wow me. I don't hate them by any means, and they do get to keep their spot in my underwear drawer, but they'll come out on special occasions.

When I first put them on I was a little sad that they seemed fairly loose. But I did some jumping just to test them (because I'm not going to spend the day wearing underwear that's just going to fall down) and they stayed put, which I was fairly impressed at. I wore them underneath a pair of thermal leggings and jeans with no real problems. I did notice that because of how loose they were on me that the sides would bunch up a bit and they would more closely start to resemble a bikini cut, but this didn't really bother me.

I think my only real qualm with the whole thing is the lack of a crotch liner. I don't know about the rest of you ladies, but I haven't yet found the ability to control whether or not I discharge anything, and it would have been really nice if that had all stopped at the underwear rather than go right on through the sheer material onto my leggings. But that won't stop me from wearing them again, it only changes how long I'll be wearing them.

I still think these are super cute, but they just don't seem to fit me right, no matter what I do. Being a bit loose didn't bother me much before when I was wearing more layers on a consistent basis, but now that I'm down to just jeans and no more thermal leggings, these bunch up a whole lot more during everyday activities.

I've worn them a few times for shorter periods of time, partly because of the bunching and partly because of the fact that there's no crotch panel.

However, I would still recommend them to people who are built a little wider than me. I'm just too small for these. They've gone through my regular wash with jeans and sweatshirts and all that fun stuff and haven't had any damage done to them at all, so they hold up really well. They just work better for wider hips.
