Black lycra booty short - sexy panties by Coquette - review by Jul!a

These came in a plastic bag on a plastic hanger. It also came with a cardboard tag safety pinned onto it that shows the other colors as well. There's a tag on the inside of the shorts that tells you the size, materials, and care. These shorts are 80% Nylon and 20% Spandex and should be hand washed and hung to dry. You would probably be ok in the washing machine on gentle, but do so at your own risk.

These come in one size, or plus size. I got mine in a one size, which according to Coquette's new sizing chart means that I should be between a size 6-12, with 38-40" hips and a 28-30" waist. I've got about a 29" waist and measure about 34" around the top of my hips and 38" around my butt and while there was definitely a little wiggle room in sizing, it didn't really hold my butt in the way I'd have liked it to.

Just the one pair of shorts, that you can get in either black, white, red, or pink. Mine came in black, and they're definitely black (as opposed to some blacks that look more dark gray). They're listed as booty shorts, but I might call them more along the line of cheekies since to me, anything that ends with "shorts" is going to cover my butt. The fabric is smooth and soft, and seems to be wrinkle proof.

Laid flat, the waistband measures about 14" across but stretches up to 17", although at that point you'll be snapping threads and digging in. They're 6 1/2" tall in the middle (from the seam of the crotch to the waistband) and 5" tall on the sides. The front and back mimic each other's cut, so the front will be very covered where the back will show more cheek. The leg openings are about 24" around, and the crotch portion is about 2 1/4" wide. Something nice to see is the crotch liner which, while not fantastic, is still adequate enough to put these on the same level as normal underwear.

When I first put these on, I thought of my wet look booty shorts. Writing this review now, it all seems so obvious that I would end up with the same opinion, but I was hoping to be wrong. Pulling these up resulted in the same snapping threads that those other shorts did, only this time I noticed snapped threads along the crotch as well as the waistband. Needless to say, I am less than amused.

Wearing them as regular underwear is definitely doable, although I don't see them lasting an overly long time. Here are some pictures of me in them, even though I'm most definitely not their biggest fan.

Aside from the quality issues, these were actually fairly comfortable. I didn't personally like that they didn't cover my whole butt, but that's something I try not to have be a make or break on an item because that's such a personal preference. I still can't bring myself to hate these, despite the fact that I'll probably only get a handful of wears out of them, so I leave them with a 3 star rating.
