*Intro:

I have had hit and miss luck with Os sized panties from Coquette. The sizing for this OS is pretty great. It's my favorite style of panty but has a mesh crotch for a twisted change. For the price, I'm not pleased that there are a lot of loose strings and the lace creases too easily. The crotch liner is a joke too. If you can look past those flaws, this hot red panty is pretty sexy.

*Contents/overview: One piece panty

These panties are from Coquette. They are a lace hip-hugger thong with mesh crotch. The lace band can be worn very low and is more or less seamless. They are available in OS and PS. They won't fit the larger end of their OS chart, but aren't ridiculous for an OS. They come in three colors, white, black, and red.

*Material: Feels durable

These panties are made of 100% nylon exclusive of trim which must be the lace since that has some spandex in it. The lace is stretchy but not as stretchy as VS lace. It is soft enough, but has a lot of lose ends hanging off of it. The pattern has large flowers. The mesh is thick and much coarser. There is a satin feeling to the lining of the side of the crotch area.

*Design/craftsmanship: Small crotch, a few loose ends

These panties are hip-huggers, with a thick lace band. The band is about as thick as typical Victoria Secret lacie thongs. The band is scalloped on both sides and has a hideously large seam in the very center of the panty. The scallop has nubs coming off of it too. It makes it look unfinished. The band is about 2" thick. The band when laid flat is about 13.5" across. The crotch portion when laid flat is only 4 1/2" across! This is pretty small and will likely bother most people. It's also only 5" long. This is pretty short and will ride very low and cover very little. The crotch liner is a friggin' joke. It's only 2" long and 1/2". The thong "floss" is 7/8" at the smallest point, which is a good size for me.

The back has THREE tags. One is the thin fabric black one with the Coquette name on it. The second is a tiny satin one that says OS and the third is a papery one of average size that lists the materials and care. Too many tags...

Made in China.

*Cleaning/packaging: Hand wash, plastic bag

The tag says these need to be hand washed, but they are fine in a machine even if you don't put them in a lingerie bag. You can hag them to dry on put them in the dryer on low heat for a short cycle. The panties come in a small clear plastic bag with a nice cardboard tag attached with a ribbon and safety pin. I keep all of these and use them as "playing cards" in a pick-my-lingerie-for-the-night-game with my boyfriend!

Compared to a OS The Lacie Victoria Secret panty.

*Sizing: Fairly good for Os but won't fit largest side of chart

I usually wear a M in this style of panty, but could only choose a OS. Compared to a OS from VS these are a little smaller and fit more like a M/L.

According to the NEW Coquette chart (not on Eden...they still have not updated), it shows that these should fit a woman who weighs 120-150lbs (55-68kg), 38-40" hip, and size 6-12 dress. I'm a size 8 in jeans and weigh about 144 pounds. My hips are about 38.5". These fit me pretty perfectly in the hips. They are snug enough that they don't slide around, but they don't cut in at all either. The crotch is really small, but I like wearing my thongs really low rise, so it doesn't bother me that much.

*Re-done Sizing/Best fit: Decent for an OS

Dress size: 4-10
Hip size: 36-40"
Weight: 130-160 lbs

*Conclusion: ★★★★

If it weren't for the very thick seam in the middle and tons of threads I had to pull, I'd be giving these 4 stars. For the price, I expected better. They are comfortable, though. They didn't bother me through four hours of dancing!

These panties are high quality. I just tell they are going to last a long time! I do sometimes have creases in the lace after the wash, but i hang them in my bathroom during a shower and they are good as new!
