I do love these, but the sizes are confusing. If you are larger of thigh, but that is all, expect to have very large baggy ankles if purchasing the XL.

Pros
Wet look is super sexy, long enough for taller legs.
Cons
Ankles are far too baggy, not very much support in the top lace.

When first ordering the Wet look thigh highs I was trying to be careful of my body shape. Being a girl of larger thighs, it is too easy to get a pair of thigh highs that either choke me at the thigh or just plain won't stay up due to the rolling garter belt or not. Now, I am well aware that being 6' tall works against me as well, either they are too short, too long, or too baggy.
Welp, for the first time ever I have gotten a pair of thigh highs that are BOTH too long and too baggy. I mean, these bad boys not only give me kankles, but also kiss my crotch with no room to spare. At the moment, I am an 18 to 20 tall, and so I was very worried about ordering the OSFM. I went ahead and ordered the XL. I figured that with my above average height and my larger size thighs that it would be a win-win.
Sorry my toes are cut out, my hubbys face was showing and he insisted I cut it out. In the pic it shows just how badly my ankle was ballooned. It was pretty bad. Also when I bent my ankle it wrinkled up horrible. Just about the only place it was not loose was my thigh.
I do like how the inside at the lace has a lining to hold it to your skin, however it rolled anyway, I am too squishy.
Made from 80% Nylon and 20% Spandex, the inside of these closely resemble a pair of leggings you would wear out to the club. I have to admit that these are really not all that breathable in heat. As far as cleaning, I HIGHLY recommend only hand washing just like the instructions indicate. I fear that being put in a washer might ruin them. I hung them from a hanger in front of a fan to dry and they were just as new.
The packaging is average for thigh highs or hose. I would not expect it to look much different.
Inside were packets of gel to keep moisture from building up inside.
Experience
Now I have found a way to make the baggy look work, make them look like a pair of baggy pirate boots with a widely folded top and pair of nice black patent heels, or fold them down and use a garter belt. I did feel super sexy when I made them work. My husband loves the look of these, I hope to find other ways to make them amazing.

I have decided to give these to a friend and wait for the smaller size to come back into stock. Fingers are crossed till then. I do love these, just they were far to big.
