I love these. I don't normally like to buy things I can't "play with" first, especially since plus-sized garments vary so much in size among brands. Lingerie is especially finicky regarding sizing.

I have wanted a garter belt for some time, but the ones I normally find in plus-sizes tend to be overly stretchy and pull down, which does nothing for holding up pantyhose! Enter the panties with garter straps. This has made my day. Better yet, my year.

Although they are a little scratchy if you wear them before washing, they fit very well. I wear 24W pants (Cato/Lane Bryant brands) and 11/12 panties from Wal-Mart. I ordered the 3X. These fit quite well and are VERY comfortable. There is an elastic band around the leg openings, and this prevents the panties from being pulled down by the thigh-highs. Also, the top waist band stays in place without being uncomfortable. It's nice to not constantly have to do that little "pull up my panties" dance in the middle of a restaurant or worry about my panties being pulled down by my thigh-highs in the middle of a class.

The material is sheer pink with sparkles. The ruffles on the back will show through tight pants or skirts, but not through denim. The straps are very adjustable, which is great because I have short legs! The garters are also removable, so you can wear them just as panties when you don't need the garters (and to prevent tangling in the wash). I strongly recommend hand washing these so as not to risk damaging the material or the hookups on the garters in the washer or dryer. I have no experience with machine washing and drying as I just don't want to tear them up. These are too cute to risk damaging.

I seriously love these. Hopefully they'll be available in more colors so I can pick up a few more pairs.

I still like them, but I've noticed that if I squat, I hear stitches pop in the ruffles area. I haven't noticed that any are falling off, but it bothers me to worry that they might. They're still quite comfy.
