All over stretch panty - sexy panty discontinued by Coquette - review by js250

-----------------------------------------------------------
Manufacturer: Coquette
Size: Large
------------------------------------------------------------

Packaging:
The Holiday Stretch Lace Panties arrive inside a clear, plastic bag. A lingerie tag from Coquette is safety pinned to the waistband of the panties. These are not obvious when inside the plastic, but if you remove them with other people around--everyone will see your underwear!!

These would make a nice addition to a special gift basket for a girlfriend, wife or other intimate partner. They are flirty, classy and oh, so sexy!! Perfect for Valentines Day, Anniversary, or other special evening or holiday.

Details:
The black lace is semi-sheer and delicate looking. It has a very pretty and feminine floral and ribbon design scrolled into the fine mesh background of the lace. The panties are made to appear seamless. The design of the panties includes two vertical elastic ruchings, one beside each hip bone. The front ruching areas are flattering and very sexy, they also have a small bow sewn on at the bottom to look like an adjustable drawstring.

The waistband and leg bands have a very thin satin trim covering them and making the panties look very finished. The trim is very complimentary and hides the seams and raw edges of the lace. The tag is in the back and will itch if not removed.

There is a very small, thin crotch area. The crotch band is 1 1/2" wide and there is a small cotton half liner that measures 2 1/2" long and is 1 1/2" wide. This liner is placed in the frontal area of the crotch and might not be effective for all women. I would suggest a thin panty liner if you are going to be wearing these for a few hours to all day.

Material & Fit:
The panties are 100% Nylon, are made in China and are exclusive of design according to the tag. These are very stretchy and the One Size Fits Most will work for many different builds. If you are on the wider range of the hip measurements or have a tummy pooch that adds to the size of your girth in that area-- get the Plus Size!!

When the lace starts to get close to the maximum stretch, it will accent your bulges and can create new ones. There was a serious muffin top just below my belly button and I had a quad butt. Yep--4 full size cheeks, two in the right place and two popping out under the leg band. Since this look is a bit less than flattering, I will order a size up before my follow up review and then compare the two sizes.

Even being a bit too tight, they were wearable and very comfortable. The leg bands did not feel tight and I could wear these on my skinny feeling days when having a couple added cheeks might not be so noticeable. The lace is very soft and smooth, but will catch on hangnails and fingernails.

Care & Storage:
Hand wash in cool water with a mild detergent. I use Dona Lingerie Wash, but you can use Woolite or a gentle detergent as well. Rinse them well and then let air dry. Do NOT toss these panties in the dryer!
The heat from the dryer will melt the nylon and you will end up with a small ball of black blob of what used to be lace.

I store these in my lingerie drawer. I do put them back inside the plastic bag they arrived in to prevent snags to the lace. This also makes them easy to find for the impromptu seductions as well. See, there are ulterior motives to my storage options!!

These are really cute, but if you are within the upper measurements of the size chart, get the larger size. I need to grab the larger size since these tend to give me a serious muffin top.
