I absolutely love the look and the fit of these pink crotchless panties. They are comfortable, fit just right (XL), and didn't irritate my skin. This sometimes happens with certain lingerie, and I'm happy to say that these pair didn't give me a rash!

Now, I made a few mistakes with these panties that I really regret... Especially since they are absolutely gorgeous and comfortable to wear. The first thing I did wrong was wash it hot, and not cold, with my other clothes. Sometimes when you're doing laundry you just toss everything at once into the washer machine. I was in a hurry, threw my whole basket in, and left for work. Second mistake was telling my husband to put my whole load into the dryer. I didn't think to ask him to take out my underwear (I laid more than one pair of undies to rest... lol) I came home, pulled my panties out of the dryer and found them fraying at the edges and on the verge of death, so I simply put them to rest in the garbage. There isn't much you can do to revive lace.

So the most important thing to know about lace panties are:

1. The material CAN be machine washed... Just not with other clothes of extremely different materials (Ex: Jeans).
2. You should always wash panties in a lingerie bag. This is a net bag that protects your panties from getting caught on other clothes and falling apart. I have one, I just didn't use common sense.

3. You cannot wash lace on a hot/warm cycle setting. Always, always, always use a cold setting to ensure that the synthetic fibers don't shrink or get damaged.
4. Use a light laundry soap, such as Intimates or Cacique Lingerie Wash. If you don't have that, use your regular detergent watered down.

5. You should never dry lace panties in the dryer, or try to iron them for whatever reason. Not only do they not require ironing, but they also don't require a dryer. They can dry quickly and easily within a few minutes of being laid out on the dresser.

Other important info for you ladies is that you'll be happy to know these panties stay true to their size. I wear an L, but bought an XL thinking they ran small. To my surprise the XL was a little large. Not enough to fall off my bum but it was loose. I didn't quite mind because they still fit beautifully and comfortably. However, knowing that they actually ran in normal sizes, I would have gotten my normal choice of L.

These panties are also really easy to handwash. For those of you who live the dorm life, or live at home with nosey family/friends, you can easily wash these with lingerie wash in your own sink. I do this often with my lace panties because they are the most delicate. Since they are synthetic fibers they don't need as much washing and are easier to clean. So unless you have an entire basket of dirty lingerie, I recommend using your hands for these.

The crotch opening in these panties isn't really large enough to successfully have anal sex and vaginal sex. Since my panties were a size larger, anal worked for me - but I had to practically give myself a wedgie just to do so. It depends on the position, the size of the panties, and the shape of the girl. Everyone's bodies are different, so these may or may not work for you. Vaginal sex is easy, and these are comfortable to have sex in. No weird itchiness for your partner's dick, and no need to have to constantly spread apart the lace. These are easily spreadable, stay put, and work like a charm!

The open crotch has a really interesting design - it's crossed, rather than just opened. It makes a sort of diamond shape, in which your partner will enter through the middle. There isn't much of a need to spread the vaginal opening which is nice. It stays open on it's own for the most part. I only had to spread it once after I had been rolling around a lot.

I could imagine that this shape would work for everyone. It's large enough to fit two large (in circumference) dildos through the hole. But like I said, anal could be an issue for some.

The only thing that was uncomfortable about these panties was the tags on the back. They can easily be cut off, so it's not a big deal, but they are HELLA itchy. So be sure to cut those puppies off after reading.

One tag says:

Coquette

The other says:

Hand wash ONLY (Which I should have)
Cold water
Hang to dry

I love these panties so much, and I will definitely buy them again when I make my next order in the future. I will probably even buy all the colors! The pink was gorgeous, and actually a little darker than shown online, but still beautiful. I can only imagine how nice all the other colors are! A wonderful buy - just be sure to take care!

I got my second pair of panties, and after caring for them correctly I love these panties! They are really cute and add some spice to any lingerie top, and even look great worn alone. I love all the colors, especially the pink color. The black is "usual" for me so I avoided buying it.
