This is a lovely purple g-string made from polyester and spandex. The front of the g-string that goes over your crotch is a very transparent material that is very soft and almost smooth feeling with a little bit of a rough lace-like texture. There's also a lace-esque floral pattern across the top of the front of the g-string. The waist band is made from an opaque stretchy material that hugs the body comfortably.

It seems to be a very high quality g-string with the flower pattern sewn on nicely and no loose string or fraying ends anywhere. Even pulling a bit on the waistbands isn't making me feel like there's any risk of the material getting any tears or anything like that in it.

I got it in the XL size, and since it was much too small for me I had a friend who normally wears a medium/large size try them on. She said they fit comfortably, so they may run a bit small but there were no issues with them digging into her hips or any discomfort that can come from an ill-fitting g-string. If you lay them down flat and measure the waist it's about twelve inches, but I can stretch it out to almost twenty inches. That's just measuring it with the underwear flat down, holding the two sides of the waist band together, and stretching them out like that.

These are so lovely and would go well with any similar colored lingerie, or even with a cute bra under any outfit to make you feel a little more confident or sexy. Because the straps are so thin, wearing this means you don't get underwear lines in your pants, skirt, or dress.

If you've never worn a g-string before they are actually surprisingly comfortable. You do get a slight "wedgie" feeling at first but I always find that after ten or fifteen minutes I can hardly notice it at all anymore, and it's like a sexy little secret under my clothes.

Washing it is absolutely no problem at all. You can throw it into a bag for dedicates but I just threw it in a load with the rest of my laundry and it still came out looking exactly like it did before I threw it in. I just use a generic washing soap and fabric softener liquid.

I can't complain about this thong. It's gone through the washing machine several times and it still looks like new. The stitching and material are both of high quality.
