These panties are a nice basic bikini cut, done with black lace. They came packaged like so:



Generally I don't wear bikini-cut underwear, I prefer boyshorts to every other style. However, these are a nice change of pace, and the cinching up the middle of the bum actually has a flattering look on my body.

In terms of sizing, I really love how they are not One Size Fits All, they come in actual sizes. However, it would be wonderful if these were available in sizes above an XL. I ordered these in a large, as I generally wear underwear and bottoms in a large. These fit very comfortably and true to size. I have 38 inch hips and these fit me very nicely, not too big or too small.

The texture of the lace itself is not stiff, dry, or scratchy, which is a concern I have with lace. There is not itching on your skin when you wear these, the lace is soft and smooth. There is a small cotton crotch panel in these, but it is a bit small.

While these probably won't be the greatest pair of underwear you own, they are pretty decent for about $8 a pair. At the very least, these go nicely as a basic black lace panty with some of my lingerie sets that came with weird panties that weren't as flattering. Also, wearing these you could definitely risk pantylines, so you should consider that if it is something that bothers you.

One issue that I kind of had - and maybe it's just because I am so used to the boyshort cut underwear I am used to wearing in a specific, plain style - was when I first put these on. I didn't really notice it much while I was wearing them throughout the day, but while the cinching on the back is adorable, I felt like it was giving me a bit of a wedgie when I first put them on. Regardless, these are sexy and simple, and have visual value at the very least.

When I ordered these panties, I ordered both this pair AND the Coquette Holiday Stretch Panty. I was very excited for the Holiday panty, since it is also lace, but a boyshort style with cute little bows on the front. Well, I hated the Holiday panty, the fit of it was terrible - and it was One Size Fits All! If you are looking for a cute, comfortable fitting lace panty on EF, I would say go with these. I never even wear bikini-cut underwear, and I prefer these a hundred times over. The sizing is comfortable, and the lace does not seem so fragile that I'd be worried that it could rip at any moment. However, with that said, I would still handwash these, or at least put them in a delicates bag in the washing machine. Unlike the Holiday panty, these do not feel as though they may tear while putting them on, but they are still made of lace and should be handled gently. These are even a few dollars cheaper than the Holiday panty!
