The lingerie had a slight chemical smell like most new clothes do but I just hand washed and dried it before using it. I was surprised by how soft and stretchy it was. This fits up to 275 according to the package and I agree it could stretch to at least that and maybe even larger (around 300 ish pounds). It's crotch-less, which makes it even easier to use with toys/sex/masturbation. Panties can still be worn under it for the more modest minded user.

I like how it hugs my body and makes it feel like I have clothes on even though it is very sheer due to the pattern. Before my first body stocking (from another site) I thought these look terrible on everyone, especially larger women but I was completely wrong and I feel very sexy in this. It helps boost my confidence by being form fitting but still covering things you maybe don't feel comfortable showing.

The quality is quite good for the price but the straps could be stronger and the crotch stitched a bit more just in case to prevent easy ripping. It could worn under a dress or skirt in replacement of stockings/tights/hose. Which might be a fun way to wear something a little kinky in public that appears vanilla and isn't obvious that the person is in fact wearing lingerie. It breathes well and doesn't feel itchy so long term wear is entirely possible. If you're curious about extremely light bondage (or bondage clothes like latex) or comfortable but "snug" clothing this might be an extremely small easy way to see if you would indeed like something that feels like you are being "hugged" without feeling too scary or suffocated.

Beware of the toys or jewelry while wearing this because it can snag on the material and rip it (it happen to me with clamps and I freaked out a tiny bit). Thankfully it did not rip but still a rather close call.

I still enjoy this body stocking. It's very soft, stretchy, sexy and a perfect item for plus size women that could easily fit women that are much larger than I am.
