The Garter Panty by Coquette is available in sizes S-XL. I ordered the size XL. The item arrived in a clear plastic bag. There was only a small barcode sticker on the bag stating the product name, size, and colour. Attached to the panty was a cardboard tag. The tag had a few photos of a model wearing the piece and stated the product name, size, colour, company name, and company website. I store my garter panty in my underwear drawer.

There were two care instruction tags in the panty and they both gave different material composition percentages. The one tag states that the panty is 80% nylon and 20% spandex. The other tag states that the product is 90% nylon and 10% spandex. While it’s not a huge difference, this may be important to someone. The tag that states 90/10 is a tag I’ve never seen before on a Coquette product so I believe the 80/20 percentages is the correct one. The material is very stretchy and is not sheer. The material does not become sheerer the more it is stretched.

I’ve taken a few measurements but if you require additional measurements, let me know and I’ll get them for you.

Waistband unstretched: 14 ¾ inches
Waistband stretched as much as I could: 29 ½ inches
Length of panty (taken down side, not including trim): 1 ¾ inches
Length of adjustable garter straps: 6-10 inches





The garter panty is one piece. It’s a panty that looks as though you’re wearing a purple garter belt, but it’s just the top of the panty. There are 4 detachable garter straps: 2 in the front, and 2 in the back. Being able to detach the garter straps is really nice because this gives you the option to wear the panty as regular underwear or as a garter belt panty. Also, if you have garter straps that you prefer over the ones included, you can always change them. The included garter straps are plastic with rubber backings.

The panty is bikini-style (covers the bum). The main colour of the panty is black. The purple material with the floral lace pattern is at the top but does not continue to the back of the panty. However, the mesh ruffled trim along the bottom of the “garter belt” does continue to the back of the panty. The trim is approximately 1 inch in length. The purple in the above photos is with the flash off and natural light shining on the product. Below is a photo of the panty with the flash on. The colour in the photo below is a bit darker purple and is closer to the actual colour than the above photos.



At the centre top of the panty, there is a small bow (1 ½ inches wide) made of ribbon. Beneath this bow is a cut out to the panty. The cut out helps give the appearance that you’re wearing two pieces (panty and garter belt) instead of just one. The cut out is in the shape of an eye and measures 5 inches wide and 1 ¾ inches long (unstretched).

I purchased the garter panty because I have so many thigh high stockings with bands that roll and slip down my legs. I was looking for a garter belt that I could wear beneath my clothing to hold my stockings up so I needed a garter belt with little decoration. I didn’t want to have something bulky beneath my clothing because it would have looked odd.

A lot of the garter belts that I was interested in were only offered in one-size-fits-most. When I found this garter panty, I figured it would be perfect because it’s offered in my size (XL), didn’t look bulky, and was cute at the same time. With the simplicity of the design and its attractive appearance, it’s perfect to wear in both the bedroom or beneath a skirt while out in public.

The garter panty fit me really well. It covered my bum well, only leaving a bit of bum cheek poking out the sides. The mesh trim is very soft and thin so it doesn’t create any bulky look under clothing. The only thing that protrudes from the panty is the bow but it’s not very much. The bow could be removed if you found it a problem.

The garter straps held up my stockings very well. Of course, I’m comparing this to wearing no garter straps at all since this is my first garter “belt”. I’m really happy with their performance though! I also really like the way the panty looks on me. The cut out at the front of the panty will take some getting used to, but it’s comfortable and has a unique look to it.

The material to the panty is comfortable and soft against the skin. The mesh trim is ridiculously soft and non-irritating. The care tag states that the panty should be hand washed only and hung to dry.

Overall, I’m very happy with my purchase. The panty fits great, it’s comfortable, and it can be worn with or without the garter straps. My favourite colour is purple so I love the purple in the panty but I’d definitely purchase a few more of these panties if they were available in other colours. It’s a shame that the panty is not available in larger sizes to accommodate plus sized figures.

I still love the Garter Panty! I've thrown it in the wash many times since the original review and it has held up perfectly. I'm surprised that it's been discontinued. It's an excellent panty/garter belt, great quality, and adorable. I'm happy I purchased it before it became discontinued.
