These thigh high stockings are definitely unique and attention grabbing. When paired with a pair of black patent heels they really have a great sexy thigh high boot-like look. They are also very warm. Though they may have the look of latex or rubber, they are much more breathable. Because of the material, and the foot and ankle being shaped, there can be some excess fabric in those areas giving a bit of an odd look. But it's hardly noticeable, particularly with heels. But because of that I would suggest planning on wearing these with some matching heels. Without, they can look a bit odd around the foot. They look best with black patent heels, but red could have a sexy eye-catching look as well.

They may not quite feel as smooth as a pair of silky nylons, but they definitely have a sexy look. My husband loves when I wear them as there is nothing quite like them in my wardrobe. It's always fun and refreshing to really change things up, and these stockings will do that!

There are no stay-up silicone or rubber strips at the thighs. Even without that they stayed up quite well on my legs, and I usually have problems. However, if I am going to wear them for a longer period I would probably pair them with a garter. I was concerned the garter fastening straps may not work well with that material these stockings are made out of. They are a bit thicker, but the garter straps fastened and stayed just fine.

Laundry is pretty simple and just like any other pair of stockings that I own. I simply throw them in a delicates mesh bag and run them through the washing machine on the gentle cycle. Then let them hang to dry. Because they are a bit thicker, they do take a bit longer to dry.
