This didn't have much for packaging, coming in a small plastic bag. There was a tag safety pinned to the shorts that had the size, and a tag on the inside of the shorts does as well, and also lists the materials as well as care instructions. These shorts are 80% Nylon and 20% Spandex exclusive of the trim, and should be hand washed and hung to dry.

These are listed as a one size fits most item, which to Coquette's sizing chart on Eden means that your waist should be between 26-32" and your hips should be between 36-42". The newest chart on their site says that you should have a 28-30" waist and 38-40" hips. I'd put them more on par with the lower end of the original chart. These don't come up to my natural waist, but instead sit about where a pair of low rise jeans would, and that measures about 34" around. There was enough room for a little extra, but I had other issues with them that might make me suggest that you go for the plus size if you're any bigger than me.

All you're getting here is the single pair of boyshorts. If you've had any experience with any of the other Wet Look items from Coquette, you'll have a good idea of what to expect with these. If you haven't, I'll try to explain them. If you look right at the shorts, they have quite a shine and almost appear to be wet, hence the "wet look." They're soft to the touch and smooth, and do provide a decent amount of stretch.

The style is a simple boyshort design, although I might call them cheekies more than boyshorts since they do sit rather high up on the behind. My butt measures about 38" around, so the size of your butt may have something to do with how much cheek shows. The waistband measures about 14 1/2" across when laid flat and stretches up to about 17 1/4". Both sides are about 5" tall and the crotch is about 2 3/4" across. There is a crotch liner, which is something nice to see.

When you look at them they do look pretty well made. There aren't any loose or fraying threads, but I've found that if you stretch the waistband, you can hear the threads holding the trim on snap. Do this more than once and you get the trim separating from the body of the shorts. This is a big deal because the waistband is kind of important. If you don't pull them quite as far out as I did when I put them on, you may be able to avoid this, but I didn't think I was really putting them under any serious pressure. At least no worse than any other pair of underwear I wear. I had it pulled maybe an inch and a half away from me on either side. The material handled the stretch just fine, but the waistband, again, not as much.

Here are a few pictures of how it fits on me: (The white spots on the photo are actually spots of paint that are on my mirror, nothing on the shorts.

Overall I wasn't hugely thrilled with these. I mean, aside from the waistband issue there's really nothing wrong with them, I just felt a bit underwhelmed. They didn't frame my butt as nicely as some of my other boy shorts do, and I didn't find them as comfortable as some of my other underwear. I don't think these are going to get much use in my collection.
