First impressions of these tights are a bit wary when you open the package to realize that you have to hand lace the tights. This starting task took me about 30 minutes. It is easy enough to do, but is easy to snag the loops that the ribbon goes through. The tights are a basic black tight made of nylon; the ribbon is a shiny black ribbon that you would see used in most ribbon crafting. I liked this idea due to the fact I wanted to switch the ribbon with other colors to match different lingerie sets. It comes in a basic plastic wrapping, so hiding it away is easy enough to do and they look like just a pair of sexier style stockings, rather then something from a sex shop.


I used the tights to match a black and silver accented chemise I had bought, and used them as stockings to connect into my garters. The ribbon can be laced several different ways, skipping a variation of loops to make them both the width and height you want. I'm a short girl, only about 5'1; I looped the ribbon, skipping one in between each lacing. This made them fit comfortably around my “thunder thighs” and come far enough up to connect into my garter clips without stretching out.


The stockings are easy enough to care for, I simply toss them into the wash after I wear them; although I haven't put them into the dryer because I prefer to hang wash them, so there is no shrinking. The nylon does snag a bit easily if you have a scratchy nail, so be careful when putting them on. I haven't had any problems with runs in them, which is a big fear when I spend a lot on a pair of tights. They seem to be on the sturdier side. The ribbon also seems to be tough without any snags on the ends. I love these tights, they are tough and sexy they go great with clothes in the bedroom, but also can go great with clothes to wear in public.

I have worn these with or without sexy lingerie. They look super cute matching a corset, or with a short mini skirt. The way these feel on the skin is amazing to even after being washed. Yes I put them in the washing machine, they remain smooth and soft. I have yet to get a run in them and I wear them pretty often, so the toughness is not in question in my mind. For the price, these remain a stand out to me.
