Like so many women, I'm always looking to expand my underwear collection. I ordered these hoping I would have found the perfect basic black thong: all for 5 bucks!

The outside of the package features the woman on the product page. Inside it the thong is folded up with a piece of cardboard.





Materials

This thong is made out of nylon and spandex. Spandex is incredibly stretchy, which gives this a comfortable snug fit without feeling tight.

Experience

When I opened up the packaging and took the thong out, I was shocked at just how sheer the fabric was. I knew that the "fishnet" fabric had a sheer quality, but the level of sheerness shocked me. I'm just going to be perfectly honest and say it outright. When I'm wearing this thong, you can see my labia. Heck, you can see my freckles! There is absolutely no covering. It's basically just a shaded version of me naked. If you're looking for something modest that offers any sort of covering, keep on looking. This thong isn't going to provide it.



This picture is my attempt to show you the sheerness of the fabric. I didn't take any pictures of the thong on me because I wasn't comfortable appearing essentially nude on the internet. My 2 fingers are clearly visible through the fabric.



The lace detail on the waist is a surprisingly good quality considering the price. I own quite a few of Gilligan O'Malley thongs (from Target) and the lace is of the same quality. It does have a few lose threads at the top, but it doesn't seem like it's unraveling or anything.

The lace waist starts right at the top of my pubic bone when I'm wearing it. It's a little more low-rising than I'm used to. Personal grooming might be a bit of an issue with this underwear. If you prefer a bare look, you should be fine. However, if you keep a landing strip, you may find that this thong doesn't completely cover it. The strip may peek out from the top due to how low it goes.

This thong doesn't wiggle around much. I've worn it to work and it was really comfortable. It stays in place without getting that butt floss/wedgie feeling some thongs can give you.

I wear a size small (a size 5 jean in real life) and it fit me really well. I've had some past issues with things either being way too big or way too small, but this really was a true fit.

The best part about this underwear is that you can just throw it in the washing machine on cold. I know a lot of people don't like to wash anything with lace in the washer because it tends to get torn up and get loose threads faster, but this underwear does not. I love the low-maintenance aspect. If it ever starts to wear away (which it still hasn't after about 9 washes in the machine and dryer) then I'll be glad to buy another pair from here.

When I was wearing this under my clothes, I felt great. It wasn't itchy or tight and it didn't move around while I was wearing it. The minute that I took off my pants, however, I was uncomfortable with just how much of me was on display. If I wanted to be naked from the waist down, I wouldn't wear underwear.

When I am wearing underwear, I expect some sort of covering. However, these are so cheap and so comfortable that I'm probably going to turn these into an everyday staple thong. I'll just make sure that I keep my pants on when I'm wearing them

While I'm still not a fan of just how sheer it is, it's a great add-on to a purchase. If you're a few dollars short of free shipping, add this one to your cart. It's a great laundry day thong or something to just wear around. While it's not the sexiest underwear I own, it's definitely a staple that I can use. While I wouldn't recommend buying it as lingerie, if you're just looking for some cheap underwear or something to bump you up to free shipping, give it a go. Otherwise, I'd give this one a pass. While there's nothing terrible about it, there's really nothing I particularly like about it.
