These are a nice pair of lace topped fence net stockings. They're fairly goo quality, sturdy fence net, and if you treat them right they shouldn't rip for a good long time.

They are not stay up stockings, meaning you will need a garter belt with them (but let's face it, those stay up stockings dig uncomfortably into thighs and never stay up anyway, so I'd rather a garter belt anyway). Their wide fence net design means that even though one's toes probably will pop through their far less likely to give your toes the painful "strangling" that popping through a regular fishnet will. The lace top is soft and excellent, and the material is stretchy and of good quality.

I'd not put these through the was, as it's definitely better to hand wash stockings. They've stood up to numerous wearing on my part and the sturdy nylon has maintained it's stretch and not ripped (and I'm prone to ripped stockings) so in general these are definitely an excellent buy. I'm tall and slim and they fit very nicely on me, someone on the large side might find them a bit snug but they are quite stretchy. They're appropriate for either gender (if you're into that sort of thing or happen to play in a rocky horror cast) and generally are just a very nice pair of fence net stockings.

Another nice feature of these is that unlike fishnet (which is surprisingly insulating) these are verry very cool and comfortable even in the summer heat.

The material of the stocking bit is fairly thick, but the lace top is very thin and is wonderfully easy to get attached to a garter belt, so there's no worrying about finding a special garter for a thick top here, not to mention the price is just wonderful.

These have held up to washing both hand and machine and quite a lot of use. These are very close to my favorite pair of stockings. I love these. They're very comfortable and very sexy. They've not torn or run yet.
