The Red Lace Crotchless Panty from Coquette is a soft, lacy crotchless panty that comes in two sizes, One Size Fits Most and Plus Size, but even though it fit, it didn't impress me. The lace is soft, which is something I expect now from Coquette, it's just not soft for where it sits on me. I do like how it looks on me (I have to admit that), but there were some sizing issues. It may be because I'm a big girl without a flat stomach.

This crotchless panty is made out of nylon, a material that can be washed in sudsy water, so you're better off washing it by hand. Scouring will probably make it fall apart. Unlike the rest of the panties, the waistband doesn’t exactly stretch enough for me. I'm a plus size girl and it’s a little snug.

The panties come in a clear square package that says it's resealable. Attached to the panties by a tiny piece of black plastic and some black ribbon, is a card that shows a model wearing it in different colors, and the company name – Coquette. On the back is the serial number, size, color, how to wash it in signs, and their web site. You can use this package to store it (I'm going to), or you can just put it wherever you store your panties.

The panties come in red, white, fuchsia, and black. I chose red because I believe that red looks sexier on me. The design has lace flowers with a little red bow on front in the middle; the crotchless area has two pieces of lace that separates.

These fit slightly snug on me, which I don't mind as I would rather have them snug than falling off my body. The measurements for Plus Size are between 42 to 56. My hip measurement is 52 inches. This puts me under “Queen One Size” on their sizing chart. The panties fit me fine.

The slit can be opened, since it overlaps, so you have to use your hands or he/she can use their hands to open the slit, to get to your crotch. You can wear them during sex, no doubt about that. After all, the panties are made to be crotchless.

Well, when I got my crotchless panties, I was a little nervous. I have never had a pair and figured hey, this may be a good time to finally try them. Guess what? I hate them. I wouldn't have minded so much if I hadn't felt like I was going to rip my lady parts while taking the panties off.

I put them on and they were comfy. I even found them to be sexy on me . . . until I moved. When I did, the crotchless part went right into my own slit. I don't know what was worse, having to reach down my jeans while I was standing in front of a window with the curtains wide open, or the fact that it actually hurt when that happened. I had to constantly readjust the panties while trying to wear them for my review.

When Andy, my husband, came home that night, I pulled my jeans down (having just fixed the panties) to show him what they looked like. His first reaction was to ask me where the rest of it was because he couldn't see the crotch part. I explained they were crotchless and he flat out said, "No babe, all I see is your crotch. Not the panties." I felt along and they were back up there. Once again, ouch. Needless to say, they were hand washed and put back into their package. I'll give them one more shot, but I really don't expect it to get better. I also had a few threads pop out, so I'm unsure if they will last long enough to try to enjoy them. I don't really like this pair.

Yeah, I have to admit I've washed them, but I haven't worn them again. I'm honestly scared of it riding up my crotch again and getting an infection where I'm so very prone to them.
