As someone who has probably about a hundred pairs of panties, it's really rare for me to find a pair that seems all that different from what I already own. This pair, however, stood out with their unique feature of a chain crotch. I know what you're thinking -- a chain?! Won't it pull hair? Won't it feel cold? Those were my concerns to -- and the answers are, no, it won't pull hair. Yes, it will feel slightly cold, for just about a minute.

Now, let me tell you a bit about these sexy panties!

Basics:
The chain panties by Coquette are truly unique. Rather than having a crotch, or being just crotchless, the panties have a chain. They're available in two sizes: one size fits most, and one size-XL.

Material & Care:
The panties are made out of 80% Nylon and 20% Spandex, exclusive of the trim.

There are a few different parts to this pair of panties --

There's the opaque waistband, which is the wetlook material. It's shiny, sleek, and smooth. The waistband is very stretchy, so these panties should stretch to fit many different individuals. A drawback to the waistband is that there's no real elastic in it. This means that if you're on the lower end of the size chart, or even a hint below it, there's nothing that's really going to hold the panties up on you, whereas having an elastic band inside of the waistband would've made the panties more likely to stay up on someone who's on the smaller end of the size chart.

Next up, we have the floral lace. The lace is, of course, sheer. It's a comfortable, stretchy lace, but it does seem to snag on things with ease. Also, the edges on the lace are not finished, so they may start fraying quickly.

Finally, we have the chain. I'm not sure what type of metal the chain is made out of, as it doesn't say. It's silver in color, and it's extremely lightweight. I worry that moisture might lead the chain to rust overtime, but time shall tell.

Design:
The panties are sexy because they take the sexy, boldness of the wetlook material, and combine it with the elegance of lace.

The panties are designed so that they dip down a bit in the front, while still providing full frontal coverage. The back, however, is designed to reveal your ass.

The chain crotch of the panties will probably end up going between your cheeks, depending on how you choose to wear the panties.

Sizing:
The panties are available in two sizes: one size fits most, and one size XL. I purchased the one size XL, which is different than Coquette's standard XL.

According to the size chart, a one size XL should fit someone with a 32-40" waist, and 42-50" hips.

I have a 32" waist, and 40" hips, so I am below the size chart. However, I was worried about getting muffin top with the one size fits most.

These panties fit me okay, but they are definitely a bit lose. I think that they should fit everyone that the size chart says they will, due to how stretchy the fabric is.

Unstretched, the waistband measures 17.5" inches. Stretched, it measures 25".

Quality:
If there's one thing that I wasn't concerned about with these panties (before buying them), it was the quality. The panties are made by Coquette, and Coquette is usually very high quality. I had little doubt that these panties would be worth the price tag. Sadly, however, I discovered that these panties were fairly overpriced for the quality that you get.

The material is thin, the edges on the lace are unfinished, and the sewing is questionable. The area where the chain is attached to the fabric seems particularly poor, in regards to sewing quality.

The panties are surprisingly comfortable. I did find that the chain feels slightly cool at first, but it doesn't last long, and it's really not very annoying. The chain is quite comfortable, though I wouldn't wear these panties for everyday use. They're great in the bedroom, however.

I'm iffy on these panties. The idea behind them is really sexy, but they just look a bit cheap. If only they were made a bit better...
