I've had these for about 2 years now. When my boyfriend first bought them for me I loved them and wore them a lot, they are defiantly my style.The packaging says these are a "one size fits most" When I got them I was a size 00, 0 or 1 depending on the store. Then I gained weight and a few sizes. They looked great up until about size 3, once I hit size 5 I stopped wearing them because they started to make my legs look like a tied up ham. So now that I'm the size of a normal adult woman albeit still short, at 5'1 and 135lbs (a size medium) and not the size of a 20 year old model 110lbs or less , they make me feel and look a bit silly. If you are model thin go for it, otherwise I'd hold off because they can cut curves in all the wrong places; up and down your thighs! now i no longer have the packaging but i'm still fairly certain i would be well within their size limits so while these DO stretch because of the spandex in them they still are really a size extra small or small, or you MIGHT get lucky if you are on the small end of a medium.

These are made of a nylon and spandex blend so they are a bit stretchy and the material is comfy, close to any average pair of pantyhose but more give which equals more comfort. The material is sort of in between opaque and see through so if you are like me and you like to wear leggings on their own, don't. You will need a skirt or shorts or some ripped up jeans to go over these if you don't want everyone seeing your undies, of course if you are something like a go go dancer that's not a problem but for the rest of us I strongly suggest wearing a cute skirt or something over top.

When these get dirty I wash them the same way I do all of my stockings and most of my undies. I have a little lingerie bag I put them in, most stores sell them even Wal-Mart. I recommend investing in one, they really keep your stockings and lacy undies from getting snagged or tangled so they won't get ruined and you don't have to do them in a whole separate load. I use regular detergent any brand and fabric softener in the washer. I also use a cup of ammonia in every load (except my whites because you cant mix it with bleach) it kills bacteria and therefore is amazing at removing odors. Ammonia may smell gross when you put it in the wash but it dries odorless and really helps to get the dirt out and the musty, or otherwise yucky smells that your stockings, socks, undies, bathing suits and towels sometimes get. Just throw it in the washer first then throw in the clothes and detergent on top or if you have a front loader just run it through the detergent slot after the detergent. It really helps to clean undies lingerie and anything that may have gotten sweaty.

If you plan on wearing these just in the bedroom remember they are like traditional leggings or stockings and you will need to take them off before you can get busy. You COULD always just pull them down but then they may get in the way, unless you are a guy or you cut a hole in the crotch but I don't suggest that because it will more likely than not ruin them and make them into a one time use item.
