Intro
I have always been a fan of lingerie, and one of the things I wanted to try was latex. Unfortunately, my wife and I discovered that she was allergic to latex, so my plans for that was dashed. However, I discovered these shorts on Eden, and they somewhat look like latex, so they caught my attention. As soon as I saw that Eden also offered matching stockings, I had to have them, along with quite a few great reviews of the items.

Material / Texture
These shorts are made out of 80% nylon and 20% spandex. Unfortunately for my wife, she is allergic to a lot of things, and nylon panties seem to cause her to have UTI's more often. Since I really wanted her to have these, I came up with a good solution to protect her. She just placed a small amount of toilet paper between her lips and the shorts, and this stayed in place until we removed it when I unzipped the shorts.

Shape / Design / Size / Fit
Since my wife has been a size medium for a long time, including her Victoria's Secret panties, I figured she would be a medium in this. But after reading more lingerie reviews recently, I was starting to wonder if she would be a small. Then after seeing and reading ¡Sam (aka Jul!a) and sexyintexas reviews, I decided that she would probably be a small. I still wasn't 100% sure, but I decided to go for it, and it didn't help that I have only ordered one other piece of lingerie from Eden, and it was a one size. I am glad I did order the small. According to Coquette's size chart, a small should be a 4-6, with a 26-28 inch waist, and 36-38 inch hips. My wife is usually a 4-6, with a 28 inch waist, and 38 inch hips.

She fit the small perfectly, and there was a little extra gap in the center of her lower ass (she has a small ass). She was able to move around comfortably in them, and she liked them. She said they were catwoman like. Meow! The booty shorts measure 13 inches across the top, 8 inches from top to crotch bottom, the crotch is 3 inches wide, and they are 4 inches long at the sides.

The front garters were easy to attach to the wet look stockings, but the rear were a little more difficult. And then when she walked across the apartment, both rear garters popped off. I think for the stockings with these garters, since my wife is 5'9", she is at the upper range for this combo. However, one garter wasn't full extended, and I'm not sure where this one garter in particular was, but when she was putting on the stockings, she already "broke" one of the garters. And what I mean is that there is a piece of fabric sewed to the black garter that clips, and when this fabric separated, the garter attachment fell apart. It was easy to fix, but this could be a culprit as well. The garters also pulled the top of the shorts down slightly, probably due to my wife's height.

The shorts feature an almost full zipper from front to back, with it stopping only about 3.5 inches from the rear top of the shorts. The zipper is a fun addition, allowing the wearer to show a little or a lot, and allowing easier egress while in the heat of the moment. The zipper worked as advertised, and with the attached ring, I was able to unzip them with my teeth as she held the top of the shorts with her hands.

Care and Maintenance
There was no written information for care on these, but the packaging appears to say clean only by hand wash, and then hang up to dry. Since we have a new wash machine that has a hand wash cycle, I just threw these shorts and the stockings in on a cold cycle. Once it was finished, I allowed them to hang up to dry. For storage, we have a box in the closet that we place our folded up lingerie in.

Packaging
The shorts came on a plastic hanger, with a Coquette heart in the middle, and this was inside of a plastic bag. The shorts had attached the garters in another small plastic bag, and a small label showing the shorts on a model, with the matching wet look top (which Eden doesn't offer) and fishnets. Simple packaging that will be recycled.

I still like how these look, along with the fun zipper and garters. But unfortunately, they don't get the use that I would like. It is probably a combination of a few factors. 1, due to the material, my wife can't wear them all day long without wanting to scratch herself due to allergies. 2, my wife isn't exactly gun-ho on lingerie for some strange reason. And 3, they are tucked into a closet in a different room in a plastic container, where she really doesn't see them. I would love her putting them on for me inside the house for fun, or even wearing them out as a naughty secret under her plain clothes, but these are my fantasies, not hers.
