Bas wetlook grande taille noirs, Lovehoney

I bought these to go with an outfit I bought off here.

The look of them on is lush and the fit is perfect! I have big thighs, but they don't cut in or feel tight at all!

Only downfall for these is the toes area. They are built for elf feet! But I just tucked it inside and they look normal now. But I'm definitely going to stitch them up when they are tucked in and make a new seam so they stay like that and cut the excess off as it's not comfortable walking with extra bit of material around the inside. Other than this I would still recommend them!

Thank you Lovehoney for sending me these Lovehoney Plus Size Wet Look Thigh High Stockings! In exchange for an honest review, I have been gifted with the most spectacular pair of stockings!

The item arrived in standard discreet packaging. I love the fact that my items arrive and the postman has no idea what naughty gifts he's delivering!

The packaging of the item is simple with clear diagrams as to how the product should look when on.

The stockings are made of a good quality wet look material, and though they initially appeared as if they would be quite taut they have quite a lot of give! The amount of stretch is perfect as otherwise they would be very difficult to pull up. Furthermore, the stretch makes them less likely to slip. In fact, I was able to wear them without suspenders and they stayed in place quite well.

If you are a fan of wet look items, this is a product you simply must own! My partner and I were utterly ecstatic by how well they fit and how FABULOUS they looked!

If I'm being niggly, the shape of the toe is a bit odd. It creates a funny point at the end of your big toe, which is reminiscent of an elf shoe. However, with a pair of heels that can be easily hidden!

Firstly, I'm always overjoyed to find a pair of LH stockings that can cope with my size 16 thighs without leaving me with muffin-tops. The tops of these stockings were actually baggy, which was a nice problem to have for once. Sadly, though, they were a bit baggy in other places too, specifically around my ankles, which felt a bit weird, but thankfully didn't look too bad.

I would say, though, that these really do need to be worn with shoes or boots, and the seam around the toes is just downright bizarre: it runs under the middle of your foot and terminates in a point in front of your third toe, making you look like you are wearing a fancy pair of pointy slippers. When you are used to wearing conventional stockings with a horizontal seam across your toes, this does feel as weird as it looks. It is just a peculiar fit as well as appearance.

Seams aside, they looked great on, and I would much rather stockings were slightly too big than too small, so I will most definitely be wearing them again to finish off a wet-look outfit.

I am a hold-up girl. I really am; they are easy and I am lazy. But I love the look of stockings and suspenders so I jumped at the chance to test these to see if I could change my ways.

The first, and hopefully obvious, thing about these is that they do not come with a suspender belt so if you don't already have something, you will need to buy a suspender belt or similar.

Putting the stockings on, they cling to my legs without feeling tight. I am a size 18 and just under 5ft5 and they fit me quite well. There is some stretch to them so they will fit larger or longer legs than mine. I do have a slight problem with there being a little excess material, particularly around the feet (I am a size 5). I would recommend pulling them on slowly and tightly as it can be a little hard to pull up any excess material once they are fully on. The material is pretty durable, so you won't need to worry about ripping these easily. I may just need to experiment with different lengths of suspender strap as I think that would help.

I wore the stockings around the house for around eight hours and they remained comfortable the entire time. They are thicker than your average hosiery, but they never became too hot.

I really love the wet look design of these. They look shiny without looking cheap and tacky. They are definitely a kinkier look than you get from most stockings, which means they are highly unlikely to be an everyday wear kind of pair. But they are great for completing an outfit.

My wife wore these for me and although I enjoyed the look and feel, she didn't like the way the toes and heel sat and found them uncomfortable to wear for any length of time even though she is only a size 6.

We have several wet look items and felt a little let down by this purchase. Delivery was great as always and we have brought other items since.
