FAQ

I don’t know my size, which size should I choose?

Please see our SIZE CHART

What is the difference between a closed gusset and a press stud opening gusset?

The gusset is the strip of fabric at the crotch of the garment. We offer the standard briefs with a choice of two gusset options.

The first being the closed option, this means the crotch is one continual strip of fabric and the garment is all-in-one much like a leotard or a swimsuit. The second option is the opening version and this means the strip of fabric at the crotch undoes conveniently for calls of nature and fastens securely again with plastic press studs/snap fasteners. We also offer the thong-g-string which is great if you're concerned about visible pantylines.

I wear size 12 tops yet have size 16 hips, which size would fit me best?

Due to the stretch in our stockings it’s usually best to go for the slightly smaller size if in doubt. If you're concerned about a garment being too restrictive at the hips, we would recommend opting for a thong style as this design has more stretch and allowance in this area.

I am very long/short in the body. I often have problems when buying swimwear and lingerie, will your stockings fit me?

Our stockings are designed on the ‘average’ body length and we have listened to customer feedback and have had to alter them over the years to find this average. We have found the average measurement to be between 18 and 19 inches. We take this measurement from centre under bust down to centre crotch between the legs.

How do I see the prices in my country’s currency? 

Whether on mobile or desktope you can find a little button in the bottom left corner of your screen. Clicking this button will you give you the option to find and select your chosen currency.

I am looking for a stocking to match my complexion but I can’t decide which would suit me best as my arms, face and tummy are all slightly different shades. How can I decide this?

This is quite normal and when choosing a stocking we need to remember that the eye unconsciously compares the colour to other close-by visible skin. So you will need to match it to your arms, chest etc. not your tummy for your stocking to go unnoticed. (If you are likely to use self tanning products before a performance you might want to bear this in mind when choosing your stocking.)

Please remember when testing your swatches that mesh appears darker in colour when at ease, therefore it will need to be stretched over your tummy and only then compared to your arms etc. to ensure a good match. Due to its translucent nature it blends with your own natural skin shade to create the final colour. As an example, the overall appearance of the same stocking may look quite dissimilar when worn by two individuals with different skin tones.
