TLL Adult Review: Lace Top Thigh Highs
| Hot: |  | | |  | |
SexToys carries lingerie and hosiery, too! After receiving this assignment, the Queen Sized Stay Up Black Lace Top Thigh Highs, I agonized over when I would give these a trial run. I didn’t want to just try them out randomly if I didn’t have anywhere to go. Where’s the fun in that? And then weeks went by and I had nowhere to go. Halloween was approaching. I thought, perhaps I would go as Frankie from Rocky Horror. The sad truth is that this did not happen. I could have, I have most of the pieces for that costume, including some truly fabulous silver leather heels, but I was scheduled to work till midnight on Halloween at the porn shop. So, Halloween fell through for me.
But it did not fall through for my brother. My brother had a plethora of parties to attend with his friends who are still at the local college, and had decided to be Eddie Izzard for Halloween, but was still working on his outfit. He was aiming for the look on the Sexie promotional poster. I loaned him a corset and skirt that we both alarmingly fit into quite well, and these thigh highs! What else is a good sister for? He already had the heels, leather jacket, makeup and British accent* for the costume, so it all worked out quite well.

He had lots and lots to say about the stockings. And he took pictures of his legs in them. When he put them on, his initial thoughts were that they stayed up really well and didn’t feel like he was wearing any stockings at all. However, when he came home from partying around, he was singing a different tune. He still liked the stockings, but they’d slid down to his knees from where they had been, very high up on his thighs. He said, more or less word for word, this: “They seemed good at first, if you’re not going to be walking around a lot. However, if you plan to walk ten blocks in heels, be thrown out of a house party, walk some more, get thrown out of the same party a second time, go find your friends, and then walk another zillion blocks to the party where you should have been to begin with, they’re gonna fall down. I suggest garters.” So, the silicone grippies only work for the first few blocks, if you plan to take the party for a long walk, get a garter belt.
He also noted that they’re particularly difficult to tear or cause a run in. He was scratching his calf with the heel of his shoe, and did not cause a run. I’m impressed. Additionally, my brother is a big, tall guy. His legs are more slender than mine, but still thick, and the stockings fit him really well and went higher on his thigh than on the girl in the promotional image on the site and package. I washed them and tried them on myself for size and fit purposes, and I really like them, too. My legs are thicker than his, and while they didn’t go up quite as high on my leg as his, they still fit comfortably enough and could easily be used with a garter belt.
