There is very little to the Obsessive Parisel panties, and that is the point. Sheer burgundy mesh sits low on the hips, narrowing to a V at the front and cut high at the sides. Above it two thin straps cross the waist, and between the two lines there is nothing but skin. The back is a tanga.
On the body
The mesh is transparent, so the burgundy reads as a tint over skin rather than a solid block of colour. Only the binding keeps the colour deep, and it traces every edge of the panel. Low at the front a black insert cuts across the burgundy. The gusset is burgundy like the rest of the fabric. At the back the cut leaves part of you bare: more than classic briefs, less than a thong.
The straps
They rise from the bound top edge at each hip and cross once at the front and once at the back, sitting noticeably higher than the mesh. That distance between the two lines is the whole design. Plain burgundy elastic, the same narrow width the whole way round.
Choosing a size
Three paired sizes: S/M, L/XL and 2XL/3XL. The straps sit at the waist and the mesh at the hip, so check both measurements against the Obsessive size chart instead of going by dress size.
Care
Hand wash at 20 to 30 °C with a mild detergent, or in a wash bag on a delicate programme. No bleach. Press the water out, dry flat away from sun and radiators, and do not tumble dry. It arrives in its original Obsessive box.
Frequently asked questions
Is the fabric see-through?
Yes. The mesh is fine enough that skin reads clearly through it.
How much does the back cover?
It is cut as a tanga. Part of the seat stays bare, so more than classic briefs and less than a thong.
