XtoysLace by LJ Rhinestone Crotchless Bodystocking Review
Editor's opinion
This is a dramatic, sparkle-heavy bodystocking rather than an everyday lingerie basic. It suits anyone in the UK 8-12 band who wants a genuine statement piece for a special occasion, though the glass rhinestones and nylon blend mean it needs careful hand washing and a gentle touch.
A rhinestone bodystocking is a piece designed to be seen. This one from Lace by LJ leans fully into that idea, setting glass stones across a stretchy nylon body so the whole thing glints as you move. It is less about subtle everyday wear and more about making an entrance for a particular evening.
What a buyer should weigh is whether the sizing suits them, whether the open-crotch cut is what they want, and whether they are happy to look after glass-set delicate fabric properly. Get those three things right and it does exactly what it sets out to do.
The good and the bad
What works
- Glass rhinestones give real, light-catching sparkle rather than flat printed shine
- Nylon and spandex blend stretches to move with the body
- Open crotch keeps it practical and easy to wear
- No batteries, charging or maintenance beyond washing
- A genuine statement piece for a special occasion
What to be aware of
- One-size fit only covers UK 8-12, so it excludes many shapes
- Hand wash only, which is more upkeep than machine-washable pieces
- Glass stones on delicate fabric demand gentle handling to avoid snags
- A dramatic look that suits occasions more than everyday wear
Buy it if
Anyone in the UK 8-12 range who wants a bold, shimmering piece for a special evening in and does not mind hand washing to keep it looking its best.
Skip it if
Those outside the UK 8-12 band, or anyone wanting something low-maintenance and machine washable. If you prefer understated everyday lingerie, a plain lace or fishnet style will serve you better.
Design And Materials
The body is a 95% nylon, 5% spandex blend, which is the standard recipe for bodystockings: soft, thin and stretchy enough to hug the figure closely. The defining feature is the scattering of glass rhinestones set across the fabric. Glass, rather than plastic or foil, is what gives real sparkle and a proper reflective glint under low lighting.
That glass detail is also the thing to be mindful of. Stones set on fine stretch fabric add points where the material can catch or pull, so this is a piece to treat as delicate rather than throw on carelessly. The open crotch is a functional design choice that keeps the piece uncomplicated to wear.
Fit And Sizing
This is a one-size garment covering UK 8 to 12, roughly EU 36 to 40. The spandex content lets it stretch across that band and sit close to the body without feeling tight, but it is worth being realistic: one-size bodystockings suit the middle of their stated range most comfortably. At the very top of the band the stretch is doing more work, which can space out the fabric and the stones.
If you sit outside UK 8-12, this simply is not the right piece, and it would be wise to look for a brand offering a wider or plus range rather than hoping the stretch will accommodate you.
Care And Cleaning
The care instructions are strict for a reason. Hand wash only, no ironing, no tumble drying and no bleach. Fine nylon set with glass stones does not tolerate the heat and agitation of a machine, and heat can loosen the settings over time.
In practice that means a gentle wash in cool water by hand, then laying flat or hanging to dry away from radiators and direct heat. It is more effort than a machine-washable set, so factor that in if low maintenance matters to you.
How It Compares
Against a plain fishnet or lace bodystocking, the rhinestone version trades everyday practicality for pure visual drama. A plain style is easier to care for and more versatile; this one is a special-occasion piece first and foremost.
Compared with other embellished bodystockings, the use of glass rather than plastic stones is the meaningful difference, as it genuinely catches light better. The trade-off is that glass stones want gentler handling than a printed or plain design ever would.
The bottom line
The Lace by LJ Rhinestone Crotchless Bodystocking delivers exactly what it promises: a light-catching, dramatic piece for a special evening. If you fall within UK 8-12 and are happy to hand wash and handle it gently, it is an easy recommendation as a statement item rather than an everyday one.
Frequently asked questions
What sizes does this bodystocking fit?
It is a one-size piece covering UK sizes 8 to 12, roughly EU 36 to 40. The nylon and spandex blend stretches across that band, but it will suit the middle of the range most comfortably. Outside UK 8-12, it is best to look for a different size range.
Are the rhinestones real glass?
Yes, the stones are glass rather than plastic, which is what gives the piece its distinctive reflective sparkle. Because glass stones sit on fine stretch fabric, the garment should be handled gently to avoid loosening settings or snagging.
How do I wash it?
Hand wash only, in cool water. Do not iron, tumble dry or bleach. Lay flat or hang to dry away from direct heat to protect both the fabric and the stone settings.
What does crotchless or open crotch mean here?
It means the design has an open panel at the crotch rather than a closed one. It keeps the piece practical and easy to wear over an evening without needing to remove the whole garment.
Does it need batteries or charging?
No. This is a fabric garment with no electronic components, so there is nothing to charge or power. The only upkeep is careful hand washing.
