A link from one of our followers along with the usual dilemma. As you are probably aware, not all nylon is created equal. Items listed as being 100% nylon can range from a Supplex or Tactel nylon fabric that are almost identical to cotton and have nothing to do with being a silky nylon at all. Remember, nylon can be spun into things such as carpeting or abrasive scrubbers to floor mats and I don't think we will be enjoying any of them for sensual / sexual pleasure any time soon! Although, you just never know with some people.....
Nylon Tricot (I was told "tricot" was French for knit, but never really looked into it) is at least a relatively safe term especially if there is a closeup of the item in a photo. Still, I've ordered things (especially nylon shirts) online and gotten items that were better suited for car upholstery than wearing on my body. There's just no substitution for being able to feel it with your own hands. Many people list things online and don't even mention the fabric by name or will call it "silky" or "synthetic" or "soft" to avoid calling it nylon since to many, "nylon" is a derogatory or negative thing--thanks to the evil cotton lobbyists who have convinced America that cotton is the fabric of their life. So wrong. Really, for many people, something being nylon is a negative and they will even call it "polyester" before nylon, if possible. Conversely, sellers who know about serious nylon buyers will say a brief (ok, panty) is "100 % Nylon Tricot" and then fail to point out it has a cotton lined crotch. That's not just deception, it's the difference between their item selling for $100+ or not selling at all for $9.99 because of the cotton liner. It also means that their "vintage 50's or 60's" nylon description is really post 1975 when women needed to save themselves from nylon-caused yeast infections by lining their crotch with a layer of "protective" cotton. Maybe their sex organs didn't notice, but mine did! Imagine lining a Speedo with cotton to protect you from getting hard all the time?
It's also kind of difficult to ask online sellers much beyond "Does it feel silky?" because you can't exactly ask "Will is slide easily up and down the shaft of my erect penis until ejaculation?" especially if it's a female seller. No, I don't think you could get her to ask her husband, either.....
Ok, just thought I'd mention all this. For those of you who have discovered nylon tricot later in life (and better late than never applies to nylon as well), some of you might find this information helpful. Perhaps with only 140 followers and not the 5,000+ on other blogs, it wouldn't be very practical to open a College for Advanced Studies in Nylon Tricot (although there are at least a couple of fantasies in thinking about it), sometimes I just have to put the info out there so you can avoid those online buying mistakes we all make sometimes.
Ok...photos in the next post.
