Shiny Setificato 40, Fucking Awesome if You’re a Skinny Bitch
I have finally come to the realization that in my quest to try every available pantyhose that looks super sexy in an ad, or on a model in a pantyhose fetish site, I’m really just trying see if my beloved Wolford Neon 40 can be outdone. In the meantime, my collection has filled up a gigantic box and many have been rendered as stylish cleaning rags.
Yet this time, I came close in the Pierre Mantoux Setificato 40. Very close.
I had very high expectations when I placed my order for what looked like a perfect matching shade for Wolford’s “Gobi” color. In fact, much like the image above, the “Jasmine” option seemed like a dead ringer so, what the hell, I wanted one of those. Yet then, we get to the first problem…
The damn sizing chart is pretty fucked up to say the least. It seemingly put me at a large with huge hips and, since I no longer have a belly, I was wondering if I’ll need a belt to prance around in these. Not exactly inspiring confidence in my decision. OK, so these probably weren’t made for the everyday crossdresser, so I got one pair medium and another in large in that Jasmine color just to be safe.
Then I finally got the package, did a little victory dance and slipped on these beauties, the large pair first. Oh what a nice surprise in finding that, I not only did not need a belt, but these hardly made it up to my waist. I mean I really had to force the crotch to stretch like plastic wrap around my girly junk to get it up there.
Needless to say, they are sized a wee fucking whole size larger then what they should be. I’m talking for an actual woman, not just a crossdresser too.
Alright though, enough of my whining. Ahem…
So, despite the unbelievable tightness on the crotch, they look absolutely stunning. Incredibly sexy is that lovely lustrous shine, not unlike my properly-sized Neon 40, which I can’t take my eyes off of in the mirror. It also has that gorgeous, smooth almost liquid-like appearance, a telltale sign of a high quality pantyhose.
To the touch, they feel just as good as they look, which is to say, soft and satiny and enough to nearly make my solid, but asphyxiating, cock nearly poke right through them. On that note, yes, you would have to tear a hole in the front of these to alleviate the erection a bit. I’m not quite committed, however, to that sex change so these would fit a little better.
I happened to have later purchased the Setificato 40 in the XL size, unfortunately having that unsexy back panel over the butt for reinforcement. These did, in fact, fit to what a normally large size would and, thus, confirming that Mr. Pierre Mantoux better get his shit straight with that sizing thing. I hated this pair, though, which looks like having cotton panties sewn in over my ass. Far from pantyhose fetish material this pair is, yet, would more likely make the sexiest cleaning rag I have.
If you’re a skinny little anorexic bitch of a crossdresser, the Pierre Mantoux Setificato 40 should fit you just fine. And if you’re able to fit into my unopened pair in a size medium, then I want your number so I can have you can strut around in them for me.

Hi Sheery, This is interesting. I recently purchased a pair of the Setificato 40’s, and definitely not being a skinny little anorexic bitch (well it depends on who you ask about the bitch part), the XL fit me OK. Not as roomy as Neon 40’s to be sure, but I’ve worn them a couple of times and found them to be quite comfortable. They do come close to the neon’s in softness and shine and overall I really like them. Of course I’m not bothered by the funky seams of the back panel, which is a good thing for me for if I was, I would not be able to wear any of the European brands as all of their largest sizes have them. I agree that the size charts are often misleading, and are inconsistent not only from brand to brand, but also for different styles of the same brand. I wish they would all fit like the Neon 40’s! All too often I’ve bought pantyhose that should have fit according to the size chart only to have them make me look and feel like 10 lbs of s..t in a 5 lbs sack. With all of the men who buy pantyhose and all of the plus size women out there I’m a little surprised the manufacturers don’t make more of an effort to make larger sizes. I know there are a lot of brands and styles that I won’t even try, as they’re not available in a size that would come close to fitting me. I would be willing to bet that I buy a lot more pantyhose than 95% of women, at least on this side of the Atlantic. Maybe the marketing experts need to take a new look at who’s really out there wanting to buy their product!

Sheery,
Excellent write up. I have purchased some Pierre Manic Mantoux Seamless hose in the past, and they were incredible. I haven’t tried the setificato yet, but looking into getting a pair soon. I know that as an avid fan of your site (and of pantyhose), I would love it if you would take a photo of your hose collection for us.
Any chance that could happen? Keep up the great work!
Hi Sheery n Lisa!
Hoping that I haven’t upset you both with my uptight last post, apologies, I was having a bad week…
Thanks for the reviews,I’ve heard that Pierre Mantoux sizings are on the meagre side, so thanks for confirming!
Have you tried Trasparanze Debbie tights? Also 40 Denier but again the Maxi size is with the dreaded back panel….
Just a word of warning about Wolford Neon40’s…They are virtually sold out on their official website which made me panic-buy through ebay and another uk internet tights website…Whether Wolford are just running down production over summer or they could even be phasing Neon40’s out, I cannot judge. I certainly hope not!
Talking of summer, I have to admit that I personally enjoy wearing the lower deniers…A cheap, comfy yet classy pantyhouse is from Hudson, called Light8…Incredibly sensual in these hot summer months though nowhere near as robust as a 40 Denier…Just a thought..
Also, a BIG favourite of mine are Oroblu Unique 20 seamless pantyhose….They feel INCREDIBLE, I put them on and just want to spend the whole day queening around…:-))) Unfortunately, they are super expensive, same price as Neon40’s and also not nearly as robust…BUT, the erotic factor of these pantyhose cannot be underestimated….
I have now filled my 5th shoe box sized container with pantyhose and the collection continues to grow, so I welcome all tips on here!
I also have got hold of some Platino Cleancut15’s….They are super glossy with no waisteband and are also highly unique, they are very slippery too and feel wonderful under other garments….Sheery, I know you don’t go for the lower Deniers but for me that’s where I started out and I still love them all these years later, especially now it’s summer!
Thanks for reading and wishing you both a pantyhosed and fun-filled week!
