The cotton gusset - sewn into the inside of the tights. Allows better hygiene and also reduces the friction of the fabric on the skin.

For the brands Fiore and Gabriella Usually size S is without cotton gusset and larger sizes have cotton gusset.

Unusual tights - with pattern:

Usually patterned tights have a T-band panty part, sometimes in size 5 it is a reinforced panty part.
The question here is whether the pattern extends over the entire length of the pantyhose or ends at the panty part.

Pattern along the entire length of the tights - many pattern tights from the Gabriella brand have the pattern along the entire length.

Pattern on the legs but not on the panty - normally Fiore patterned tights do not have a pattern on the panty, but there are some new models that have a pattern on the panty as well.
