Intro:
Clothing fetishes can be rather strange. Sure, some guys go for the standard “sexy” items like short skirts, bikinis, or revealing low-cut tank-tops, but some guys are into, well, really odd stuff. During my years as a reviewer of pornographic websites, I have seen sites dedicated to women wearing leather boots, vinyl leotards, veils, ‘old timey’ hats, and even men’s business shirts. Stockings are a common object of attraction, but some guys are very choosy about what kind of leg coverings their beat-off babes adorn themselves with. Only Opaques caters to the discerning stocking fetishist who insists on opaque hosiery at all times. The models featured on this site hail mostly from Europe and seem to have no problem standing in front of a camera wearing stockings or tights and little else. Only Opaques, however, is not explicit and instead focuses, like its sister site Only Tease, on suggestive sexuality, not extreme manipulation of female orifices. If this sounds like something you might get into a tizzy over, head on inside with me, Mr. Pink, and find out what your $24.95-a-month would get you should you choose to join Only Opaques.

Pros:
Exclusive and original content that strictly adheres to the advertised niche is unfortunately uncommon on the Internet. Many sites hover around their specialty and all too often end up drifting into bland content that doesn’t necessarily include the very thing that brought you there. Only Opaques manages to include opaque stockings, pantyhose, or tights into every video or photoshoot.

HD videos (720p) and high-resolution images present the models and their beautifully dressed legs in a lovely fashion. You’ll be privy to quite a lot of detail; surely enough to satisfy hardcore stocking fans.

Images are presented in three resolutions - 711x1066, 1365x2048, and 200x300 pixels - all of which can be viewed straight from the webpage or slideshow, and downloaded in zipped archives, making it easy to grab every hi-res shot of your favorite model for later use.

Content is added every day, usually bringing a new photo gallery to the site. While galleries are the most commonly added items, videos are added two or three times a week and add to the already impressive archive.

Cons:
No model biographies and a troublesome search function makes browsing for models less exciting than it probably could be if these two issues were resolved. Not a difficult task for the webmasters, I’m sure, so hopefully we’ll see a change soon.

The consistency of video formats, resolutions, and streams is not as fluid as it could be. Not all new videos hit 720p and formats seem to waver between WMV and AVI, although that was more so in the recent past than currently.

Flash videos must be loaded in full before you’re able to jump forward or backwards. As most of the videos are quite short (about 5 minutes) this isn’t a huge problem, but will bother some folks all the same.

With six other Only sites currently in operation, it’s surprising that your Only Opaques membership does not grant you access to any of them. For full access you’ll need to fork over $44.95 for an Only All Sites membership.

Conclusion:
When it comes to finding a great erotic theme and sticking to it, Only Opaques is a rousing success. With over 400 videos and more than 1,000 photo galleries, most of which present content in high resolutions with a great deal of clarity, there’s enough material here to support any ardent hosierphile’s stocking habit. It’d be great to see some bonus network access thrown into the membership package, as well as more consistent video options and model profiles and bio pages, but there are no major ingredients of a great site missing from Only Opaques, just a few niggling issues.
