THONGS/G-STRINGS ::: Why are they such a hit?!

[Baby Carrot]

Attitudes to wearing G-strings vary, as usual with revealing clothing, often on the same lines as anything showing buttocks, cleavage, breasts and other sexually-associated parts of the body. Some find it acceptable while others find it offensive — in certain jurisdictions it may even be illegal. Social acceptability may also differ by the wearer's age and the venue. For example, it may be acceptable on the beach or by the pool, but not in a place of worship.

 

G-string underwear must be pulled directly between one's buttocks, which some people find unattractive and/or uncomfortable, but which others enjoy. Because the cloth makes direct contact with the anus (unlike most underwear), the requirement for good personal hygiene is increased to avoid stains or marks on the material.

I personally, think underwear is supposed to be comfortable and functional, and work as a boundary between ur privates and the exterior clothing. I think thongs are a sexy outfit basically to make out for a while and take off before intercourse... so I don't understand how can some people hang around with a piece of cloth stucked in the crack all day long... when noone even really sees how smoking hot is it... but that's me.

 

 

Now, the naked thruth ladies and gentlemen:

 

 

• Do you find them comfy and appealing?
  
• Do you wear them? Yes (when) or no, and why.

1) Appealing yes. Comfy, no.

2) No. I'm a guy. A thong just doesn't offer much support for the frum.

I LOVE thongs!!!!!!!!! They're so comfortable, and no panty lines! I wear them because they don't prohibit me from wearing skirts or pants of thinner (or white) material. Other good choices are boy shorts and I think they're called "tanga" which is 1/2 way between thong and panties.

Thongs are over-rated. This habit of some women of showing them over their jean waistband is just plain stupid - not sexy at all. It looks really trashy actually. In my opinion (an enthusiastically hetro male) they are a fashion victim accessory that has long past it's due date. Very often many women lack the right kind of body shape in order to make them look good anyway (either too much "junk" or not enough)

 

Now those "boycut" panties - those are hot. OK, pretty well anything but "granny" underwear is hot, let's face it.

 

Oops, just re-read your posting - I guess you're looking for female opinions. Well, you got mine anyway!

[BornToResist]

Most of the time I only wear thongs or g strings. I find them VERY comfortable, as long as they are the right size. No panty lines, no riding up, nothing. They are perfect for me.

 

I also think it's very trashy to show the world you're wearing a thong. I really didn't get that whole fad.

 

If I don't wear a thong, I like those boy cut lacy panties, those are nice too, but they unfortunately leave panty lines.

Thanks for ur opinion, the question is open to everybody, boys and girls.

I dont believe that g strings/thongs are supposed to be comfortable, I think they operate more in the realm of even if they arent seen it makes to wearer feel sexy. While she is only wearing less underwear the societal perception is that these undergarments are sexy. My preference is a g string that have a high arch over the buttocks. In my opinion it makes the wearers buttocks look more ample which I already enjoy.

 

I do not wear them personally.

[Newo Ikkin]

No they're not comfy. They're appealing to the other half, but I dont really find them attractive. ;]

I only wear them as dress up. Not every day wear.

 

I love french knickers xx

[Dako]

This thread is evidence they attract attention.

I like red ones.

[Baby Carrot]

I like red ones.

 

DAKO, do YOU wear red ones?

[sparkle1]

They are both comfy and appealing- however, if i were to dress sexilly for a guy i would chose the boy shorts over the thongs..i wear thongs all the time except on the above occasions... coz they are comfy and i can't stand VPL!!!

 

THERE IS NO NEED TO SHOW THE REST OF THE WORLD YOUR THONG THOU!! YUK!

[Dako]

DAKO, do YOU wear red ones?

Seldom without mine, but I don't wear them.

[southerngirl]

They are comfortable to me. Have to get the right material and cut and size. Thats usually what I wear.. I hate granny panties..

[Baby Carrot]

One thing I never understood and maybe some of you can help me is. We spend half of our life trying to get the panites OUT of our butt, why would you want to start putting them back up there when you get older?

 

LOL * LOL * LOL

 

That's exactly my point.... How can you EVER get used to have a string stucked inbetween ur buttocks ?!?!?!

 

What about when ur on ur period? I mean, is already a hassle with a regular bikini... I can't imagine the mess of wearing a thong in ur period.

[BornToResist]

I really don't feel the g string. There are some thongs that are absolutely terrible, they have that really wide part that's supposed to "lift and separate" or whatever it's designed to do...but the real thin ones become unnoticeable (to some).

 

As for on your period, I was okay because I used tampons all the time, but even around then I would switch a pair of chonies with more coverage.

[MollyElise]

I wear thongs 90% of the time and find them to be comfortable. I wear alot of skirts and full coverage underwear will stick to the fabric sometimes and leaves VPL alot of times.

 

If I'm not feeling well and when I go to bed, I usually will wear bikini.

[TheRedQueen]

Men like bums (as in buttocks), and women like to look and feel sexy? I actually really don't know.

[Baby Carrot]

whatever creams your twinkie right?

 

LMAO

LOL what are those, "chonies", LOL

 

U girls are a lotta fun !

 

 

But hey, what if for some reason you can't find tampons and ur forced to wear maxipads? Not functional at all, what a mess!

[southerngirl]

I dont use maxipads. If i have my monthly time Ill use bikini underwear but anymore material than that I dont like the way it looks or feels.

On the subject of pads vs tampons... Pads feel like diapers yuck!

My sentiments exactly. I pretty much wear them on a daily basis.

[Siriana]

Well I don't think that is really a good idea wearing thongs all day long. I wear normal white cotton combined with modal or elastine panties and they are low raise. And in winter they are definitelly not low raise.

Thangs, and all other sorts of sexy underwear is something I wear at home before sex if my bf likes it.

I don't like beeing at work, sitting infront of my computer for about 8 hours and having something in my....

I second that thought.

[BellaDonna]

Do you find them comfy and appealing?

 

I think in many ways they can be more comfortable than full-coverage underwear. If you buy the right size and the right fabric, you will not know you are wearing it. Since g-strings/thongs tend to be skimpy they do not seem to irritate your bikini line like full-coverage underwear which sometimes feel like they are cutting into your skin.

 

I do not find them appealing personally. I do think they look far better with a tan. Hubby likes them.

 

I think they look VERY unappealing when people wear them and let them hang out of their jeans and pants.

 

Do you wear them? Yes (when) or no, and why.

 

Yes, depending on what I am wearing for clothes. If it's something that shows an underwear line, I will opt for a thong. I have spent $$ on supposedly "seamless" full-coverage undeywear- but they're never the same....there's always some kind of line you can still see-

 

the requirement for good personal hygiene is increased

 

One would hope that people would have very good personal hygiene, regardless.....

I like them but not for an everyday basis,

 

Variety is good in my opinion,

 

There are so many styles of undergarments,

 

I just cannot be loyal to just one! lol

 

Out of the guys I have talked to,

 

I think the majority prefer thongs,

 

But that still doesn't change my preferences
