What is a tanga?

A tanga is a type of underwear that covers the front and rear but leaves the upper part of the buttocks exposed. It is similar to a G-string in that it has minimal coverage, but differs in that it has more fabric on the front and back. Tangas are usually made of stretchy materials like cotton, nylon, or spandex, and may have decorative lace or patterns. They are often worn by both men and women as a sexy and comfortable alternative to traditional underwear.
