What is a thong?

A thong is a type of undergarment characterized by a narrow strip of fabric that runs between the buttocks, attaching to a waistband at the front and back. This design minimizes fabric coverage, resulting in less visible panty lines under clothing.

Thongs come in various styles and materials. Different types include:

  • G-strings: This is the most minimal type of thong, with a very thin string at the back.
  • T-thongs: Similar to g-strings, but with a slightly wider strip of fabric forming a "T" shape.
  • V-thongs: The waistband forms a "V" shape in the front.
  • C-strings: A backless, strapless variant that uses internal wires to stay in place.

The materials used in thongs can vary widely, including cotton, lace, silk, satin, and synthetic fabrics like nylon and spandex. The choice of material often depends on comfort, style, and intended use. For example, cotton thongs are popular for everyday wear due to their breathability, while lace and silk thongs are often chosen for special occasions.

Thongs are often worn for aesthetic reasons (avoiding visible%20panty%20lines (VPL)), but some people also find them comfortable.
