As many of you (who follow fashion trends) may know, for the past few years we've been bombarded with articles in magazines and fashion sites with titles proclaiming "The Thong Is Dead" and "Granny Panties Are In, Sexy Underwear Is Out.", while that may be true, the fact of the matter is that despite not being the go-to underwear for us women like it was in 2000-2003, the thong really isn't going anywhere and there are no signs of them sharing the same fate as the knickers and bloomers of the 1920s.
In fact, they're still as popular as ever. I wear them more often than not, many of my friends wear them, the department stores and lingerie shops still stock a variety. Since their first introduction in Europe in the 1970s, thongs have maintained their allure and status as the most daring underwear, hence why they've been so popular for so long.
But there are other reasons for their staying power, aside from their "taboo" allure.
(Remember: This is all subjective and represents my viewpoints, I'm just sharing my opinion.)
1. Thongs Will Always Be In Fashion
Despite what the fashion critics say, they're still quite fashionable. What other panty goes along with just about every other piece of your wardrobe? Not many, aside from the new "seamless" panty. I can wear tight jeans and little black dresses without having to worry about the dreaded visible pantyline showing up and trashing my entire look, which can lead to major, public embarassment.
2. Thongs Are Really Quite Comfortable
In fact, thongs are the most comfortable panty you can wear. There's not much fabric to make you uncomfortable to begin with, your downstairs region stays cooler, panty ride-up and front wedgies are non-existant, and while wearing thongs made of cotton, there's almost no chafing what so ever. Compare that to fuller cuts that you have to pick out of your bum constantly and makes your vulve feel like it's trapped in the amazon jungle in the middle of summer.
3. Thongs Naturally Fit the Female Body
Becuase of their inherit minimalism, movements are not restricted which makes them ideal for wearing under clothes whenever you workout, go jogging, play athletic sports or whenever you anticipate being active on your feet or not. That's mostly due to the fact that your butt is actually two really big muscles full of twitch fibers that your legs rely on for mobility (and also the reason why kicks are considered more powerful than punches), they flex and contract while we're active. Due to thongs being what they are- panties without back coverage- they allow our glutes to do what they're actually designed to do without constraint.
4. Thongs Are Cheap
Mostly, again, due to the lack of fabric. I can actually go to Walmart and buy a 5 pack for $10.
5.You'll Look Sexy When The Clothes Come Off
One of the obvious pluses for wearing a thong is the fact that men love them and love seeing their girlfriends/wives wearing them. When he pulls down your pants or lifts up your skirt to see your bumbum in it's natural state, it drives him bonkers and that can lead to some really good things. It's almost a given that the sex that follows is going to be really hot and very kinky. In survey after survey, men list thongs and g-strings as their favorite kind of undergarment for one obvious reason- It's the most primal underwear, the most naked you will ever be while wearing something and that turns men on like nothing else.
The ONLY major drawback to wearing thongs is that they can become unsanitary if you wear the same pair for too long and you don't wash them. That's it, there are so many pluses to wearing them that it's stupid, hence they got so popular and there are no signs of them going the way of shoulder pads anytime soon.
I would love to hear some opinions and I hope you all enjoyed this myTake.
What Girls & Guys Said
43 64I am surprised at the comfort point - I was always under the impression that they were quite uncomfortable when a person started to wear them as a new type of underwear - Long story short I once mistakenly bought some male thongs and since I bought them, bringing them home, I said "To hell with it, I'll try them out" - Honestly I thought they were instruments of torture.
Good take - All your points hold water logically just on a personal preference I like boyshorts on women but that is me, I am sure the thong is probably still most popular among guys.
Spiorad_Aisce I too once bought thongs, a sale at $1 or $2. Just curiosity, I wanted to know: I dumped them forever after a few hours. Now I know. :D
Until about 5 years ago I couldn't imagine how a thong could possibly be comfortable. My sister finally convinced me (with the help of a VS saleswoman) to try one. It felt weird the first time I wore it but after that I decided that I like it. Now they're all I ever wear. No going back!
Good article! In general I think that given the shape of our body it's unnatural to wear regular underwear. It's much more natural to adapt to our body curves and just wear a piece of fabric in between the cheeks.
Love wearing a thong they are my go to underwear. Cute, sexy, giving confidence from the base layer. Plus no extra fabric to have to fish out as other styles ride up
Agree
Wait, we have to defend thongs now? aka the best thing that women ever started doing?
I'd rather not wear floss as underwear, it's not comfortable to me. I prefer the shorts kind of underwear personally and think they still look sexy. And if I get VPL? Go without underwear, simples.
2-5 are bullshit. The only thing true is number 1 because people have a fascination with uncomfortable underwear.
#2 depends on the person. I seriously can't even feel mine.
Wait, I'm completely confused now, I though I knew what "number one" and "number two" were, but surely that is not something you're doing in a thong! OMG! please enlighten me!
Who wants a girl with granny panties? Come on fellas, it's all about the thong!!!
I love thongs
My girlfriend and her mom love too, but my girlfriend more on G-string
I have been wearing thongs for over 30 years now! I only wear thongs or go commando! I love wearing thongs and I don’t care if other people now this guys or girls! It is what I like!!!
you said you wear thongs that is men thongs?
@ryaninalaska907 Yes I wear men’s thongs! I have been for about 30 years now I used to wear briefs and boxers I can’t stand them! I wear Joe Boxer thongs!! I love my thongs!!
I see that Cool so you must get shit from others girls and also other guys? Me I wear full butt bikini underwear and full but string bikini underwear I do also wear mens thongs and mens g strings. How that came about wearing full butt bikini and string bikini and mens thong and mens g string is I used to wear briefs when growing up and I so did not like them cause I did not like how briefs felt like when on and how they looked could not stand the fly frount. When I got in my 20's I saw men full butt bikini and mens full butt string bikini and got them cause I liked how they looked and not so much material to them and they hade no fly frount and like how they fell and loo then on. I always know about mens thongs and mens g strings and wanted to try them so still in my 20's I got both mens thongs and mens g strings. You might think this is weird but I like how there is little material to them and they not cover my butt chacks and you might also think sound weird but I so love how the mens thong strap and mens g string back fell like going up the crack of my ass crack all day long when wearing eather or. Yes I have got shit from some girls that think it is we guys wearing thongs and g string cause they think it is girls underwear and say ya gay cause they dont even know they make mens thongs and mens g string underwear for guys and the same goes for other guys think that also and say that also ya gay. I think why some girls and guys think that and say crip is cause they dont seal mens thongs and mens g strings in ever store here in the USA like they do girls thongs and girls g strings and I think they should start sealing all mens thongs and all mens g strings in every USA stores also
@ryaninalaska907 I don’t get shit for wearing thongs because no one really knows! When I started wearing thongs only my wife knows & she was ok with it! I do know I would get shit if guys I know new! My primary care doctor knows & She didn’t say anything!
so if you got shit from other guys and or guy friends what would you say? and and what is the look on ya doctors face when she see you in mens thong s or mens g strings I am sure she has said something?
@ryaninalaska907 I would say to guys or guy if I got shit it is my body & what do you care! I would also say why don’t you try thongs! I was getting a physical & I forgot to just wear shorts & she didn’t say anything! I have a physical in a few weeks I will probably wear a thong again? I also shave my pubic hair have been for many years! My primary doc was a guy though he retired. The first time I had my physical when I was shaving I kinda freaked out he said nothing along with my new doc she said nothing to!! Do you shave your pubic hair? I have been shaving my pubic hair for over 30 years now. That is when I started wearing thongs! I love wearing thongs!!!
Hi I read all yiu said thats cool you ben wearing mens thong and or mens g string. You read I said I also wear mens thong and mens g string and I said this before you may or may not think it is weird. But I like how there is very little material to mens thongs and mens g strings and this part may or may not sound weird but I so love how the strap of the mens thong fells like going up my ass crack and over my asshole all day and same with mens g string I so love how there is little to the string and how it fells like going up the crack of my ass and over my asshole and how you can still see my asshole then string is over my asshole all this sound weird? And yes I shave have been sice I was around 13-14 whe I started growing body hair I only ever grow very very little on my legs arms pits and chast my back and butt chacks have always been naturally smooth and my pubic hair when it started growing in it only grow in very very little also. But when I was 14 I shaved hole body smooth cause I did not like what little body hair I did have always like how I looked and felt when I hade no hair and my pubic hair also shaved it all off smooth cause I did not like what little pubs I did have and I so did not like how pubic hair looked like or even felt I like how I felt and looked when still hade no pubs. And I been fully body and pub haved smooth since I been 14 and I am 47 now and still full body and pub shaved smooth and will always be cause that the beast way to be is all smooth. And you may or not think this is weird but since I wear mens thong and mens g strings it is better to be full shaved cause I fell mens thong and mens g strings are way better to wear when your full body and full pub shaved smooth dont you think. And if it is ok to ask are you bi or?
@ryaninalaska907 no I am not bi or gay
THE ONLY THING LOOKED AT WERE THE PICS AND SKIMMED through, WHO ELSE DID THAT
Well, I guess 1st, they ARE uncomfortable, they get between your buttcheeks and feel weird. 2nd, they ARE cheap indeed, but not in the way you mentionned :))) and 3rd, you can look sexy when you take your clothes off even if you wear normal panties that are sexy :D
like these:

Very sexy indeed! I love thongs but these underwear look fucking hot!
@AZinfinitY hehe :D I thought so too!
Atm, I'm listening to a song called "that thong" what a coincidence
I love my VS thong. I don't even feel like I have panties on right now.
I love your myTake, good job. Infact where a thong pretty much all the time.
"The ONLY major drawback to wearing thongs is that they can become unsanitary if you wear the same pair for too long and you don't wash them."
Who knew?
Lmao!!!
I had the same reaction and then I thought "Isn't that the major drawback of ANY underwear?"
@BuchitaBuchys :)
They're comfortable, cheap, and cute. Nuff said lol
I don't know anything about the other numbersnbut #5 is true.
Good take
Usually, the only people that have problems with them are people who can't fit them, or wear them or lack the self-confidence to wear them.
the girls I have dated usually can't find them is their size, or they stretch them out of shape.
Now, the other side of the spectrum, I wear thongs for men, and in studying and a matter of fact, they were originally designed for men over centuries ago, such as the "Loin Cloth".
It is required that you take better care of your personal Hygiene in more detail. Without going into more detail, or grossing anybody out, men know what that aspect is, and some women have had to witness this lack of personal hygiene.
