The Different Types of Thongs in Fashion

Ask women about the one piece of clothing that is either loved or hated the most and the thong is often the answer. Although there are lots of strong opinions, the first thing to understand is there are actually a lot of different types of thongs.

A thong is actually a general phrase that generally encompasses a bottom that has little or no coverage in the rear and some form of skimpy string forming the support. It is loved by those who appreciate a look with no panty line. In contrast, it is hated by those who simply cannot get used to the snug feel of the string running front to back. There are many different types of thongs that can blur these lines.

A classic thong is a simple piece of clothing. It has cloth on the rear that runs in a gradual triangle from the back edge of the hips to the center of the rear. The bottom point of this triangle then converts into a string like look and runs to the front of the body. Despite its name, this is one of the less popular choices for women when it comes to thongs.

The g-string is perhaps the most famous of the thongs. Most people use the two names interchangeably, but the g-string is in fact a subset of the general thong category. The average g-string is tiny. It has a band around the hips and a tiny triangle patch of cloth on the back where the band meets the vertical string that runs between the buttocks.. This string is snug, which leads to an uncomfortable sensation for more than a few women.

The t-string is the most aggressive form of the thong. It is a classic example of less is more. In this case, we are talking less coverage. The t-string is essentially a string that runs horizontally around the body at hip level. In the front we find a triangle of clothing covering the pubic area with a string running from it under the buttocks and up to the horizontal band circling the hips. There is no cloth at all in the rear area, which gives the piece its name.

With this variation, you can see that the issues surrounding thongs differ. For instance, a t-string thong is extreme and, for me, very uncomfortable to wear. It is just too intrusive. In contrast, a classic thong has more coverage and is much more comfortable. This tends to be the case with thongs. The more coverage there is in the rear, the more comfortable the fit. The problem, of course, is the more coverage, the more a panty line exists. Is there a best answer? Not really. It is a matter of personal taste and comfort.

G-Strings - What Goes Around Comes Around

The g-string is an undergarment that gets strong positive or negative reviews, but never just a shrug. The odd thing about this form of lingerie panty is it has been with us a very long time.

The first thing to understand about the g-string is it is worn by both men and women. Western media tends to highlight the lingerie aspects of women over men, so many men do not realize that saying they "like g-strings" can sometimes infer that they actually like wearing them!

The g-string has traveled a long way through time as a fashion garment. A form of the g-string was man's first piece of clothing. Research has found the first clothing originated in sub-Sahara Africa roughly 75,000 years ago and, you guessed it, a variation of the g-string was found to be the undergarment of choice. The loin cloth, after all, is nothing more than a g-string with a bit of extra material around it. As mankind advanced, g-strings disappeared from the scene, but have made a huge comeback in the last thirty years or so.

These days, g-strings always get a reaction. Some women love to wear them while others find them very uncomfortable. A vast majority of men seem to find them irresistible, which might say something deep and scholarly since they probably originated from the Stone Age. You can insert your own joke here!

The modern G-string blurs the lines of panty fashion. I've referred to them as lingerie in this article, but they can be viewed as a simple panty. They can also be used as the bottoms of a bikini bathing suit. Many refer to them as "thongs" as well, but this is not entirely accurate. A g-string is actually a type of thong, but most people just use the terms interchangeably.

The advantages of wearing g-strings are clearly defined. They are considered highly seductive and perfect for evenings when you want to look your best. They are also favored because they leave no panty line since the rear area is simply a string of sorts. This combination has made the g-string one of the strongest selling undergarments of this decade.

There are, of course, disadvantages as well. One simply has to do with comfort. Many women find the sensation of the g-string to uncomfortable. On a more objective level, the close fit of the garment has also raised some health warnings related to infections. Many gynecologists now recommend g-strings not be worn for more than six to eight hours and that they be washed frequently.

Is a g-string in your future? The only way to know is to try one on and see how you feel. Some women love them and some do not. It is purely a matter of choice.
