I like seeing glimpses of full-brief undies. But not thongs. They just represent something I’m not into.
Not that any woman displays themselves for my benefit, of course. More’s the pity.
I have a dilemma with respect to thongs.
I love how they can frame and accent a woman’s butt, but I’ve been reading lately that they have been increasingly responsible for all sorts of bacterial infections. Apparently, the string glides across the anus and up to the vagina transfering nasty germs.
So I’m faced with a real problem here. Thongs are gorgeous but disgusting at the same time. What to do?
I think if they’re really that low then they are not pants. They’re chaps.:eek:
Um, let me get this straight…you guys are complaining about seeing thongs on half-naked high school girls?
Dude - I’ve worn thongs since I was 14, which is a long, long time and never had any sort of infection like that which you describe.
Unless the woman is predisposed, I can only assume that this is a rather rare condition.
I believe there is a sig here waiting for adoption.
I think this probably has more to do with unhygenic women than with thongs. Skanky women are probably more likely to wear thongs than soccer moms, so it may seem like a cause/effect thing.
Me, I’ve worn a lot of thongs and never had a problem. Hell I used to have to wear one to work–and those were made out of bathing suit material, mind you–and dance myself sweaty for hours at a time every day. Never got any kind of ickiness from my thongs.
Oh, and if your thong has a “string” anywhere near there, then either you’re wearing a string-sided thong sideways or you have a g-string, not a thong.
Go ahead, anyone who wants it.
I feel special that it’d even be considered. 
I may be old or something, but I thought the very point of thongs was that they didn’t have unsightly panty lines, and thus were not seen.
So …
blink
Yeah, I must be old.
Actually thongs are really comfortable. I don’t own any underwear but thongs.
And no, I’ve never had any infection down there.
No, in reality, that’s the idea. That and they look good without pants, but it’s not like matching your bra straps to your tank top. Your thong just should not show.
Gal at Best Buy the other day. She was wearing the J.Lo style sweatsuit with the waistband rolled down so far that her hip bones were well above it, and the tan line from her bathing suit was showing. :eek:
As far as thongs, I read the other day that the cotton ones are pretty decent hygenically, but the slicker materials allow bacteria to sort of… slide around more.
I know some of the thong-showers are intentional, but for the unintentional underwear displays… please, just do the bend and reach panty check in the morning!
Another thong sighting: on the bus, girl gets on, wearing a bright pink tie-dyed thong. I could see the whole back of her thong–not just the top, the entire back, down to the little string (and trust me, I wasn’t trying to look). The worst part? She was standing up, not bending over! Ughhhhh!!!
Maybe she’s in training to be a plumber.
ME
Maybe she is one.
I wear thongs almost exclusively as well, because they’re really comfortable (believe it or not!). Please don’t worry your pretty heads about them making us uncomfortable. Note: the reason I wear them has nothing to do with getting attention. I am aware that sometimes they are visible out the top of my pants and I try to control it but sometimes it just can’t be helped - and usually I’m not aware of it. And your opinion on it is completely irrelevant to me.
Can’t we just relax and let people wear whatever underwear they are comfortable wearing?
(note to irishgirl: hip hugger thongs?! that’s fantastic! There’s nothing in Canada to compare with M&S regular thongs - why is the underwear so great over there?)
I just think: thong -> arse crack dental floss.
I am sure for most people that wear them they are not unhygienic at all. I just don’t like the idea of a piece of fabric rubbing that close to my *****hole.
What are YOU talkin’ about.
I’m in Canada, and I have no trouble, whatsoever, finding low-rise thongs. La Senza has “Ultra” low rise, for Pete’s sake.
Oh - and about the whole “People should just let me wear the ginchies I like.” - hey - you wear whatever you like - just be prepared that if your ginch are hanging out, people are gonna think you look skanky. (Well, unless they’re 15 year old chickies, and then perhaps they will think you look really hip.)
Off topic slightly, but I purchased a pair of the boy cut short-like lacy undies, very sexy and you can wear them with jeans without fear of pantylines.
I also love thongs, but don’t want to see them randomly unless I am downloading porn or something.
cowgirl, and all others objecting to peeking at thongs, may I direct your attention to Dorinha Jeans and their low-rise thongs.
The sweet chiquita in that website’s front page is the owner and designer of this Vancouver-based fashion house dedicated to all things low-rise.
Yeah baby yeah!
I can’t help but observe that for a bunch of people who don’t want to see thongs, some of you are apparently doing a lot of staring at other people’s asses.
If you don’t want to see a gopher, look away from the gopher hole, you know what I’m saying?
