It’s sweeps week on The Gossip Girl.
We should bring back chastity belts?
I think with all this stuff about “going commando”, thongs are the least of your worries. And yeah, even in 9th Grade.
Not if they show panty lines or rust marks.
You should definitely get her sexy stuff. Everyone in this thread considers Qin Shi Huangdi to be low status because he’s the most pro-chastity in this bunch. Why would you want to give your daughter similar ideas about sexuality? If anything, you should be subsidizing her sexualization, to make certain that she has acceptable opinions on sex, and won’t end up like our good friend Qin.
That’s what I always wondered about; how did they deal with the rust?
Then again, I remember one girl who sounded like Velcro peeling when she took off her panties.
I’m with ya but mine are teenagers wielding large vibrators, the only way to win this one is to sit on my ass and keep my mouth shut!

get her a rabbit for Easter.
Weird thread to zombie, but the update is that, yes, I let her get thongs, and no, she didn’t turn into a sex fiend.
I knew that she wouldn’t, it’s just hard to let them grow up sometimes. 
I’ve always been a fan of masturbation, and have always let her know that it’s okay and normal and everything else. But just recently I was confronted by the actual fact of her doing it, and it was weird. She’s still my little girl.
I hope that wasn’t a walk in.
If your clothes are tight enough that you can see a panty line, why would they not be to be able to see the thong? Or if they are light enough to see the panties through, why wouldn’t you also see the thong?
VPL seems more to be a function of having too thick panties and wearing too tight clothes. You can alleviate both of these without wearing a thong. In my opinion, there must be another motivation.
But I don’t think it’s necessarily sexual, at least, as most people mean the term. I think it’s an issue of feeling like a grown-up. Not only is it about being able to choose, but it’s also about how thongs are correlated with sexual maturity. If something is societally in the realm of adults or even older teenagers, preteens and young teenagers are going to want to emulate it.
It does not correlate with how sexually active you are, however.
(With adults, I’ll buy that it’s comfort based, even if that comfort is in feeling you look better or are just used to them.)
That’s what I always thought, but the thing that’s not supposed to be visible isn’t the actual line, it’s the “second butt” created by the line. Apparently.
It’s been a while since we’ve agreed on anything and I certainly didn’t expect it to happen in a thread like this. But I think you’re spot on.
No, she doesn’t know I know.
Possible TMI - I went in to say goodnight, and her hand went by my nose when she went to hug me.
I would never mention it to her - I had a walk-in one time when I was a teen, and it was the Worst Thing Ever.
On tighter clothes, the tight part is over the buttocks, where VPL happens. The only parts of the thong that stick out are above the tailbone. Even in tight pants, the area above the tailbone is cut looser so the wearer can sit down properly.
If you go out and move amongst the humans, you’ll notice that buttocks tend to be quite a bit fleshier at the bottom than the top. You’d have to be wearing a seriously tight thong to create a bulge, but unless you have buns of steel, full panties that fit perfectly fine can create vpl, especially when you’re moving around.
Also, pants aren’t meant to hang off of your ass, they should fit closely enough to touch your body, which can certainly make one subject to vpl without the pants being ‘tight’.
I agree that a fourteen year old wants to wear a thong to feel “grownup”, but as a grownup, I wear them for my stated reasons. I don’t really understand why you feel it necessary to attribute mysterious motivations to simply explained behaviors.
This. Exactly. I have an hourglass figure (with a little extra sand on the bottom) and thongs are the ONLY underwear I wear. Before I started with the thongs, I was constantly having to pull my underwear down, out, over, you get it. I have been wearing them for 15 years or so and have never had a UTI.
Lovely turn of phrase here.
Everything’s “simple” to those who rationalize their behavior. It’s only “other” people whose behavior is suspect. Including the behavior of wondering about behavior.
