I love this line, it makes me laugh. 
I think the idea of a thong is sexier than the actual thong. Now, boyshorts…rowr. (speaking as a girl who likes girls)
Personally I don’t really like thongs. Not that I find them physically uncomfortable; they just seem strange to me.
Well, given your reaction, I’ll be sure not to mention any of my undergarments in my personal. But thanks for the kind words.
As for what they do to the male anatomy…huh? I really hadn’t noticed anything in particular going on in that regard. If you’d care to elucidate, feel free, otherwise I’m pretty sure everyone else would rather not know.
“Ze goggles, zey do nossing!”
As for low rider panties, I used to not like them at all, but now I’m not so sure. I think if I can ever get another woman to strip down to her underwear, I’ll be happy no matter what she’s wearing.
I used to like wearing thongs because of the no panty line factor, but sometimes when you’re sitting down, too much is riding up your ass. I thank god I discovered cotton bikini-style panties from Victoria’s Secret. I don’t know about you, but in my university, if you see the trim that says Victoria’s Secret, it isn’t too bad - kinda sexy, actually. But when you see the top of a thong, it’s blasphemy. It’s like you’re advertising or something.
I forget if this is still considered a thong, but you know those panties that are like a thong, but instead of cloth going up the rear, has a string part that goes up the crack, with a triangle of fabric in the back? Like this? Well a girl in my discussion class wore pants SO low, I could see the whole damn triangle. And she kept sliding down her seat, then sitting up so her pants would go lower (I thought my TA was going to drop his coffee a couple of times). I know it was inappropriate, but I kept staring at that damn triangle the whole 2 hours of discussion. I’m a straight girl, and I was mesmerized :rolleyes: Geez I’d hate to think what a guy would have done in my situation.
I’m just annoyed that the girls that tend to wear those kinds of thongs also tend to wear very low-cut pants and shorts. I’m tired of taking notes in lecture and seeing half an ass with that triangle greeting me when I’m bending down to get something from my backpack. Yarg I feel old and bitter.
I am always amused that some (most?) women still cling to the quaint belief that wearing a thong eliminates panty lines. Well, I guess it does in a way, but you still have thong-lines.
The only way to eliminate panty (or thong) lines is not to wear any underwear at all. Anything you wear under your pants or dress (unless its really loose) is going to be visible. It does’t matter if it’s panties, thongs, boy shorts, running shorts or Bermuda shorts. People see the lines. Especially MEN-people (and gay women people).
Call me a pervert if you wish, but I can tell what a woman is wearing under her clothes from 50 yards. I suspect everyone else can too.
They **define ** everything. Not in a pleasant way, at all. Tell me: do you just wear them under your clothes? Or are your swimsuits thongs, too?
shudders
Speaking as a straight girl, I gotta agree with this sentiment. Something like this where they ride low and the bum peeks out just a little at the bottom… That really gets my ass looking its best. A thong on me just kind of says, “here are my butt cheeks…yup, both here…yup” But boyshorts? Totally sexy.
My swimsuits come to mid thigh; they look just like shorts. I am well aware that not everyone wants to see my asscheeks. Besides, if I showed them to just anyone I couldn’t charge people for the privilege.
Yep. Or 70s-style bikinis where the slant of the leg openings is wider rather than more narrow than a girl’s natural leg crease, so there’s a V line creased into the fabric. Yummy!
All right, I suppose I can deal with this since you’re not showing the world and you are cute.
And yes, boyshorts (what I call “hotpants”, and my coworker calls “Daisy Dukes”) are much hotter any day.
I’ve worn thongs for years and I find them far more comfortable than conventional underwear. If you don’t like them, that’s cool, but it’s not impossible to like them and find them comfortable.
They do prevent pantylines in my case. I can’t speak for others. And, to me, I’d rather have a thin strip of cloth up my ass than wedgies from regular panties.
I might have two regular panties in my underwear drawer, and probably 50 thongs of all variety.
Oh, and they look gooooood. 
Are wedgies really so ubiquitous that this is a real justification for wearing thongs? My regular low-cut brief-style underwear stays put. I never get wedgies, and I run, dance, sit, walk, climb stairs, etc. in them. Maybe I’m just lucky like that. Hmm.
I was thinking the same thing. I never get wedgies. Mine are high on the thighs, and low-cut, I guess the minimal fabric without being a thong.
And I cannot stand the feeling of having that thong right up in your buttcrack. However, I’m sure it’s something you could get used to. I just don’t see the need.
I’m glad you’ve come to accept this. Actually, you could think any which way about it, as long as you keep saying I’m cute.
I’m pretty sure Daisy Dukes would be cut off denim shorts, rather than any sort of underwear. Run out and correct your coworker.
The wedgie phenomenon is likely uncommon with underwear that’s cut low on the lower half. The fabric is pulled to the sides, and tends to curve under the cheeks. Regular women’s underwear doesn’t do that, though; it’s more triangular and there is less lateral force to keep it from wedgifying.
Cite!
Well, I always seem to feel like I have a wedgie when I wear regular underwear. Maybe it’s because I’ve worn thongs for so long.
I had to get used to thongs when I started as a dancer. There’s no getting around it. It was certainly weird at first, and I found it weird that most of the girls wore them with their street clothes as well (of course, it’s different than a dancer thong). Spend six hours dancing, stretching, and doing all types of contortions in them and you get used to it pretty fast. Then it just feels normal and natural. The same can be said for six-inch heels.
Ten years later, I can’t see wearing regular panties. I see them sometimes in a set or something and think about it, but I know if I bought them I’d never wear them. There’s never a day when I think it’s acceptable for my panty line to show, nor is there a day that I don’t find a thong more comfortable for one reason or another.
Coworker’s a prude. I don’t think I’ll be bringing it up anytime soon. It only came up in the first place because she was horrified that anyone would wear such a thing. :rolleyes: But, you’re right that Daisy Dukes should be denim shorts.
And did I mention you were cute?
I’m actually a little envious of you, Indygrrl and others who can wear thongs day after day. I can only wear a thong for like 12 hours at a time before it starts hurting my bum. I don’t like friction. I wear tight pants often enough that I would greatly benefit from thongs, but I just can’t wear them that often.
She’s horrified that anyone would wear boy shorts? How…odd. I can’t imagine what possible reason there could be for that. Of course, you’re not one to talk, you despise thongs. But at least I can understand the motivation there.
And yes, you may have mentioned that I was cute, it rings a bell. And now I have the line “Ab kood, ab kood” running through my head. What the hell movie was that? Oh, yes, Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. Except I’m not wearing a false nose.
AwSnappity, I suggest finding some that are cotton, stretchy, not too tight, and don’t have rough seams. There shouldn’t be much in the way of friction. Avoid non-stretchy material or any of that nasty abrasive lace. (Note: No, I don’t wear lace, I just know that a lot of women’s lingerie is made out of horrible fabric that is unpleasant to the touch)
I love her, she’s very nice, but a little…weird. She’s very happily married yet professes that the sight of a naked man is disgusting. Not silly, not cute, sexy, or anything but disgusting. I wonder about her sex life. Nighties down to her ankles with a hole in the middle?
And I despise thongs but not because I’m a prude. I think they look OK on some women, but I choose not to wear them and I really disapprove of them showing in the office. That is not proper office attire. Leisure time, yes. But thongs on men…well you know my feelings.
Do you know how many times I’ve written things instead of thongs and had to correct it? Almost every time I think.
Just to clarify, I absolutely, under no circumstances, let my thong hang out of my pants.
I may dress like Erin Brockovich sometimes, but I do draw the line somewhere.
