Well I don’t know about the rest of you guys but when my undies vanish up my ass it’s bloody uncomfortable.
So, how do women manage to cope with these thongs that are up their asses all the time.
Don’t get me wrong I think they are great but surely they must take some getting used to.
BTW when I say ass I mean “crack of” OK?

I was mistified by this as well, but when I conducted a poll I was told they’re very comfortable form the get go. One girl went so far as to state that it didn’t ride up her crack. I sent her to the bathroom, she checked it out and returned, sullen faced I might add, telling me that it, in fact, did. From past wedgie experience I can’t imagine how this could be comfortable, but it seemingly is.

it’s very comfortable.
And no, it doesn’t feel as if you’ve got a permanent wedgie.
if it’s a well made thong, out of nice stretchy materials, you’re not even aware you’re wearing one.
Plus, it makes you feel sexier, as there’s no danger of VPL, and therefor your ass can be admired in all its curvaceousness and firm roundness.

\*\* elfje \*\* Personally I rather liked to se a VPL but that’s just me.
As for admiring your ass in all it’s glory, I suppose a few pics are out of the question.

Yes yes! Pics Pics!
Seriously, how is it possible you don’t feel a piece of cloth in there?

I dunno, it just is.
It’s more comfortable then feeling the cheeks of your ass being quartered by the elastics in your big white knickers, believe me.
eehh, I’ll see if I’ve a suitable picture, but I’m not promising anything!

:eek:
The way I see it, women need to learn the wonder of boxers. No cloth in your buttcheeks, no lines and best of all, it makes pants completely opcional!
If thongs without pants are acceptable where you live, please advise so I can get an early start packing.

Ignore Chavardz, ELFJE, I happen to know he has a vast collection of semi-naked ladies in thongs, anyway I asked first.

I HATE wearing any kind of knickers, panties, underwear… call 'em what you will.
But if I MUST wear something along those lines I well and truly find thongs to be the most comfortable. As elfje said, when you’re wearing a thong it almost does feel as if you’re wearing nothing.
Less is best 😃

The findings of this thread concur with my initial observations. What I want to know is HOW? How is that possible?

I guess I’m bound to live in ignorance, I have a feeling even Cecil couldn’t tackle that one.
As for the semi-naked ladies in thongs Spogga, I’m still waiting for you to return the ones you borrowed.

Well, when you’re wearing regular underwear, more often than not you’ve got a big wadded up hunk of material trying to crawl up your crack. In a thong, it’s a very thin, soft piece of material that you don’t even notice. And it’s not like you wear them snugged right up against the old bunghole; if you’ve got any muscle tone in your cheeks at all, that’s enough to hold them at bay a little bit.

Yeah. They aren’t uncomfy because they’re _meant_ to be up your crack. They were designed that way on purpose. Other types of drawers, if they crawl up your crack, they’re uncomfy because they weren’t meant to be there and you have a big old wad of [sometimes scratchy] fabric jammed in there. I’ve been a thongs-only gal for several years and, believe me, there ain’t no going back.

This is all very well, you women going on about thongs and cracks and such.
I’m beginning to wish I hadn’t posted the question in the first place.

I have found thongs to be extremely comfortable, like others have said here. When regular panties creep, it is very uncomfortable.
It is something you get used to. They are way better than regular undies.

Thong wearer checking in.
If you have to wear underware, thongs should be the kind you wear. Once in place, you never feel them. And they are oh so sexy.
