Can you tell I've been off work today?

Here's another question that's been bugging me. It's in regards to underwear... specifically, thong underwear.


I've been told repeatedly by friends that it's just like regular underwear, that you don't even realize you have it on, that it is more comfortable than normal underwear.

Why am I not having that same experience? I went out 2 days ago and decided to try it, since I was tired of panty lines. So I bought 3 pair - not G-strings, not bikinis, not hipsters, not my good old comfortable briefs... but thongs.

And I put a pair on. And wore it all day.

I've never thought more about my ass in one 12 hour period. I mean, if I had this feeling when I was wearing the granny pants (briefs), I'd have reached back, grabbed the lower leg, and pulled it out. But that isn't an option here.

So I tried again today - a different pair, cut a bit differently, different material... same thing.


Does this get better?

It really doesn't :)) It might just be me but I never got used to it. Permanent wedgie >:O >:O >:O

Hrm...thongs are basically the only thing I wear, even under my scrubs....except at home. Then I like the grannies!

I would say yes it gets better, although I don't even remember when I started wearing them....you have to find a style that suits you best however! But the lack of panty line is worth the discomfort in the beginning! :)

I know that I find them to be too uncomfortable. I don't know if it the shape of one's butt that matters, but my flattish Irish ass no likey ;) There are plenty of other sexy undies out there (and I never thought a thong looked sexy). The low riding hipsters are a personal favorite of mine.

My girlfriends don't wear thongs any longer either. I think it was a college/HS thing when people still had stick thin bodies. You have to have an amazing backside to show it off like that.

Er/... what's the difference between a G-string and a thong?

If they're similar to G-strings, then it doesn't so much as get better, but you get used to the feeling of permanent wedgie. :>

So I rarely wear them. I think it might depend on person though.

I have only worn them since I highschool because I hate panty lines. They don't bother me at all, unless they are too small. Is it possible that you got a size too small? Then they will definitely be very uncomfortable.

I am gonna go with Miss Rhi on this one. I would try and buy a size larger than you might normally wear and see if you have the same problem. Just like some clothes you wear a size up or down I would say thongs you definately want them to give you a little more room. Also doctors have said that you have a higher risk of UTI and yeast infections if they are too small since (forgive me)... just think about why they tell you to whip front to back. I started wearing them in college and I seriously rarely wear the others. My only recommendation is do not sleep in them. Either go commando (which I've heard Doctors actually recommend) or go for the granny's to sleep in.

LOL - no problem!

I'll try that...

I tried the boy pants... instead of a wedgie, it bothered me by riding up my ass cheek. Probably doesn't help that they aren't small. Oh, well. Live and learn.

Next time I find a good fitting pair of panties, I'm buying 30!

Depends on the brand/style. Some I can't feel a thing and some feel like a giant wedgie.

[summer-skin.livejournal.com]

I wore thongs for awhile a few years ago and I didn't mind them after awhile. I don't really ever wear them anymore, just because I like boy-cut underwear better. Panty lines be damned!

[thanks-thankyou.livejournal.com]

I hate thongs. I tried wearing them before. But like already stated - permanent wedgie.

[burnitbackwards.livejournal.com]

i only wear them when i go out drinking, because then i can get drunk enough not to feel it. haha.

[phluphee.livejournal.com]

oh, the evils of thongs :

[qafhappy.livejournal.com]

So I'm taking it, that it's kind of like the Epilady? I mean, really hyped, all your friends say they use them... but when you try it, no way!

At least I didn't break out into a cold sweat when the thong brushed across my ankle.

LOL

yes. the torcher device made by a bunch of masoginistic monkees. i tried to wear thongs a couple of times and it always felt like i had a rubberband up my butt...

Great Thong Story

[smartwomn1.livejournal.com]

My mom, Barbara, who is in her 70s, has been buying her underwear at Penny's for, like, all her life. (Probably 3 pair to a plastic package.) Sure they're grandma style, but she is a grandma to my brother's kids. She goes to Penny's recently and is looking for her undies. Store clerk approaches to help. Store clerk is 12. Barbara explains what she's looking for. Clerk says, oh, we don't carry those anymore. But we have some great thongs. This is one of those family stores that make you pee your pants -- or thong -- as the case may be.
