Thong
Thongs have been most popular in the past with exotic dancers. And for a long time, they were the only women who were brave enough to wear them. Thongs became commonplace in countries like Brazil, first, but once everyone caught on to the trend, singer Sisqo released a song entitled the “Thong Song” and suddenly, mainstream shoppers were onto this item of underwear and it began to gain popularity with women all over the world.
So, what types of thongs are there? More than you would think! Here are the most popular types, and what they mean:
| G-String Thong: G-String thongs are the type of thong that is strictly string, with no coverage at all. Tanga: Tangas are a step up from your average bikini underwear, with nearly a full seat. T-Back: T-Backs are very obviously named. They form a perfect “T” shape in the back. T-backs tend to ride high on the hips and are the ones visible above low-cut jeans and skirts. Rio: This is the most popular style of thong, with straps that rise up on the sides, rather them going straight across the back. |
Why you would wear a thong: Thongs are usually worn to prevent VPL - Visible Panty Line – which some say is a worse travesty than socks with sandals. They’re also comfortable, sexy. Help glamourise your wardrobe and make you feel good about yourself.
Hipster / Boy short
By most accounts boy shorts are the most comfortable and fun type of underwear and they are gaining a massive following. This type of underwear provides a full seat and a cool, laid back sporty look. They're cut more like shorts, and are usually low rise. They're great to wear under jeans and for working out. They usually hit right at the hip, and have full coverage. The difference between hipsters and boy shorts is that boy shorts tend to have a bit of a leg in them while hipsters are cut off high on the thigh.
Why would you wear hipsters or boy shorts? If you’re athletic and like comfortable, easy fitting underwear they are perfect for you.
High rise briefs
High rise briefs come up to the belly button or higher, have a full and roomy seat and come high on the thigh. These are the most conservative of all daily wear underwear. They’re easy to care for, very comfortable to wear and come fully into their own during that time of the month, when, as we all know, comfort is the only thing that matters.
