Thongs are a type of underwear that feature a small strip of cloth stretching between the buttocks and attached to a band around the hips. They are popular with women as they eliminate panty lines. G-strings, a similar style, were originally worn by African tribes and sumo wrestlers.

A thong is a type of underwear similar to a thong. Its most identifying feature is the small strip, literally a rope, of cloth that stretches between the wearer’s buttocks and is attached to a band around the hips. A thong can be worn by men or women, but it is generally more popular with women. It doesn’t cover much compared to a standard pair of women’s panties, but wearing a thong does away with the dreaded panty line, the line that tells others exactly where a woman’s underwear is, under thinner fabrics and clothing. adjusted. Some swimsuits are also of a thong design, with the bottom of the bikini similar in appearance to thong underwear.

G strings began as underwear for men in various African tribes. Variations of the garment were also worn by sumo wrestlers and the fictional character Tarzan. When they started to get more mainstream, strippers were the people most likely to wear a thong. Underwear has become even more popular and popular.

One of the few things that the thong leaves to the imagination is the origin of its name, although there are a couple of theories. The first is that Native Americans called the loincloth-like garment they wore a “geestring.” It is believed that when the English colonists moved in, they renamed the garment and eventually took over its use.

Another theory is that the underwear got its name by shortening the term “girdle cord.” That term was mentioned in a 19th century book as a garment children wore around their waists, one similar to a loincloth. A girdle was a garment that women used to keep their bellies tight. Another theory holds that the underwear got its name from the G string, the lowest string on a violin. Compare the underwear to the position of the string on the instrument.

G-strings are not for everyone, but many people say that they are comfortable underwear. They are lightweight and the string at the back is so small that many people say it’s like not wearing underwear. For some, that’s more of a turnoff than a selling point, but others appreciate the comfort and relative invisibility. Other types of underwear that are similar include the V-string, T-string, and strapless C-string, all members of the thong underwear family. They all have a similar design, with most of the fabric in the front and a small, if any, triangle of fabric in the back.
