    Yours and forever: Thongs

    EYE catching and functional, thong underwear is now the basis of most women’s lingerie drawers. Formerly the realm of exotic dancers, sexy thongs are now the lingerie of choice for women of all ages because there’s nothing better than a no-show thong under tight-fitting skirts. When first introduced, many women found it uncomfortable, they are designed to rest on the hips so, naturally, ladies sense the discomfort of the thong being too high in the crotch but manufacturers have cut thongs with a longer rise and the comfort level is now very high. Why wear thongs? This question is a common one amongst ladies but the advantages give reason to the use. There are no panty lines, they are extremely sexy, low rise thongs are a great solution to low rise fashion and they can be comfortable when worn nicely. Although there are slight variations between them, a G-string is a thong. When buying, you should select one made with lace or trims but make sure it is flat and stretches. For a first time wearer, you should start with thongs that have high rise and a wide waistband. If you have generous hips, opt for the Rio style, because of the curvy line it creates around the hips. Tidy grooming is a must when wearing a thong; make sure your area is absolutely clear of hairs before putting one on. Cotton is a great choice because it breathes, absorbs and is soft but you should know that 100% cotton will lose its elasticity. The more your thong stretches the more comfortable you will feel. Silk has the same characteristics as cotton but it is thinner and feels sexier. Select a thong with die-cut edges for total elimination of panty lines. Wicking fabrics are also good because they pull moisture away from your body. If you want an invisible look, a nude thong would be the best. Black thongs are always the sexiest with or without lace details. White ones are traditionally one by brides but the most popular is the pink colour. This is probably because girls like pink and it makes the announcement of being a girlie girl.
