First off, both thongs and g-strings lose the "function of underwear" for both comfort and hygiene. Yeah, yeah, yeah, they are "sexy" but that's because of the skillful advertising of lingerie companies and the stupid hype you see on magazines and films. But hey, if a girl wants to wear those garments and then really believes that its the garment that makes her "sexy and confident" as all the trash media manipulates the two marbles clattering around in her skull to think... well, then let her do it. I hold the line though on the young numbskulls below the age of 12. I'd rather help them spend time becoming physically strong, emotionally independent, and intellectually acute. Having these as a set of skills goes well with a bare ass any day!

No g-string thong until 16, however regular thong is fine because I know I myself find them more comfortable than any other type of underwear. No less than 12 though because generally thongs tend to be more comfortable than briefs (in my experience) when you have more curves on your body, and that tend to come more for girls as they age.
Could do with something that’s not lacy and sexy such as:

My parents let me when I was like 15ish I think.
We were well aware of different underwear at primary school. Thongs etc would not have been allowed then, at least not at school. My mum did have some limits! At home, it is a bit different. Having been brought up as a naturist, thongs would not have been a problem. It is more that I always wanted to be comfortable, and even now, I find them awful to wear.
It reminded me of a rhyme we used to say at primary school:
Ooh! Ah! I lost my bra!
I left it in my boyfriend's car!
I got my first thong when I was 15. I started wearing them regularly when I was 16 and added g-strings to the mix at 17. If I have a daughter, if she decides she wants to wear thongs, I would be ok with it once she gets to high school. About 14 or 15 seems about the earliest it would be age appropriate.
At 14 my daughter was buying her own clothes. I didn't care as long as she didn't get sent home from school.
that would be none of my business. because whatever I say, she'll find a way to buy and wear what she wants

I'm gonna say sixteen is fair.
I personally don't understand what the big deal is lol it's just underwear no one sees it. Once I got to the age where I was buying my own clothing and undergarments, my mom never even stopped to look at the type of underwear I wear, yet I have a friend who's turning 20 and she tells me her mom would never let her wear thongs...
i doubt parents buy their kids thongs. or know about it. the teenager would just save up and buy it, i imagine. my parents did not monitor my underwear collection. nor was i interested in wearing dental floss. uncomfortable & kind of defeats the original purpose of wearing them. hygiene.
I was like 18 before I tried them. I do not care what underwear my children decide to wear, I don't see why that's particularly my business. I wouldn't be particularly comfortable with it before like 16 but since I'm not the one wearing it and thongs aren't necessarily even bad things, I'm not going to have some weird ass underwear rule.
My mum bought me my first gstring when i was 14 .. it was just black cotton nothing to sexy. but i found them comfy now i have a couple draws full of gstring mostly real pretty , tiny ones that cost a lot... can't skimp on price if you want quality.
Id let my daughter wear a gstring when she gets to 13 or 14She can wear whatever. I wear panties but only like 60% of the time. The other time in naked or no panties.
My parents never cared what underwear I was wearing. When my future daughter is old enough to feel the need to wear a thong, she can have one.
No one ever told me that I could or could not at a certain age.
It just came to a point where that's what I wanted to wear and made a gradual transition as I got older.I was 12 when I first started wearing them. I just went shopping with friends and got them, my mum had no say
Underwear is underwear, i started wearing thongs when i started wearing leggings and clothes that look dumb with underwear lines, my mom used to make fun of me for underwear lines lol so it was a simple decision
My mom didn't care about the type of underwear so it's not a big deal to me. I had my first thong at about 9 years old.
My mom bought be thongs when I was around 15 because "I should get used to them." I wore them a couple times and decided I didn't like them.
I agree with some of the other posters. I don't care what underwear she wears, but I wouldn't buy thongs for her. If she wants to wear them, she would have to buy them for herself.
I bought my first thong at 15. My mother had no problem with it. She probly would've let me buy one earlier, but I wasn't really interested in thongs before age 15.
My daughter first wore one at 15. (her age now)
Mom never let me or sis wear them as teens. My sister wore them as soon as she moved out on her own.
My daughter had brought up the subject of being able to wear a thong when she was 14. I had told her i thought she was too young.
My sister and mom thought i was unfair and in fact my mom bought my daughter a thong.When she can buy them herself and at least be a junior in high school. Other cute and lacey underwear is fine, but g-strings? That's something else. And no, they aren't just underwear.
I don't really care. Either way, most kids don't even know things exist until about middle school, so it seems like an issue that wouldn't come up until then.
Guess mom would have the upper hand on that one until you are old enough to buy your own undies.
Also doubt there are many preteens that know all that much about thongs and such.Its underwear I don't see the big problem, personally I like boxers but I get why most girls like panties
When she earns the money to buy them.. sure. I wouldn’t be buying it for her.
