Why do girls wear thongs?

[funguy90]

I understand there are a variety of reasons. But it seems like most woman I have met seem to complain about wearing them, how they are uncomfortable, expensive, and so on. Yet they seem to have more pairs of thongs than other types of underwear. Why complain about it but still wear them? And yes I understand some woman will reply that they like them. Merely talking from previous experience.

I don't wear them, but most of the girls I know, usually wear them because it's sexy or because they want to hide underwear lines. I have a friend studying to be actress and usually wear clothes that requires underwear to be hidden.

However it's not comfortable to have a string in your ass. Some girls feel it's more comfy because the have gotten used to wear them, but if it was more comfortable to have a string in your as than to just have it covered, there would be more boys using male thongs.

[funguy90]

This was the answered to get from people. Slightly surprised it's so out numbered. And who's to say guys don't wear thongs :p

[AlienParasite]

That's why I said "there would be more" because I know there are male thongs, so there must be guys who use them regularly, but I don't know any boy who wears them, most of my friends (boys) prefer boxer briefs.

Besides I don't know why, but when I imagine a boy wearing a thong the first picture that comes to my mind is Borat wearing a mankini. Can't help it. 😅

[funguy90]

That is funny and also a terrible sight to imagine every time lol. Could be awkward if you ever are with a guy who wears one :p

They don't show any underwear lines, which given that the majority of women now wear exercise yoga pants out into public is a good thing. When I first started wearing thongs I hated them, but you get used to them in several weeks and theyre actually pretty comfy.
I find that theyre less expensive, as well.

[funguy90]

That's what i also find interesting. They wear it because of the yoga pants but the pants tend to be more see through or revealing than things like skinny jeans. Also didn't realize they were cheaper.

[VaIiant]

less fabric = less cost.
And ofc yoga pants are more revealing then jeans?

[funguy90]

That's a fair point in terms of cost. And with the yoga pants I was getting at that since they are more revealing wouldn't you want something to cover up more than a thong would.

[VaIiant]

Uhhh... yoga pants cover the same as jeans.

[funguy90]

I get they cover the body the same, some are more see through than others (I don't know brands, sorry) though.

[VaIiant]

Ahh... if you buy a cheap brand, sometimes, but I buy from Fabletics and they hold really well and even if squatting or bending over, you can't see anything.

[funguy90]

That would make sense, you get what you pay for. I would think a girl would check that before buying them. Or maybe they don't care who see's

[devilish-cutie]

I dont wear them and I dont get it either
for women to look good it always have to be uncomfortable or painful
Same goes for heels
both look sexy, can't deny that, but why not then just wear it for sex?
I think a lot of them get used to the discomfort but that doesn't mean its not there
I prefer to not suffer, cramps are enough a women must take + childbirth if you gotta have a kid

[tired_girl_]

I wear thongs because I like tight clothes and they're the only kind of underwear that doesn't allow for a visible pantie line on my butt

[tired_girl_]

But as a useless disclaimer, normal seamless thongs, not the weird kind that is in the picture

[funguy90]

Probably a bad picture but it was like the first thing that popped up on Google lol. So you dont find thongs uncomfortable or it's worth it to not have the panty lines

[tired_girl_]

You can't even feel the seamless kind it's very thin and the material is kind of like silk

[funguy90]

I'm starting to see why girls actually prefer them

[elizamichale2]

why do i need to cover my butt cheeks with so much materials? so thongs are more comfortable and no panty lines with them

[funguy90]

So you actually think they are a lot more comfortable vs others

[elizamichale2]

yup they are

[funguy90]

You are of the minority of woman I've met. Not that they didn't wear them but it wasn't their go-to

[elizamichale2]

well every1 have their choices honey

[funguy90]

No I get that

[elizamichale2]

alright

[funguy90]

Thank you for answering though

[elizamichale2]

no worries honey

[LadyDahliaS]

Things are more comfortable and I can wear skinny jeans/ yoga pants without the whole world seeing the outline of my underwear.

[funguy90]

Even though yoga pants still don't hide everything? Or you don't care if people can see

[LadyDahliaS]

I usually wear longer shirts so it's not a problem for me.

[funguy90]

i suppose that's one way to solve that problem haha

[LadyDahliaS]

Yup lol

[missaquarian]

I feel sexier whenever I wear jeans. No lines, and booty is popping.

[funguy90]

Less restricting for you

[yasii]

The only reason I ever bougth one is to get to the requested minimum value at asos

[funguy90]

So you don't wear them then you just own them

[AlysaurusRexxx]

I've got a big booty. No matter what kind of underwear I wear, I will have a wedgie within walking 10 feet. Might as well start out with a small one (because less fabric) than constantly fix a huge wedgie.

[funguy90]

That is a very real and practical answer

[aylajean]

More flexibility... and I don't havr to worry about underwear lines when I am wearing leggings. Now you may think, "then don't wear leggings" but I am a dancer. And even in dance class I don't want underwear lines

[funguy90]

Clearly thongs have either become more comfortable or aren't that bad to begin with. Makes sense to wear them though if you dance.

[aylajean]

I find them comfortable. I tried going back to regular underwear and found they UNcomfortable.

[funguy90]

I've seen the trend of woman finding them more comfortable. I guess the same could be said for guys who wear tighty whities vs boxers

[Anonymous]

Beauty is pain. Perhaps they do it for their partners.

[funguy90]

To feel sexy for their partner maybe...

[Opinion Owner]

Exactly

[janna_jcb]

I think thongs are very comfortable. They also don’t show panty lines

[funguy90]

Is it a big deal to have panty lines showing?

[janna_jcb]

It just looks less good, and makes you look sloppy

[funguy90]

Fair point
