If you’ve been having trouble with your thongs feeling uncomfortable, you certainly aren’t alone.
Sure, there are a lot of ladies out there that absolutely love the way that thongs feel – the thinner and lighter the better – but there are plenty of women that have had a tough time with thongs being more uncomfortable than they ever expected.
We aren’t just talking about wedgies, either!
Thankfully though, troubleshooting any of the uncomfortable thong issues you might be dealing with is a whole lot easier than most people expect. There are maybe three or four likely reasons your thong may feel uncomfortable, and we troubleshoot them all below.
Use the inside information below to eliminate uncomfortable thong feelings once and for all. Let’s get right into it!
1. Wrong Fit
One of the biggest reasons that thongs feel uncomfortable is because the fit is all over the place across every different manufacturer.
Different styles of thongs are going to fit differently, but that’s to be expected. There’s no way that a traditional thong with plenty of coverage is going to feel the same as a G string.
But what we mean with fit is the actual size of the thong that you are wearing and how it fits your body.
Purchasing the same size from a bunch of different thong manufacturers will show you exactly how much variance and difference there is, and you’ll never really know exactly how a thong is going to fit up against your body until you actually slide it on.
As a general rule, though, if you are feeling like thongs are uncomfortable on a pretty consistent basis it’s not a bad idea to bump up a single size from what you normally wear.
This usually eliminates a lot of the comfortability issues you might have been dealing with before, helping you to feel a lot more comfortable while allowing the thong to sit up against your body like a second skin.
2. Wrong Fabric
The wrong fabric is going to contribute quite a bit to some thongs uncomfortable feelings.
Cotton remains king when it comes to underwear materials (for a bunch of different reasons), but some of the best G string thong options on the market today feature super thin synthetic materials as well as silk, satin, and more.
Cotton is going to stay in place more often than not while preventing punching up, all while staying pretty breathable and hygienic. The same cannot be said about synthetic materials or silk, satin, and polyester.
If your thong is shifting all over the place, riding up, and otherwise misbehaving – and generally just feeling everything but comfortable – though you like the fit you’ll want to start looking closer at the kinds of fabrics you have picked.
If all else fails, go with cotton and see if it makes a difference. The odds are pretty good that it will.
And if you're not sure which cotton thong to go with, here are our recommendations!
3. Wrong Style
We touched on this a little bit just a moment ago, but it is important to dive a little deeper into the value in finding the perfect style thong for your body and what you’re hoping to get out of this underwear in the first place.
Traditional thongs go great with pretty much everything, but because they are a little bit wider and a little bit thicker (most of the time) the potential for some panty lines to show is always going to exist.
At the same time, traditional thongs are far and away the most popular thongs available on the planet because they are so comfortable and because they are so versatile. You’ll want to have a couple of them in the rotation for sure.
G string thongs are quite a bit thinner and eliminate panty line potential almost entirely. But depending on the kind of thin material you have selected, it can either be a great thing or a horrible thing to wear on a regular basis.
You’ll want something that disappears up against your skin as opposed to a fabric and material that’s going to continue to whale up your cheeks and your waist, giving you a “whale tail”.
Samba style thongs (like cheeky bikini bottoms) sit somewhere in the middle of these types of thongs, a hybrid between boy short underwear and thong underwear that a lot of people find super comfortable.
Panty lines are pretty much a given with these underwear if you are wearing supertight pants, but if you are going with something a little looser fitting – or sundress, for example – you can’t go wrong.
4. Not Enough Thongs in the Rotation
Lastly, it’s always a good idea to have more than a handful of thongs on your regular rotation to avoid even just the slightest temptation to wear the same pair two days in a row without a wash.
Because thongs sit so much closer against your body than any other pair of underwear, the potential for them to collect bacteria shoots through the roof.
It doesn’t take very long for even the most hygienic thongs to get pretty bacteria ridden between washes – and in those situations general discomfort turns into a serious infection that can be a nightmare to deal with.
Thankfully though, this problem is eliminated entirely by getting a bunch of different thongs (across a bunch of different styles, fits, and fabrics) to have on hand.
You’ll be able to avoid ever having to wear the same thong twice in a row once and for all – kicking this problem to the curb permanently. And make sure you wash them properly.
Thongs Shouldn't be Uncomfortable to Wear
At the end of the day, if you're finding thongs uncomfortable, more often than not the four tips and tricks we highlighted above will usually settle down those problems almost overnight.
With so many different thong options on the market today it’s not hard to find a couple of pairs that really feel great, fit you perfectly, and that you can wear with pretty much anything and everything you might throw on without skipping a beat.
It doesn’t take a lot of digging to find thongs that are super comfortable – especially after you’ve read this quick guide!
