So many people see a thong as a 'gives-you-a-wedgie' level of uncomfortable underwear. But they couldn't be more wrong. This little piece of garment does not only make you feel ten times sexier but also provides that extra level of desired comfort. Let us break it to you- those big granny underpants you swear by aren't your only option.
In fact, thongs are one of the must-haves in your lingerie closet. If you're still feeling paranoid about this style of underwear, let us guide you from picking to wearing a thong in a way that you feel comfortable and fab.
There is so much to rave about thongs. But first, you should know what to expect.
A thong mainly covers your front parts, leaving you with an almost bare backside. So flaunting your curves is a bonus. And if that ain't your jam, you do have plenty of style options. Plus, they have many more perks that deserve a mention.
Here's how to wear a thong.
Benefits of Wearing a Thong
Comfortable
Tucking material into your bum may not sound breezy at all. But many thong-wearers find this to be the most comfortable underwear.
With a good quality thong and the right fit, you will learn that having less material ultimately makes you feel more at ease. On the flip side, regular undies have all that extra fabric that frequently bunches up and awkwardly sticks inside too.
During the hot tropical weather, thongs are rightfully the most endorsed undergarment. The fabric has a wicking effect that keeps you feel cooling while saving you from those awful sweaty bums. Also, less material means less stuffiness when it's already hot outside.
No wedgies (really!)
We've all secretly faced the torture of pulling out that sticking underwear from the crack when no one's watching. (or we hope so.) This happens because regular underwear can often be too big or small from behind. This happens because they are all sized based on waist measurements, without taking hip sizes into account.
And with tighter pants, you eventually always get a wedgie that puts 'you' in a tight spot.
With a thong, you do have a tiny amount of fabric pushing into your back but that seemingly annoying sensation soon vanishes away. All it takes is a little time to adjust, provided you purchased the perfect style, fit, and quality of course.
Say bye-bye to visible panty lines
Ever wear a body-hugging dress or your best pair of yoga pants, ready to conquer the world, until... you notice that your bum shows lines underneath. Regular underwear is not shaped to accommodate this issue and has thicker hems that stand out. It's a true letdown.
But thongs are meant to save your day, letting your cheeks shine in all their glory.
Feel like a bombshell
If there's one underwear that just screams sexy; it's a thong. If you like rocking a barely-there kind of undergarment that makes you feel sensual and attractive, this one's' a winner.
Even if you don't need a thong for all-day wear-keep some just for those special nights. They're truly intimate and sensual.

Choosing the Right Thong
The wonders of wearing a thong can only be appreciated when you pick the right one for yourself. So, what makes a thong 'your' ideal thong?
Size
When it comes to underwear, size matters way more than people realize.
With a thong, you need to try on a few sizes to figure out what feels best. If it's too small, you'll just feel uncomfortable. While a bigger one will probably be visible and not in stay in place.
A size chart can be quite useful too. But your best bet is to try them on first, move around, sit, squat, and see how it feels.
But there are some general tips to guide first-time thong wearers. If you wear pants more often, you wouldn't feel too good wearing a thong that rises above the beltline. Whereas dress lovers would find high-waisted thongs to be more appropriate.
Thong Style
Traditional Thongs
This thong gives you full coverage at the front, with an inch-wide strip at the back paired with a wide waistband.
Tanga/Samba
This one is a sexy hybrid between regular undies and a traditional thong. It gives some extra coverage at the back, while also maintaining the classic thong look.
G-string
The most minimal thong design. A G-string uses an elastic string to connect the front part, a triangular piece of cloth, with the almost bare backside.
Fabric
Before you rush into wearing a thong, take some time to understand which fabric suits you the most. This is essential to ensure a satisfying wearing experience. Choose a cotton thong for elastic, breathable, comfortable everyday wear. We suggest you save the lace, silk, satin for the special occasions, or days you want to feel extra sexy.
How to Wear A Thong
Now that you've figured out all the basics of buying your ultimate thong, its' time to step into this delightful little garment.
Always wear a thong that goes with the style of your bottoms and the level of your waistline. The higher cut styles are best paired with high-rise jeans and vice-versa.
Now take a look at the piece of fabric to figure out the front, back, leg holes. Understand your thongs' anatomy, so you don't rush out wearing it backward or sideways and squirming in discomfort all day.
Bring up the thong in front of your body and put each leg through. When you pull the thong up into place, you might feel a wedgie. You'll stop feeling it at all in a few minutes- promise.
You can now adjust the back string or fabric in a way that it fits in between your butt cheeks. Tug and play around with it, until you find the most comfortable sweet spot.
With time, you'll learn how functional and sexy a thong can be. They're versatile little fabrics that give you a seamless look all day. Plus, you'll feel like a delicately wrapped present ready to unleash your sexiness any time.
All it takes is some time to getting accustomed to wearing a thong... and boom... your cute buns will be thanking you in no time!
