Why Do Women Wear Thongs?

The general reaction towards thongs is divided between "I hate them" and "I love them", without any wiggle room in between.

Let's be honest, the thought of having a piece of fabric cemented between your cheeks doesn't sound very appealing or comfortable.

But it turns out than many women (or men, if that's what you're into) prefer thongs over any other underwear.

As a thong-virgin you might be thinking: how can someone be crazy enough to want that?

Good thing that you came across this article; keep reading to find out why it is that women are insane enough to wear, and prefer thongs over other underwear.

1. No Visible Panty Lines

When you're wearing your favorite dress or skinny jeans that make your butt look like you are Kim K, the last thing you want is for your underwear lines to be seen. This is probably one of the best advantages of wearing a thong; it will never ever show.

Of course your other option is to go commando and not wear any underwear at all, but that is not the most hygienic way to do it. It's probably better to stick to a thong in that case.

2. Thongs Are So Comfortable

Thongs are comfortable

Believe it or not, wearing a thong is extremely comfortable; if you pick the right one, you won't even feel that you are wearing it. There is nothing nicer than the combination of yoga pants paired with a thong.

There are plenty of options to choose from to make your thong wearing experience a comfortable one. Think of lace, satin, or plain cotton; whatever it is, as long as it is made from a stretchable material that allows lots of movement it will be a winner.

3. You Feel Sexy

Even if you are wearing the PJ's that your grandma gave you for Christmas, with a thong underneath you are bound to feel sexy. Many women will choose to wear a thong for this reason, that it makes them feel sexy and confident.

Women deserve to feel sexy no matter what they are doing; sitting at their desk at work, going to the gym, or cleaning. There is no reason to not wear the bejeweled red thong when you go to take out the trash.

4. They Improve Your Body Shape

Wearing the right type and size of thong can seriously alter the way your body looks. It can improve the way your body is shaped and make your butt and hips look bigger and better.

A thong is able to accentuate a woman's hip cleavage, this is often done by wearing a high waisted thong. Hip cleavage is the roll of skin that pops up above the hip when you sit or bend down.

5. A Turn-On for The Opposite Sex

Even though women shouldn't do or wear things just for the opposite sex to enjoy it, it is not harmful to set the mood by throwing on some lacy goodness. Men will easily admit that a woman wearing a thong is one of the most attractive things.

Obviously it is not required to wear one every time that you are with someone of the opposite sex, although it is quite a deal breaker if you wear grandma panties there where the magic happens.

Apart from having different materials to choose from, there are simply so many designs, prints, shapes, and colors that will surround you as soon as you accept to enter the world of thongs.

There is definitely a pair of thongs out there for everyone, the options range from those which are the most extra, to the simplest, most basic thong you have seen.

7. Not Very Expensive

This, of course, entirely depends on what store or what brand you will go to to get your thong. There are however some very good deals out there when buying thongs, for example $25 for 5 pieces.

8. Space Friendly

Not only are thongs generally cheap, they are also incredibly practical. If you were to fold them, you could easily fit about 5 thongs in your pocket, and that's just your pocket.

One shelf or one drawer is more than enough for heaps and heaps of thongs. Save space and buy thongs.

9. No Unnecessary Sweating

In very simple terms; wearing a thong means there is less material on your skin than if you wear regular underwear. This means you won't be as hot and you will sweat less. Sweating less will also avoid buttne (butt acne), especially during hot summer days.

Why Women Wear Thongs

To sum up, there is pretty much not a reason to not wear a thong, which also explains and answers the question why so many women wear thongs. You won't feel the thong itself when you wear it, but what you will feel is like the confident and sexy woman you are.

With so many different kinds of thongs out there on the market, with prices ranging from very low to very high, there is bound to be something there for each and every lady. They accentuate the butt, hips, and the overall body, making women feel sexy and powerful.

It is also not a secret that men love to see a woman in a thong, at least every once in a while. Whether you are at the gym, at work, or on the couch, a thong is ideal for any kind of movement your body makes, and the best part is that it won't show on your jeans, leggings, dress, or pajamas.
