Thong VS G String

A woman's eternal quest to end the visible panty line is the reason that many women have turned to G-strings and thongs. Thongs and G-strings prevent panty lines, but they are known for being rather uncomfortable. Learning the difference between the two may mean finding the most comfortable fit.

History

In the 1960s and early 70s the G-string came into fashion in Brazil. They were worn as underwear and swimwear, and often only worn by exotic dancers as part of their show. It wasn't until decades later that the G-string came to be popular for the average woman.

Types

A G-string and thong are different because they have a different amount of fabric. A thong has about ½ and to an inch back panel, covering the bottom. A G-string has a much narrower piece of fabric. Thongs come in a variety of styles, including the thong boy short, lace and the bikini thong. A G-string has less variety, with it's most common style is a V-string. The V-string splits into a V at the top of the female's bottom.

Fabric Used

G-strings are typically made to be seen, rather than worn as everyday underwear. For this reason they are most often made from satin, chiffon, lace or other pretty (but not useful) fabric. Thongs are worn for longer periods of time and for this reason, come in more durable fabrics, such as cotton, stretch lace and microfiber.

Benefits

Both thongs and G-strings prevent panty lines. It is important to choose a comfortable fit and fabric. Make sure the fit is not too tight, as to avoid cutting into the skin. Fabric that has a small amount of give may be best to wear under clothes and provide the smoothest look.
