Brazilian Tanga

Brazilian Tanga underwear is very similar to thong underwear.

Some use the word Tanga and thong synonymously. There are similarities in the fit and design of the two, but they are also slightly different. In the United States, Brazilian tanga underwear, believe it or not, has a little more material than thongs, g-strings and t-strings. There are, however, variations of Brazilian tanga underwear:

• Boy short cut – This type of tanga panties is cut similar to a boy short. It sits higher on the hips and lower on the legs than bikini cut underwear.
• Low rise cut – Sits low on the hips and high on the legs, giving the butt a bit of exposure.
• String Tanga – This type of underwear (and swimsuit) for both men and women has a waistband, a front and a string in the back, but has no material on the sides so the hips and upper thighs are exposed. The waistband on this tanga design can either be a thin or wide piece of material. If it's wide, you'll get more coverage on the hips.
• "Cheeky" cut – Cut similar to a boy short, this type of tanga underwear is referred to as a "cheeky" style of underwear because it is cut high in the back, exposing the bottom of your butt cheeks.

If you aren't into wearing thongs or g-strings, the cheeky Brazilian tanga is the perfect compromise. These underwear have very thin waistbands are high enough on the cheek to avoid the dreaded visible panty line because most have no band at the leg, but low enough to be comfortable. They also reveal just enough skin on the butt to be super sexy. It's the perfect cross between a brief and a thong, because although most women that have worn thongs say they are comfortable, they do take some getting used to at first.

If you are looking to start wearing a thong or g-string and want something to help you make the transition from full cheek coverage to no cheek coverage, a pair of Brazilian tanga style underwear is perfect to help you get the feel of the fit. That way, when you do make the transition, the thong will feel more comfortable.
