Skimpy Thongs
From LoveToKnow Lingerie
Skimpy thongs are the answer for those who like to wear pants that have the potential to show panty lines, but don't want to be completely sans panties. They're also very erotic, so when you strip down in the bedroom after a long day, it's sure to be a treat for your lover. Don’t be surprised if they buy you more. You may also see them called string back panties or referred to as string thongs, G-strings or V-strings.
Wearing Skimpy Thongs
Sometimes panties are a nuisance. Pair the wrong style with your pants or skirt and you'll deal with bunching, wrinkling, panty lines, and discomfort. That's where skimpy thongs come into play. There is very little material to get caught up in your pants, and you're virtually guaranteed not to have panty lines. There are a few rules to wearing these skimpy thongs:
- Keep the waistband of the thong tucked inside your pants! Many women tend to let their thongs peek out of the top of their pants, especially in casual clothing such as blue jeans. Don't do it! Make sure your skimpy thongs are only seen by yourself and your significant other.
- They may be nearly invisible under clothing, but not if you're wearing light pants with bright white panties or panties with lace or other detail that can show through light or thin fabric. If your pants are light, try finding a nude pair of skimpy thongs (this will vary based on your skin tone) to wear. Finding thongs with little or no embellishments will also cut down on their visibility.
- Don't forget that skimpy thongs often come as part of very sexy lingerie sets. So while you may pull them out of the drawer on occasion to wear with a basic bra underneath your work clothes, don't forget their intended purpose. Wear them in the bedroom sometime! They'll make you feel like a boudoir goddess.
Where to Buy Your Barely-There Underpants
You can buy skimpy thongs just about anywhere that sells lingerie, so if you have a favorite boutique, check there. Department store shopper? No problem; they probably have skimpy thongs on their shelves, too. If you're looking for direction, however, here are a few places to start your search for the perfect tiny thong:
- Victoria's Secret goes hand in hand with the idea of incredibly sexy—and sometimes barely-there—lingerie. Tiny thongs are no exception, and you'll find styles that range from fairly plain to sexy, feminine, and downright sassy.
- Speaking of sassy, no one does it quite like Frederick's of Hollywod. Their thongs are very reasonably priced and incorporate sparkle, charms, and more, though you can still find relatively plain styles to go under even the most close-fitting bottoms.
- 3Wishes is another site that does micro bottoms right. When you check out their G-string/thong selection, you'll see metallics, Playboy bunnies, simple Lycra, and more. One thing to notice here, though, is that they're often labeled "one size fits all."
- Bare Necessities doesn't have the skimpiest of all thongs, but they do have a few. Check out the Elita Low Rise Thong with Lace, the Dolce & Gabbana Amenone Nero Thong, the Jezebel Satine Thong, and the Calvin Klein Perfectly Fit Seduction String Thong to name a few.
A Final Word
When you're purchasing skimpy thongs, keep the type of pants or skirt you'll be wearing them with in mind. A skimpy thong, no matter how skimpy, won't be hidden if it's the wrong color or rides up above the waistline of your pants.
Remember also that you can purchase them as part of a lingerie set if you wish (you can shop at the retailers listed above to find those as well) and get extra mileage out of them.
Enjoy the versatility of your new skimpy thongs. Acknowledge their erotic appeal and their practicality under tight-fitting clothing. These are the panties for those who wish they felt comfortable going without panties.
