Default Thongs, strings or big knickers?

Thongs and strings are being dropped by many brands as sales slow down with higher sales in shorts and briefs. At one point thongs and strings accounted fro over 40% of knicker styles and is now at under 10%.

So whats everyones preference- on a woman- I don't need to know about which boys on here like wearing thongs...

Quick guide to shapes;

Thong- has a wedge of fabric at teh back that sits inbetween the bum.
Striing- a thin piece of elastic that sits between the bum cheeks
Brazilian- a but away brief that has a back seam, fabric tends to sit inc rease of bum and has low coverage
Tanga/bikini- full coverage on back but low rise
Brief- fuller coverage on back and slightly higher coverage around waist
High leg- full coverage back with high cut leg and high waist
Maxi- full coverage everwhere- think Bridget Jones
Boxer- full coverage on backside and covers top of thigh
boyshort/shortie- girl cut short- slightly more cut away on the leg than a boxer.
Cheekie short- short cut very skimpy on the backside

Bugger forgot to put brazilians in the poll

ah, I interpreted them as those little boy short things.

Anyway, I voted for boyshorts - they look great on a round ass.

I either wear M&S briefs (I think they call them 'cotton slips') or my wife's thongs.

Default Re: Thongs, strings or big knickers?

Thong= no fabric covering bum cheeks
Bikini/tanga = coverage at back but low rise so low coverage at side
Brief = coverage at back and slightly higher coverage than a bikini so there is more fabric at the sides

Default Re: Thongs, strings or big knickers?

Cheeky or shortie for me. Or commando under a short pleated skirt, best accompanied by self-supporting stockings. With a schoolgirl blouse, knotted at the 4th button. And pony tails. Plus 7 inch heels. And a pout. Err...what was the question?

Stop being so mean. Have you got PMT this week or something? The middle picture is normal. Christ, no one had even heard of cellulite a few years ago, never mind fret about it as it it was something awful or freaky.


kittycat1 - your threads are an education. They are usually just knickers to me, some more uncomfortable than others
