How to Pick the Right Thongs?
Honestly speaking, thongs are like the boldest & sexiest ones in the lingerie category. They say that thong isn’t a thing for every woman and claim them to be uncomfortable. Well, we refuse to agree on that. We truly believe there’s nothing like an uncomfortable thong in the underfashion world. In fact, researchers suggest that a large number of women consider thongs to be more comfortable than regular styles. Wondering how & why? Maybe they have mastered the art of picking the right lingerie for themselves.

Let’s Seek the Right Thongs for You!
Choosing regular underwear might not be that tricky, but with thongs, things are a bit different, especially, if you want to stay comfortable all day long! Thus, check the below pointers for the same:
Size
We are sure most of you try at least 2-3 styles or sizes of denim when picking a well-fitted pair of jeans. And it totally makes sense because the right size can make or break your appearance. Then why not for your innerwear, too? In fact, it’s the first piece of fabric that goes onto your skin. Picking a smaller size will cause the back string to dig too much into the skin, making it very painful and discomforting. On the contrary, picking a bigger size may lead to extra fabric gathering on the back and creating unsightly bumps. So always make sure you pick a snug fit.
Fabric
Nothing gets closer to your skin than lingerie. It is important to carefully pick a thong according to your usage, weather and occasion. If you are looking for a thong for everyday use, we suggest you should go for a cotton thong. Cotton is known for its skin-friendly nature and breathability features. Such a fabric is ideal for hot & humid weather. Thongs are also available in butter-soft polyamide fabric; they feature a seamless and smooth finish under body-hugging outfits. Polyamide has a subtle sheen to it which makes the fabric feel plush and colours look bright.
Colour
Most women don’t bother about colours when it comes to lingerie. The common reason behind this being- ‘I’m gonna wear this inside, who’s gonna see it anyways?’ Ladies, just in case you don’t realise, your panty at times is very much visible. If you are wearing a bright neon shade under a fitted black dress, trust me ladies it’s going to show. Or wearing a pink printed thong under a white pencil skirt- ahem… embarrassing. So girls, put in a bit of thought while picking the right thongs. Pick a nude one for white & light-coloured outfits. Pick a shade that merges with your natural skin tone and let your panty be a secret! Ssshh…
Outfit
Thongs are among those panty styles that don’t really restrict your outerwear. However, you must be careful about the designs and styles that you pick. You can easily don any kind of thong under a flared dress or skirt. Wearing it under a fitted pair of jeggings or a bodycon dress will help you eliminate panty lines. But if your thong has lace trims along the waist or leg openings or metallic embellishments, there is a high chance that it would show under body-fitted outfits. Always pick a laser-cut thong for body-hugging outfits, these usually come with silicon tapes on the inner side which fits you like a glove without leaving a trace of its existence.
Purpose
The most obvious purpose of a thong is to eliminate embarrassing panty lines and make your outfit look chic and clean. Another purpose of a low-waist thong is to avoid panty peeks when you wear low-waist jeans. But what if it is a sexy lacy thong? *wink* Well, who can resist that?! We assure you that he will fall head over heels for you.
Now, shall we wrap things up for you? To do so, you may look at the below table that could help you while picking the right thongs:
