What are Thongs?
In simple terms, thongs are tiny triangular panties that only provide front coverage, rendering a sexy exposure to the buttocks. There’s a thin strip of fabric that stretches right from the mid-waist band to the rear, goes between the buttocks and joins the triangular front piece of the garment.
Types of Thongs that You Should Know About
Before anything, we must understand multiple factors define their differences. One of the major factors that determine their differences is the coverage that each of them provides you. In fact, they even exude certain vibes. While some can be used for everyday wear, some are specifically made for those special nights. Their fabric and construction play a major role in making them all stand apart.
- Classic Thong
If you’re looking for thongs to wear on an everyday basis, then a classic style should be your best pick. It provides more coverage to the crotch and has a T-shaped back with no coverage, exposing the buttocks.
- G-String
Designed for minimal play, a typical G-string thong has an elastic string that bridges the front part of the underwear to the waistband at the rear. In a nutshell, it’s a triangular piece of cloth with string.
- C-String
These thongs make a huge ‘C’, thereby justifying the name. They cover only the intimate areas and do not include waist support in the form of strings or elastic. However, they include a flexible internal frame that ensures that it stays intact.
- Cheeky
If you want maximum coverage, swear by the ‘cheeky’ thong. They cover a good part of the front while still providing decent exposure to the buttocks.
- Tanga
If you want to spice things up while having enough coverage in the crotch area, a tanga is what you need. With enough coverage at the front but little to the buttocks, tanga has a thin waist panel. Strictly speaking, it is just a string that holds the fabric from front to back.
- Seamless Thongs
Designed with no seams, seamless thongs should be your choice if you are picking the classic category. Soft, comfortable, and stretchable as they are, their best-considered quality is how they leave no lines under your fitted outfits.
Based on Fabric
- Cotton
Undergarments made of cotton are perhaps the most popular and opted ones. Thongs are no exception here. Because cotton thongs are breathable while being the most gentle on the skin, they are often opted for everyday wear.
- Lace

- Mesh or Powernet
Leaving very little to the imagination, powernet thongs are as sensual. They are see-through which makes them a must-have for your hot date nights. Besides, they are extremely which ensure your comfort all the while.
- Polyamide or Nylon
These fabrics are mostly used in seamless thongs. Designed with laser-cut edges, they leave no chance of giving you visible panty lines. Plus, their fabrics like spandex, nylon, and polyamide, make them much more comfortable and stretchable.
