# Lingerie Hacks: Thongs

**By Lavinia Lingerie** · 2020-04-13

**[Thongs](https://lavinialingerie.com/collections/thongs "Sexy Sheer Thongs, Plus Size Lace Thong Panties @ Lavinia Lingerie")** are thin lined panties that are often triangular-shaped and hold no coverage material. If you’ve ever been around women or dipped into a **[lingerie](https://lavinialingerie.com/collections/lingerie "Balconette Bras, Full Figure Bras, Lace Push-Up Bras @ Lavinia Lingerie")** discussion, then you have likely heard about one or more kinds of thongs. There are actually three main kinds, the **[G-string](https://lavinialingerie.com/collections/g-strings-panties "Sexy Sheer G-Strings @ Lavinia Lingerie")**, the classical thong and the tanga/samba.

It has a narrow-typically elastic waistband, a thin line that cuts the cervix of the button known as the “G-string” and a triangular patch material in the front. Try **[Wolbar Maracca](https://lavinialingerie.com/products/g-string-thong-wolbar-maracca-wb3003 "Sexy String G-String Thong Panty Bridal Lingerie")**.

It offers a full-frontal coverage and a less narrow waistband and slit at the back. Try **[Pamela thongs by Gorteks](https://lavinialingerie.com/collections/thong-panties-pamela-gorteks-lingerie "Sheer Lace Low Rise Thong Panty Bridal Lingerie")**.

The tanga/samba thong is a thong variation of the **[traditional bikini panty](https://lavinialingerie.com/collections/bikini-panties "Bikini Panties, Plus Size Sheer Lace Panties @ Lavinia Lingerie")**. The fabric is usually light but not as narrow as he other designs. It also has a thin line that runs in while leaving most of the butt exposed. Try **[Laumelle’s Kiss](https://lavinialingerie.com/products/elegant-tanga-panty-laumelle-kiss-lm27f60 "Semi Sheer Mesh Tanga Panty Laumelle Kiss")**.

So why would anyone want to wear a thong? Well, the great thing about thongs is how easy they are to put on, how comfortable they can be when worn and the print-free look they give when we were trousers and fitted dresses.

Can you sleep in a thong? Yes, but like any underwear, it is not advisable to do so. The vagina needs air to breathe, the night-time is perfect for this.

Is there an age limit? No, age has nothing to do with who can or cannot wear a thong.

Are they always uncomfortable? No. One top benefit of wearing a thong is the comfort it allows due to the scarcity of material. Therefore, choosing the type of material can be really important for comfort and health reasons.

Loving the idea of thongs, try some of my personal recommendations; **[Scarlet by Gorteks](https://lavinialingerie.com/products/sheer-lace-thong-panty-gorteks-scarlet-powder-pink "Sheer Lace Thong Panty Gorteks Scarlet Powder Pink")**, **[Adagio by Ajour](https://lavinialingerie.com/products/sheer-mesh-thong-ajour-adagio-aj3885 "Sexy Sheer Mesh Tanga Panty Ajour Adagio")** and **[Courreges by Ajour](https://lavinialingerie.com/products/sheer-satin-g-string-with-back-bow-ajour-courreges-aj3931 "Sheer & Satin G-String Panty With Bow Ajour Courreges")**.
