For many years, the debate about thongs has not subsided. Some say that it is very convenient and practical, others are sure that it is very harmful and is intended only for promiscuous girls. In the medical environment, the attitude towards them is also different. Let's figure out what kind of underwear this is, what it is for, why it exists and whether wearing it is harmful. Read about all this below.
Purpose of thongs
Once upon a time in the distant 30s of the last century, a certain respectable senator of Congress in America went to a strip club and was shocked by the absolute nudity of the dancers. There was a loud scandal, as a result of which the owners of strip clubs were obliged to at least minimally cover their private parts with underwear. That's when thongs were invented.
Translated from English, this word means “rope, lace.” Actually panties and are a pair of strings with a small triangle of fabric in front. Today's models remain virtually the same. They are still as bold and sexy.The only difference is that the vast majority of girls now wear them.
Why don't they go out of fashion?
Thongs came into everyday wardrobe in the 70s. This happened in America and Europe. This could not have happened in the USSR; public morality did not allow such phenomena. But when the 90s arrived, such panties began to appear in Russia.
The girls loved them so much that several pairs of such underwear were purchased at once. There must be good reasons for popularity. Supporters of wearing open panties name the following:
- In summer it is not hot in thongs, but in other models there is a feeling of temperature discomfort;
- they are not visible under tight-fitting clothing;
- they are comfortable to wear under white trousers or a skirt;
- panties slightly raise the buttocks, making these roundness more seductive;
- as swim trunks, they open up additional areas of the body for tanning;
- used to seduce their boyfriend.
To study, to work or to a club?
You can wear these panties anywhere as long as they are comfortable for you. Avoid having your top showing through your low-rise jeans. Also wear them exclusively in the warm season. For our cold weather, it is worth choosing other styles made from natural fibers.
Important! To ensure that thongs are truly invisible under clothing, do not buy underwear in small sizes. Cutting into the body, they form deep grooves that are sure to be visible from the outside. It is better to buy panties of this model a little more than you need. It will stick well to the body and will not be visible to anyone.
Are they harmful?
Unfortunately, wearing thongs can be uncomfortable and unhygienic.The rope, which is essentially the back of the panties, can cut into the body, rub, and moving freely up and down, with a high degree of probability it can transfer bacteria from the anus to the genitals, which are a source of genitourinary infections. To prevent this from happening, you need to take a lot of precautions, and not all girls pay attention to such facts.
Another medical contraindication for wearing thongs would be Poor circulation in the area compressed by the rubber band. After all, the correct size of panties is not always purchased; preference is often given to the model you like without taking into account your hip volume.
Important! Don't use thongs as pajama bottoms. You need to sleep in loose clothes without extra laces or elastic bands.
And you should also not wear similar models of underwear if there is an exacerbation of hemorrhoids. The freely moving back part in the form of a rope between the buttocks can injure the sore spot and even provoke bleeding.
Which thong models are the least harmful?
If you wear thongs only in those situations in which you cannot do without them, then you can minimize all the negative consequences. Change them at least once a day, buy cotton models, avoid them during menstruation.
But if we talk about what is least harmful for daily wear in the warm season, then there are such panties. This thong shorts – combining two models into one. They look no less sexy and seductive than the most open version of underwear, and they are better for health than other models. There is no constant contact of the same part with both the front and back lower parts of the body, which protects against infections and chafing.
Interesting features of panties
Not all thongs are created equal. They differ in the different cut of the back and some other details:
- T-string model - a small triangle in front - that's all the fabric, on the sides and back there are only strips. Moreover, the rear elastic bands are located perpendicular to each other;
- J-string - in this model there are two triangles connected by a thin bridge - one in front, the other in the back at the top of the buttocks;
- V-string – repeats the previous model, but there is no fabric inside the triangles, they are formed by elastic laces;
- The C-string is a very unique model, not intended for everyday wear. It has no side parts at all, but only a front triangle supported on an elastic frame with silicone strips along the edges, and the same frame continuation in the form of a strip at the back;
- Brazilian - the front triangle is higher and wider than other models, the hips are half covered with a lace elastic band, the buttocks are open only in the lower part.
It's better not to wear panties at all than to wear something like this.
Thongs are good for your health!
I think many girls will immediately object to me and say that “Thongs are harmful, especially if you wear them all the time, especially if you don’t wipe them, don’t wash them and wear them for a week without changing them!” But in this case, ordinary panties will not be harmless at all.
So why can they be useful, because “there is a string there that constantly rubs and transfers germs and worms from you know where and where”?
I'll try to prove this. Not everything is as simple as it seems at first glance, but if you pay attention not to those who constantly look after themselves, their health, eat right, constantly engage in fitness or other sports, constantly keep themselves clean, and secondly, those who I’m not used to taking care of myself, then among the former the number of those who wear thongs and have no problems with them will be much higher than among the latter. And this is not without reason, because on the one hand, thongs are worn to look more beautiful (for example, so that they do not show through under clothes), and on the other hand, thongs additionally stimulate adherence to hygiene, which further improves the situation.
For those who don’t particularly take care of themselves, much less hygiene, thongs will not be useful, but even without them, microbes have room to multiply on a dirty body, thongs can only make it easier for germs to reach a more nutritious environment in the vagina. In addition, thrush occurs precisely due to the proliferation of fungi of the Candida family, which are absent in the intestines of a healthy person. And the proliferation of this type of fungus can be provoked by poor immunity and poor hygiene, especially in combination with wearing panties made of synthetic fabrics, which gives a “greenhouse effect.”
To ensure that thongs provide only benefit and not harm, you must adhere to the following rules:
* Wear thongs only in your size. A smaller size may cause chafing, while a larger size will move when put on. You also need to choose the most anatomically convenient option for the width of the rear strip. A strip on the butt that is too thick will spread and get in the way, while a strip that is too narrow will dig into the skin. The correct size and style of thongs does not cause any discomfort.
* The material from which panties are made should be as natural as possible. This applies not only to thongs, but also to regular briefs. After all, artificial materials do not allow the skin to breathe, and if in a thong only the front part does not breathe, then in ordinary panties the butt also does not breathe.
* Maintain hygiene at all times. After each visit to the toilet, dry yourself thoroughly, wash regularly and change your underwear daily. After all, pathogenic microflora does not develop on panties (there are simply no nutrients there), but on the body; panties only wipe it off the body, gradually accumulating it.
* Monitor not only your appearance, but also your internal health. Exercise regularly, try to eat healthy food balanced in terms of calories, vitamins and microelements, which will increase immunity and prevent not only thrush from occurring, but also reduce the likelihood of getting other diseases, and also improve your well-being and mood.
Wearing thongs increases self-esteem, stimulates hygiene and a healthy lifestyle, which will undoubtedly only benefit both emotional and physical health!
Be healthy and beautiful!
