Thongs are a don’t, right? I mean, if I was so concerned with the line of my underwear showing I just wouldn’t wear any. Personally I don’t think they look hot, and kind of remind me of the ’80s when people would wear them over leggings to do aerobics and whatnot. I keep seeing them for sale in places I tend to respect, and yet I know almost nobody who cops to wearing them, especially ones that are of any quality. After all, if you just need a little coverage and avoidance of panty lines, why spend a lot on something you’re going to place right over where the sun don’t shine? Oh and you’re going to ride a bike in it, too? I just don’t get it.

(That said, if I were going to wear one, this demi-thong in sensible and organic gotton from Perfectly Imperfect might be a little closer to tolerable. Available at Greenloop.)
