Can we talk about thongs?
I have tried so hard to convert to thongs, but I just cannot do it. I own some. I have tried different kinds. I have even tried to shame myself into wearing them, by thinking about my inevitable visible panty lines, but I just can't do it... and on the rare occassion that I do, do it I am aware and distracted by my underwear all day long trying to pull it out of my butt (even though I know that is where it belongs).
I tried to wear one this morning because I am wearing a pair of pants that came out of the laundry a bit snugger (yeah right I am sure it was the brownies I ate last night, but we will call the it the dryer for now). I wore one through breakfast then I had to change. And instead of worrying about visible panty lines I just pulled my shirt down to cover my butt.
Am I doing something wrong? Any recent converts want to give me some secrets? Or is this one of those things like you either like it, or you don't.. like wine, or coffee?

Re: Can we talk about thongs?
Maybe you need a different cut of underwear? If not, my friend showed me how to effectively get your underwear out of your crack... but you have to make sure no one else is around first
This.

When I first started wearing them, I went around all day long thinking I had a wedgie. I couldn't stand it. Eventually, I got used to it, then regular underwear felt weird
If you want to wear them, I suggest wearing ONLY them until you get used to it.
I love thongs now.
ETA:
BTW, and I can't believe I'm writing this post at all, lol...
I find that g-strings are most comfortable. There's the least amount of fabric in your butt and it's easier to ignore.
If you're anything like me (and I'm not sure you should compare yourself to me in this way, haha), DON'T buy the kind made entirely of lace (even the back part). They, ahem, chafe much worse. Uncomfortable city.
Haha my husband would love you for this.
ok ... two things I can only wear Victoria's Secret thongs... The body by Victoria are the best most comfortable... you may need to go a size up in thongs.. you don't want to be digging out "dental floss" all day
my second suggestion is... Invisa line undies (indivisible line undies) also sold at VS - I wore these with maternity pants - I just couldn't wear thongs while I was pregnant. These undies hold your tush firmer and create no lines.
Good luck to you!
Haha!
First of all this post is hilarious. I'm laughing so hard.
& I think they're more comfortable when you wear the pairs that are like this:

versus like this:

Because you get less of a wedgie! LOL.
They also have these:
https://www.victoriassecret.com/panties/no-lines-and-seamless
so you won't have visible panty lines.
On this note - after this one, I'm done with this post, lol - also don't buy them too big. Then the waistband doesn't stay in place and there's too much in front and way too much in back...it looks way awkward and feels worse.
I have lacy ones that are like that... I am wearing them today and unless you rubbed my butt, you woudln't be able to notice the "lines".
Oh, and I can TOTALLY vouch for the seamless undies listed above. They are seriously the most comfortable things EVER. I love them.
Haha I swear I am like this in real life too. I would talk about this with my friends/coworkers, if my coworkers weren't significantly older that me... the mental images are just not pretty.
I can't click on those links from work, but I will check them out later, thanks!
I like the Cheeky panties from VS
https://www.victoriassecret.com/panties/cheekies
It's the perfect compromise between thong and bikini. I'm wearing some now! Anyway, they don't ride up and they don't show panty lines.
ETA: I just read you can't click on VS's site at work (understandable) but I would check them out later.
Great... I won't rub you butt.. I promise!! And if the students and other facility would learn to keep their hands off your tush, you'd have everyone fooled!
BTW - this is a great post!! Gives me some morning giggles!
See and my DH would go ape shiit for commando.
Haha and THAT is why I dress conservitavely at school. The upper collar bone is about as much skin as I will show in the chest region and skirts are never above the knee and usually worn with knee high boots. And if I am wearing tight pants, I have a long shirt on with it.
Whenever I hear the word "commando" I think of the episode of Friends where Joey puts on all of Chandler's clothes (because Chandler stole Joey's chair). Then Joey says he is not wearing any underwear and proceeds to do lunges. You NEVER go commando in another man's fatigues, lol!
YES!!
Hi, I'm Chandler. Could I BE wearing any more clothes?!? Maybe if I wasn't going COMMANDO!
This.
I hate thongs! I think it's a love/hate thing. Some women love them and some women hate them.
I notice that its about the quality of the thong that makes the big difference.
I love love ON Gossimer, they are kind of expensive but well worth the price. Some other well made brands are, Victoria Secret (some not all of them) and Hanky Panky
Your not supposed to feel the thong.
No matter what underwear I wear it eventually goes up my butt anyways so in high school I converted to the thong and never looked back. Took a little to get used to, but now it feels like I do not have anything on.
You could always go underwearless if you have a particular outfit that the lines show through and you really can't tolerate the thong.
ETA: Sorry didn't read all the responses before I posted.
DH: 31, no issues

i cannot wear any underwear that is not a "thong"...but the key is to go g-string - the part that goes on your tush needs to be really, really skinny.
I wear thongs about 90% of the time. I can't find ANY regular underwear that will stay out of my butt and panty lines makes me want to gag. I hate, hate seeing the lines of some random woman in the mall with a "sorta wedgie"...ick! I don't want anyone gagging at my own as$, so thongs it is. Some are more comfortable than others. I really like Hanky Pankys and I also like these https://www.myskins.com/.
BTW: the My Skins are awesome for those of us that can never find nude colored undies in our skin tone.
