1. You're Planning to Wear Your Workout Clothes All Day

You don't want to wear a thong while exercising, and then keep it on for the rest of the day. "It can foster bacterial growth that disrupts your vagina's healthy balance." Make sure you have an extra pair of underwear with you.

2. You're Wearing a Short Skirt

If your skirt is so short that your actual booty ends up pressed against chairs, then you don't want a thong on. Why? When you sit on a public seat, like a bus, "you could sweep up bacteria and viruses."

3. You're Prone to Yeast or Bacterial Vaginal Infections

You don't want to get a urinary tract infection. They're not any fun.

4. You're Going Swimsuit Shopping

I cannot stand thongs anymore. That's all I wore for years and now cheeky and boy shorts are my go-to's! VS even has "no show" panties so I haven't had to wear a thong in awhile. :)

Thongs are the most comfortable underwear, in my opinion. You never have to worry about picking your ass because your underwear ran up. However I do agree with everything on this article. I can't help but crack up (no pun intended) when girls wear thongs at the gym. Do they not realize that we can see the outline of your sweat!

I've noticed that I tend to wear thongs during the spring/summertime. I rarely wear them during the fall/winter. It's really odd.

I always wear thongs, to me they are the most comfortable I'm so use to them now when I try to wear regular panties they drive me crazy!

I've tried thongs once or twice but couldn't stand them! Haha

It is weird, to me sexy underwear are my cheeky panties and ones with more coverage. My everyday, work, exercise underwear are all thongs! Haha!

I wear them most of the time except when I know ppl might see me in my underwear, working out, and on period

Wear thongs everyday any season at all times!!!!

Thing camando or g-string sometimes cheeky with jeans or if I am sleeping with just under ware aha but mostly thongs and g's
