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

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!

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 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. :)

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

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

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