If you’re new to the thong world, you’ve likely been exposed to various thong vernacular, but have no clue what it means. There are three general styles of thong: the traditional, the g-string, and the tanga/samba.

    The traditional thong will have full coverage in the front and likely as a wide waist-band, but narrows to a strip of fabric 1-inch wide or narrower that is slid between the buttocks.
    A g-string is a thong that has a very narrow waistband, typically a strip of elastic ¼-inch or narrower. The ‘thong’ part of the g-string is also very thin, so the only fabric is pretty much a small triangle in the front.
    A tanga/samba thong is like a regular pair of panties crossed with a traditional thong. They typically have fabric that covers the upper half of the bum, leaving the bottom of your buttocks exposed (preventing a panty line). The rest of the underwear will vary depending on style, but typically has a thick waistband and lots of coverage.
Understand what wearing a thong feels like. One of the many concerns by non-thong wearers is - isn’t it uncomfortable? Although the idea of fabric being slid up your butt sounds mostly like a bad wedgie, most thong-wearers agree that the initial discomfort is overcome almost immediately. Thongs are often considered one of the most comfortable styles of panties, especially g-strings, because there is so little fabric to become bunched up, loose, saggy, or uncomfortable in any way.

    Keep in mind that thongs aren’t comfortable for everyone, and they may take some getting used to.
    If at first you don’t love the feeling of your thong, don’t give up right away. It is a typical experience for first-time thong-wearers to dislike the feeling first, but after a few days of wearing thongs, to fall in love with them
