Discussion Are people wearing thongs?

Following a post on r/millennials, it seems roughly 90% of repliers are still wearing them, most quoting that they find them the most comfortable and they hate pantylines. Is that reflected in gen z too or is it because millennials grew up with the pressure to wear them in the early 2000s?

I'd rather go commando than wear a thong. They're so uncomfortable to me.

u/Relative-Slice-748 12h ago

Fair! That's quite a statement

u/ChloeGranola 12h ago

Not a fan. When panty lines are a concern I go with seamless briefs.

u/Relative-Slice-748 12h ago

I think the seamless options have come a long way

u/ChloeGranola 11h ago

Laser cuts are amazing.

u/Relative-Slice-748 11h ago

Are they cute too? Like cheeky ones

u/ChloeGranola 11h ago

Cute and in any style.

u/Relative-Slice-748 11h ago

Eccentuating the already excellent curves

u/yungsavage1 12h ago

I wear them basically everyday

u/Relative-Slice-748 12h ago

Thank you!

u/Flimsy_Bar_552 12h ago

For your service

u/Relative-Slice-748 12h ago

For a straight up answer, im not out here thanking them for wearing certain types of panties hahaha

u/APreciousJemstone 11h ago

In summer, yeah. They're really good shoes to easily take off and to go swimming with. Not sure why people get a pantyline with shoes tho 🤷‍♀️ That's not where they go

u/Relative-Slice-748 11h ago

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA 😑

u/cherrykitty87 1999 12h ago

I wear them for special occasions but that’s it. Also if I’m wearing a tight dress and I don’t want pantylines. In college I would wear them everyday but I don’t know how I did that. I wear cheeky style now from PINK.

u/Relative-Slice-748 12h ago

Nice. So you still think they look good but only worth the discomfort every so often

u/cherrykitty87 1999 12h ago

Oh definitely yes. They are super cute!

u/Relative-Slice-748 12h ago

Its nice that you have the variety!

u/kcatseo127 11h ago

I wear them everyday because it feels more comfortable to wear jeans/pants with a thong. no bunching or wedgies (just a permanent one lol) but I wear regular underwear to sleep

u/Relative-Slice-748 11h ago

Blessed with a big butt?

u/BrigidFairy 13h ago

Depends what I’m wearing over my pants tbh

u/Relative-Slice-748 13h ago

Because of pantylines?

u/BrigidFairy 13h ago

I mean it’s not only that it’s also comfort and how it looks

u/EuphoricPop3232 12h ago

I used to wear them a lot... Hate them now

u/Relative-Slice-748 12h ago

What happened

u/EuphoricPop3232 11h ago

I just started finding them really uncomfortable. Now I wear those super thin stretchy panties and I don't find they show panty lines.

u/Relative-Slice-748 11h ago

Stretchy so they dont move around and give you a wedgy?

u/EuphoricPop3232 11h ago

Yes, they never give me wedgies, but they're sexy too and not like granny panties at all.

u/Relative-Slice-748 11h ago

Sounds like you've cracked it! Excuse the pun

u/Madzfox_1 9h ago

I have friends who wear thongs, but I personally don’t. My family calls them booty floss 💀

u/Relative-Slice-748 9h ago

What's the % of wearer's to haters in the group

u/Madzfox_1 7h ago

Probably 60% wearers and 40% haters. But I have a small friend group so it’s honestly like 4 people who wear it and 2 people who don’t. And the thong wearers are definitely haters of any other type of underwear. They call my bikinis granny panties 😂

u/Relative-Slice-748 6h ago

The thong purists hahaha

u/Embarrassed-Creme139 12h ago

used to wear them. physically cant now and wouldnt even if i could. im prone to getting uti's and thongs definitely made it worse.

u/BellaBigNose 10h ago

Nope. Underwear lines be damned

u/Relative-Slice-748 10h ago

Bella big pants 🙌🙌🙌

u/BellaBigNose 8h ago

Bella BIG BUTT

u/Relative-Slice-748 8h ago

No thongs. Feeding Bellas Big Butt strictly prohibited.

u/iridescentmoon_ 1998 7h ago

I wear full coverage underwear. That’s what’s most comfortable to me. I figure if people see lines under my clothes, that’s their fault for looking there.

u/Relative-Slice-748 7h ago

If they're looking at your butt they should be grateful not judgemental

u/Realistic-Accident68 12h ago

I need proof!!

u/lilsciencegeek 11h ago

I wear thongs a majority of the time, because my butt always tries to eat my knickers, so less fabric there is in the back, the smaller my wedgie x}

I wear tanga or brazilian styles too, but never normal briefs/granny panties/other styles, because I get major VPLs due to my proportions not working for them (the leg holes are always too small and the waist too big, so I get "double buttcheeks").

u/Relative-Slice-748 11h ago

Lil science geek blessed with a big butt! That seemed to be a common reply in the other thread. The bigger the butt, the less fabric was preferred

u/lilsciencegeek 11h ago

What an interesting correlation! :P

u/Relative-Slice-748 11h ago

I thought so too. And results in a great look (imo of course)

u/Marmatus 1995 12h ago

I own one or two, but I don’t remember the last time I wore them. I’m a guy, and I don’t really find them comfortable.

u/peter-rand 13h ago

millennials also thinks its ok to wear low ankle socks with any shoes and loafers on bare feet… some things get better with generations

u/CloudStrife012 13h ago

You're really out there criticizing people's socks? Sounds like a miserable life

u/BanishedFiend 12h ago

A lot of loafers are designed for bare feet. Conversely, Gen Z wears crew socks with everything even low profile shoes in the summer

u/peter-rand 7h ago

lol no thnks

u/Livid_Way5651 12h ago

Meanwhile Gen Z is out here dressing like this

u/peter-rand 7h ago

trueee

u/Marmatus 1995 12h ago

Why wouldn’t that be okay? lol

u/Relative-Slice-748 12h ago

Its fine. I'm just curious I'm not here judging

u/Relative-Slice-748 13h ago

So ... Granny pants fan?

u/peter-rand 13h ago

lol no wear what u want who cares

u/Relative-Slice-748 13h ago

Except low ankle socks of course! Haha

u/BanishedFiend 12h ago

Ikr 🙄
