Thongs vs. G-Strings: WTF is the Difference?

All G-strings are thongs but all thongs aren’t G-strings. We know they aren’t interchangeable, but what exactly is the difference? Sometimes it’s easy to tell them apart, but based on the specific design, drawing a distinction between the two can get confusing. This is your definitive guide to end the confusion once and for all!

❓ What is a Thong?

• Narrow back strap that provides some coverage
• Typically has a wider waistband for a more secure fit
• Balances comfort, style, and sexiness
• Generally great for everyday wear—at work, home, the gym, swimming, and more

🧵 What is a G-String?

• Has an extra-thin back strap, sometimes just a tiny string
• Usually has a minimal waistband or a string as well
• Offers the least coverage for an almost-naked feel
• These can be everyday wear as well, but they’re often worn for times when things get hot-and-heavy

🤔 Where the Confusion Lies

✅ Determining Factor

• The back strap that goes between your cheeks ultimately determines which is which
• Thin back straps only features a single piece of elastic is a G-String
• Slightly wider back straps that feature two pieces of elastic is a Thong
• ⚠️ NOTE: If the waistband straps are spaghetti-strap-thin, and the middle strap is also extremely narrow but has two pieces of elastic, it's a g-string! Any space of fabric between those pieces of elastic would make it a thong.

⚖️ Which is Right for You?

If you want the minimal feel of a thong but still want to experience the embrace of underwear, then Thongs are right for you! They provide significant support while remaining sexy. Some men prefer the feel of a wider strap on their hole.

If you want a next-to-nude feel, then G-Strings are your thing! The only coverage they feature is all in the pouch, and the look.

💯 Personal Experience & Recommendation

Me in the Pink Thong

 If you were to ask me which I prefer, I predominantly wear thongs more. I like the sensation of the little extra fabric against my package, taint, & hole, and it also shows off the pattern/color of the fabric more. Another major reason is when hitting the beaches, I prefer my tanlines to be more pronounced.

🏁 Final Thoughts

No matter which one you choose, both Thongs & G-Strings offer sexiness no matter what situation you're in.
