Thong

Are thongs actually comfortable?

Yes! With the right style and fit, thong panties can be super comfy (you may even forget you’re wearing them). Here at Maidenform, we’ve created women’s thongs that are both smooth, lightweight and practical. The minimal design of thong underwear makes them much less likely to bunch up during daily activities or show under fitted clothing - a win-win. From our all-over lace thong panty to Barely There® Invisible Look™ panty, these soft-stretch styles hug your curves in all the right places - without sacrificing comfort. If you’re new to the thong world, it may take some getting used to. But we promise, women’s thongs are way more comfortable than you think. Heck, you may even find yourself reaching for thongs more often!

When should you wear a thong?

It’s totally up to you but we can offer some suggestions. The experts at Maidenform recommend wearing your thong panties under more fitted clothing such as jeans, skirts, trousers (you get the hint). Thongs are also a great option under leggings, while working out or simply running errands. The sleek design will ensure that your underwear won’t be seen easily – and that’s the point. Women’s thong underwear is meant to be discreet, so you can move with confidence no matter where the day takes you.

What can I wear instead of a thong?

So, the idea of wearing a thong doesn’t appeal to you? No problem, it’s totally a personal choice! We DO have some alternative options that you may find more appealing. Take our no-show panties for instance, from boyshort silhouettes to tanga styles - their cheeky designs help minimize panty lines for a smooth look under clothing. We also recommend bikini underwear, thanks to their no-show waistbands and leg openings (the back coverage you want without the lines). With so many Maidenform panty styles to choose from - you’re sure to find the perfect fit for you.

Should I size up or down in thong panties?

Picking the right size thong panty can be tricky – we’re here to help. A smaller size may make the back string dig too much, creating irritation and discomfort. On the other hand, sizing up may result in fabric bunching up or unsightly bumps. We recommend something right in the middle (sort of like the goldilocks effect) - a snug fit (not too big, not too small).
