A '''thong''' is a type of [[lingerie]] or underwear consisting of a narrow strip of material running through the [[crotch]] with each end affixed to a cord or narrow band round the waist. The strip must be wide enough at the front to cover the [[genitals]]. It may be worn by men or women, though one designed for women may be inadequate to cover a man's genitals.

The thong is a garment worn as either [[lingerie|underwear]] or as a swimsuit by both women and men which is designed to cover the [[genitals]] but with the remainder of the garment reduced to a minimum thus exposing the [[buttocks]].

Types of thongs include the traditional thong, the g-string, v-string, t-back and c-string. The most significant difference between thongs designed for men and women is the shape of the front part of the garment.

The effect of this design is that the [[buttocks|bottom]] is prominently displayed. Some [[leotard]]s and [[bodysuit]]s are thong-cut at the bottom to achieve the same effect. The strip through the crotch may have an effect on the wearer similar to a [[crotch rope]].

bottom in thong

The thong is a garment worn as either underwear or as a swimsuit by both women and men which is designed to cover the genitals but with the remainder of the garment reduced to a minimum thus exposing the buttocks.

Types of thongs include the traditional thong, the g-string, v-string, t-back and c-string. The most significant difference between thongs designed for men and women is the shape of the front part of the garment. Often, but not always, thongs for men will feature a vertical seam to create shape and space for the male genitalia, the equivalent section in women's thongs is normally flat and seamless.

Within a fetish context thongs can be made in variety of materials including latex, PVC, and leather.
