Different Types of Thongs
While the word thong often brings one specific style of the
underwear to mind, there are actually a number of different
styles that can be referred to as thongs. Each has distinct
characteristics, and cater to a number of stylistic preferences.
You might not be daring enough to wear that g-string in public,
but tanga here you come!
1. G-string: This is, by far, the scantiest type of thong.
Whimsically referred to as 'butt floss', a g-string consists of
a small front triangle, with strings that go around your hips
and under your behind.
2. Tanga: In contrast to the G-string, the Tanga covers quite a
large area. The front is completely covered, and in the back the
material is higher cut, usually curving up a few inches above
the butt.
3. Thong: The part of the thong family that is actually called a
thong has more coverage than the g-string, with material in the
front, commonly in a triangle shape, and a 1/2-1 inch strip of
fabric to cover the backside (details at

4. V-string: This thong is known for the V shape that it makes
going up the back. It is commonly used in one piece swimsuits,
and offers slightly more coverage than a g-string.
5. T Back: This thong has a good amount of front coverage, and
has a wide waistband going around the back. The T shape is made
by the juncture of the waistband part merging into the back
material of the thong.
6. Rio: The Rio is commonly known as a 'starter thong'. If you
don't know whether thongs are for you, or you think g-strings
are a bit too risque, then this thong might be for you. It
resembles high cut bikini briefs more than anything else, and
makes a nice transitional garment.
No matter what flavor of thong you're into, there's a style and
shape for to suit almost everyone's tastes!
