Is a thong under-ware really fit for a 14 year old?? (yuck!!)?

I was cleaning out my 14 yr old's dresser and found 5 thongs, I don't know how to feel about this, because I hate thoughs things. Should my opinion be her opinion too!! So far I pretty much let her do what she wants, because she's a good student and responcible too, but with an attitude now. I guess to be expected though.I may be over reacting or not. One more detail; we believe in God, but do not go to church. The reason I brought that one up is because she wants to wait until she gets married before she has sex. I'm like we shall see what your future holds.I never let my guard down, but I do trust her so far, but their is a fine line though!!She is soo petty and really doesn't know it yet, so has lost 50 lbs on her own in the last 5 months. So now try to answer my question, please.

Update:

I know the correct spelling of underwear, that wasn't my point at all!! Be a little more opened minded.

    im 15, and i have thongs, there not devils or anything, if she wants to wait to have sex ( i do to) then i dont think you have to worry, thongs are acctually comforableand i know they may not look it but they are im sure shes not showing it off. It'll be ok.

    p.s- exactly how much does your daughter weigh?? 50 lbs seems like alot...especially if you say shes really pretty, she might be having more of a serious problem if shes really small

    Your daughter is 14. The reason why she has an "attitude" is because her personality is developing. As you may or may not know, every teenager goes through this during adolescence. Many teens feel self conscious about pantie lines, especially if she's got a larger bottom. I'm 14 like your daughter, and occasionally I wear thongs. I know about yeast infections and such but I don't wear them during the night time or during that time of the month, usually only if I have a visible pantie line or I'm wearing a light coloured skirt. Contrary to what many people believe, thongs don't condone tartiness or promiscuity, given they stay in her pants. If she feels comfortable wearing them, then I say let her! They are simply underwear, just another garment that no one will know about if they stay where they belong! :)

    You say she's responsible and a good student... mom, you have nothing to worry about. Keep an eye out for any sudden changes, don't confront her about the thongs (it will make her feel incredibly uncomfortable; perhaps she thought she couldn't bring up the topic of wearing them?), and next time, instead of cleaning out her dresser for her, tell her you want her to clean her dresser out, so she can do it herself.

    I have never understood g-string or thong underwear... I spend my life trying to keep my underwear out of there and that variety belongs there... Seem to me it would be very uncomfortable..... I do understand the want/need for not VPL (Visible Panty Line) but you don't need butt-floss to accomplish it...

    The thong underwear are the least of your worries... Pick your battles her sudden weightloss 50 lbs in 5 months and her attitude are better battles to fight... If she wants to wear butt-floss to avoid VPL let her there are reasons besides sex to wear a thong...

    Deal with the attitude and the drastic quick weightloss, leave the thong in the drawer for now it's just an item of clothing that goes under her regular clothes... And take heart the low hip hugger (show your butt crack and the top of your thong) pants are on the way out with high waisted pants on the way in.... Skirt lengths are getting longer this season as well.

    The thong is a fad they will eventually go the way of bell bottoms, parachute pants, Seal-a-Meal pants (yes it really was a brand in the 80's and yes it means what you are thinking The crotch seam from front to back was a zipper allowing you to zip two different color legs together) and poodle skirts...

    I started wearing thongs at 14. I'm now 23 It's really fine they're just underwear. In a funny way it can kind of be a symbol for growing up it's like a transition from little girl to young women. Do you know where she's getting the thongs? I know I was too embarassed to ask my mom to buy me them so I went and got them myself. Buying sexy underwear is not going to make you daughter sexually active. They just make her feel pretty and hey no underwear lines!

    First question- Where did she get these thongs? That should be what you are worried about, not the fact that she is wearing them. She is too young to be buying a lot of her own clothes, but if she choses to wear them, you should explain to her that underwear are to be kept out of sight and explain that if she ever decides to have sex to come to you. Also, you should find out who she was shopping with when she bought them and ask her why she wants to wear them. Talk to her about it. Thats what I will do when my daughter gets to that stage.

    Of course, if my 13 yr old SON had thongs I think I'd freak. Haha. Good luck.

    No one really sees it except girls in the locker room, and it's not pleasant to look at, and it's a little inconsiderate for that enviornment. On top of that, they aren't very comfortable. But, if they're comfortable for you and thats what you want to wear, then go ahead. To warn you, you may be known as "the girl who started wearing thongs @ 14" and that's not always the best name, it can foreshadow other "events"

    Thongs aren't even fit for a human being at all. I'm extremely happy to hear she does not want to have sex until marriage - sure wish all other teenagers felt the same. Have a discussion with her, about the thongs. She seems to have a very good head on her shoulders and this discussion should not make her upset with you for bringing the subject up.

    Wat does she need them for? I'm 16 and I'm not allowed to wear them. I think that @ her age she should only be wearing things like that if she is a performer or sumthn(like a dancer where the uniform shows underwear. Even then, I dnt think any organization would do that) ASk her wat she needs them for and also let her know they are dangerous to wear. Any panty without a cotton seat will make her prone to yeast infections and all kinds of things. Oh and about the church thang, u may wana start goin, it does alot of good to be around other believers. It keeps you grounded. I guess itz ok, just as long as she knows the rules.

    God bless.

    well my cuz is 13 and she wears thongs and g strings and all that. and she is also waiting till marrage to have sex. u have to understand that you have a teen daughter and she will be pressured by her peers to weird ceritan things. u just have to have trust in her. as long as her underwear isent showing i dont think it would be a problem.

    just tell her that she needs to keep her undwear out of sight of others. and with the weight. if shes under 110 pounds go to a doctor. but if shes not and seems healthy just tell her no more weight loosing.

    i hope i helped

    God, or going to church, has nothing whatsoever to do with wearing thongs. It is a personal choice, which also has nothing to with having sex before, during or after marriage.

    Your daughter is not a kid anymore; she can wear anything that she feels comfortable. You should worry about the real problems.
