Teens wearing thongs? Opinions?

I've gone through this when I was 13. Simply the next time I was at the mall and we walked by Victoria's Secret I said "Hey, mom, I need underwear." Then, when we walked in there (I never shopped there previous to this) I just picked out some thongs. She didn't really try and converse on that knowing it would be a little strange, but I think that's probably the easiest must not awkward way to do it. Just tell your mom you need underwear, then, pick out some thongs. She most likely won't really comment on it, but if she does tell her how you feel (basically just what you put on this question) but make sure you say it in a respectful way.

Also, I am definitely not against thongs. My opinion is that you should be able to wear whatever underwear you please because people won't see it anyways (or shouldn't).

Hope I helped(:

Teens Wearing Thongs

1. Tell her the reasons why. If you're looking for the actual words if you're embarrassed, ask your mom to take you shopping, she will probably ask why, and then you can tell her you want to get some new underwear because the type you have are uncomfortable..blah blah then explain the reasons. She'll probably ask what kind you want, and then you tell her, wait for her reaction, then explain your reasons again if she says no. I don't see why she would say no, though. Whats the problem? Its not like you want them to look sexy for a guy, so she shouldn't have a problem because you do have very genuine reasons.

2. I'm not against them.

3. I think its fine, particularly for the reasons that you have stated. There is nothing wrong with it, its just another type of underwear and I don't see a problem with it.

I don't wear them though. I just don't like the feeling of walking around with a constant wedgie, haha. But I don't see a problem with other teens wearing them.

As for the sweatpants, the line of the thongs will still be visible because they make a V shape near the top. I suggest you get some new sweatpants that are a different material, and not the clingy material that shows underwear lines. Go to a sports shop and you will get some new ones that won't show the underwear/thong lines.

Thongs For Teens

I started wearing thongs at 13 too. I'm now 30. I can't remember if I just went out and bought them or if I asked my mom first...too long ago, but I do know my mom knew I wore them. I gave her my explaination which is pretty much where you stand...hated the wedgies although the constant wedgie was FAR more comfortable (unless you get a thong wedgie and those HURT! I"m sure you'll find out how that happens -wedgie in the wrong area) Hated the panty line with pants...I see no harm as long as its not exposed-because really, that is just SOoo tacky! Sounds as though you have a good head on your shoulders. I would just give your mom your reasons for wanting to "Try it out". And tell her eerything you metion here.

Oh and I just want to add that the older I got the less comfortable I think they are...I LOVE boyshorts. I still own pairs of thongs and occassionally wear them with certain things....My preference has just changed over the years as I'm sure yours will at some point too. :)

I wore them when I was a teen. I did not start until I was about 16 though. I had a job and I bought my own thong underwear. They are uncomfortable at first until you get used to the constant wedgie. And yes even a little string will still feel like a wedgie. My mom had a fit for like a second that then she got over it. I still wear them all the time 10 years later. I do think you are a bit young to be wearing them personally. I think my arguement was a good one. I made my own money and I spend it on what I want. It that means thong underwear then i buy thong underwear. My mom didn't have much of an arguement there. You don't have that yet though. Unless you babysit or something and can go buy your own. I think you should still wait a few years.

1. Thongs are going to rise up just like normal underwear. It's true, and it's definitely no less noticeable just because it's a thin band.

2. I can agree with this.

3. Thongs are going to show too, people are going to be able to see that you don't have regular underwear on, so they'll either assume that you don't have underwear or you're wearing a thong. Honestly though, no one really LOOKS for pantylines on people.

ANSWERS.

1. Just talk to your mom about your underwear. Tell her you'd like to start maybe wearing thongs, or when you're at a store, pick out some and say "Wow these are really cute, what do you think mom?" I can pretty much say as long as you're not picking out G-strings, she'll probably agree.

2. I'm not against them.

3. My opinion is that they're fine, if you're just wearing them. Going around and talking about it/showing everyone your underwear is a totally different subject, and this applies from thongs to boyshorts in my book.

There is nothing wrong with teens wearing thongs. Next time you are wearing your sweats, make a comment around your Mom about how stupid it looks to have panty lines and "I need a pair of thongs". you could also say "these underwear are driving me crazy..they are so uncomfortable! I want to try thongs or boy shorts"... Also, does your Mom wear them?

Assure your Mom it is more of a comfort thing. Boy shorts are also very comfortable and reduce panty lines.....

also, don't worry about thongs and the "wedgie"..you can't feel it. After you try them, you may find them uncomfortable. and not sure if you change clothes for gym class, but that could be a little bit inappropriate..not sure what the other girls do???

Good luck!

I'm 13 years old, and suddenly I feel like I have an interest in thongs. Maybe it's peer pressure, or maybe it's just me being curious, I don't know why exactly. Many people in my grade wear them, and I would never know it unless I talked to them about it, as friends ofcourse...

I don't know why this is such a huge deal. I'm 15 and I own thongs [not G-strings] and I think they are comfortable. If your daughter wants thongs then let her try them, at least she is wearing panties. It's not "slutty" to wear something that covers your privates. I mean be glad she is comfortable enough to ask you for them and be glad she is wearing something rather than nothing.
