Wearing a thong for the first time can feel like a bold move, but with the right tips and styles, it’s a step toward more confidence and (less panty lines) than you might have thought. As the makers of the World's Most Comfortable Thong®, you've come to the right place.
Thongs are perfect for achieving a seamless look under clothing, and when chosen wisely, they can feel as comfortable as your go-to Boyshorts.
Here’s our guide to thongs for first-time thong shoppers.
1. Start with Soft, Stretchy Fabrics
Choose lace thongs or seamless options made from moisture-wicking and breathable fabrics like cotton. These are designed to move with your body, ensuring comfort throughout the day.
Why it helps: Soft fabrics reduce irritation and allow first-time wearers to adjust to the feel of a thong easily.
2. Find the Perfect Fit
A good fit is the key to comfort. Our iconic Original Rise Thong (our #1 thong!) is a great place to start. It's our #1 size-inclusive thong, with one size fitting a range of bodies between sizes 4-14, with additional one size thong options accommodating petite sizes and plus sizes. Our thongs always sit smoothly on your hips without digging in.
3. Experiment with Different Styles
From high-waisted to low rise, try a variety styles to discover what suits you best. Start with a high-waisted thong for extra coverage or a low-rise lace thong for a barely-there feel.
4. Wear Them for the Right Occasions
Thongs are ideal for outfits where visible panty lines are a no-go, like tight skirts, leggings, or anything fitted. Explore our seamless thong collection for a barely-there look.
5. Ease Into It
Start by wearing a thong for short periods before making it a daily staple. Gradually incorporating them into your routine helps you adjust naturally.
