G-string



A G-string is a garment consisting of a narrow piece of material that covers the genitals, a string-like piece that passes between the buttocks and a very thin waistband around the hips.

Quotes

 * I've never been a fan of a G-string, I only ever wore one out of necessity on the red carpet or on photoshoots. Although what I wore was so revealing, I'm not sure you could call it a thong, perhaps just a piece of string.
 * Caprice Bourret (2023) cited in "SO LONG THONG I was a top model & lingerie designer but here's why I'm loving the death of the thong, says Caprice Bourret" on The Sun, 15 June 2023.


 * Thongs aren't any worse than full-coverage underwear as far as promoting or decreasing the chance of infection or irritation—as with other styles, it's ultimately the materials that matter. Still, if you opt for a thong, go for one that fits properly and has a cotton crotch panel, as a too-tight thong can lead to chafing, particularly if it's a G-string style.
 * Alyssa Dweck (2019) cited in "The Most Breathable Underwear For Your Vagina, According To An Ob-Gyn" on Women's Health, 9 August 2019.


 * If Kim Kardashian, Beyoncé and Hailey Bieber can rock a G-string bikini with unparalleled confidence, then why the hell can't the rest of us? Our bums are as worthy of soaking up the sun as any other part of the body. Get those peaches out!
 * Rhian Sugden (2023) cited in "SO LONG THONG I was a top model & lingerie designer but here's why I'm loving the death of the thong, says Caprice Bourret" on The Sun, 15 June 2023.


 * The G-string, which was often sequined and rhinestoned, was a cultural marker of glamorous erotic entertainment. Non-professionals wore them for costumes or naughty private play, but generally not as underwear until Frederick's of Hollywood began to make a more wearable version of them available as underwear through their catalogs and stores.
 * Jo Weldon (2019) cited in "The Visible G-string Is Officially Making Its Comeback — Here’s What It Means" on Teen Vogue, 13 November 2019.
