Cute Young Blonde Girl With Blue Eyes Shows Off Her White T-back Thong Panties On The Red Carpet At Home

Recent surveys place the number of American women who wear thongs as their preferred underwear style at 28%. While thongs are available for girls as young as eight years it is common for parents to not approve of girls wearing them until they reach their teens. Many reasons exist why women and men may choose to wear thong underwear or swimwear: prevention of visible panty lines; prevention of ride up so one needn't pull at one's underwear in public; comfort; fashion consciousness, including the feeling of being more adult; and minimization of tan lines.
In the late 1990s and early 2000s, some people wore thongs with low-cut hipsters and deliberately exposed them over the top of their trousers. This led to many designs of thong intended to be worn in this manner, which were adorned with jewels and motifs on the back. However, in the 2000s, the exposure of a thong above one's pants became a fashion faux pas, and the trend turned to the wearing of lower-riding thongs that hardly show above trousers, except when bending or twisting.
• Acceptance as swimwear
Thong swimsuits are generally accepted to some degree in most western countries, including most of Europe, North and South America, Australia, and parts of Asia. On the other hand, thongs are banned or strongly discouraged in some places, including some Muslim countries such as Iran and Saudi Arabia, but also in such locations as Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, and Kure Beach, North Carolina. There is no national law specifically relating to nudity, thongs, or toplessness in the United States. At least one U.S. city passed an anti-nudity ordinance in 2007 which however did not ban thongs.
