There are strong opinions out there about the "whale-tail." You know, it's the part of a thong or g-string that peeps out above your pants and looks like a whale's tail. Some people think it's hot, and there are even manufacturers who capitalize on it. Others call it trashy. I shall make no comment (for now).If you're part of the no-whale-tail group, but still want to wear those ultra-lowrise jeans and pants, you can try these "backless thongs" (because really now, it's not a good idea to go girl-commando in jeans). The thing, er, thong, is "specially designed with adjustable leg bands that lift and flatter your bottom. Simple and discreet, these leg bands also hold Backless Lingerie in place, removing the need for an uncomfortable and revealing g-string." They say it works well for those form-fitting even dresses as well.
At first, it looked totally stupid to me, but then I thought about it. While I can't figure out how well they would stay on, with the straps wrapping around your legs, they're probably more comfortable than the regular thong, if you know what I mean.
