C-string to replace G-string?

Ladies, I'll be honest: I've never understood how g-strings, or thongs, or any of that fancy underwear could possibly be comfortable. Yet, it's obviously very popular, so who am I to judge?

That said, there's a new breed or skimpy lingerie that may just put all its predecessors to shame. It's called the "c-string," and, it's being promoted by its creators as "invisible underwear."

In my humble opinion, if you're going to wear underwear this revealing, I'm not sure why you'd wear anything in the first place. Plus, this looks even more uncomfortable than a traditional thong, and far less likely to stay where it's supposed to.

However, as noted on the product site, you wouldn't have to worry about "panty-lines" or "tan-lines," so maybe this is more useful than it might at first appear. To judge for yourself, you can view some photos that are undoubtedly unsafe for your office here.

I had to chuckle when I saw these because they are so stupid. I mean they look ok in the front but when you look at the back it doesn't look like underwear, it just looks like you have something stuck in the crack of your ass. I guess it's not a bad as having toilet paper stuck in your ass crack but, close enough.

This thing looks like a hairband! Cant be comfortable or stay in place. It is sad the things young women "buy into as fashion". I think designers are laughing all the way to the bank at the stupidity of it all.

I'm with the author. Though I am a guy, I have trouble understanding the logic here... if you're going to consider wearing this, why NOT just go commando?

I remember something almost identical being launched around 20 years ago and I bought my wife one as the bottom half of a bikini. Once she got used to not having anything round her waist she got on really well with it and we were sorry when we couldn't get another. It stays on because the frame is a spring and once it's been adjusted properly it's comfortable because the bits it touches stay the same shape when you move around. She had to shave a bit more than normal to stop it looking like it was growing a fringe, but it's popular now to have a brazilian, so that won't be a problem. I hope it's a success this time around.

this thing looks absolutely disgusting. As for comfort, it looks even worse than that "pearl thong" women went nuts over when it was featured on Sex in the City. Are people really stupid enough to wear something that ugly and just...wrong? Depends on how much hype it gets, I suppose. Crocs, anyone?!

I can just imagine a bunch of obese middle-aged American women trying to wear these things. They'll get lost in all those folds of fat! haha fat Americans with the fat pocketbooks, will buy anything!

graham honey news flash: womens' vaginas are not made of solid material and don't just "stay in place" especially when you move around! Unless, of course, you are a blow-up doll ;-)
What happens when these inevitably fall off? That could be a bit embarrassing.

How stupid!! Maybe I am just getting to old but here it is....... YOU don't like seeing my panty lines...... don't look at me a@@!! I don't like seeing your underware when your jeans ride down to your hips! I don't like to see guys have to hold their pants up to keep them from falling off. That being said they have their right to wear them. I have my right to my choice of underwear and if it happens to leave a line.... WELL.... JUST DEAL WITH IT! DON'T LOOOOK!!

When men start going to these extremes for women "maybe" I'll think about it, but not one second before then.

On the Website it says you could wear it for a bikini bottom!, I guess if you were at a nude beach. The black one just makes it look like the girl has a wider ass crack...lol she might as well be naked.

heres a thought.... if you buy pants that actually fit.... you don't have to worry about panty lines because you shouldnt have them. Don't buy pants that are skin tight because you don't want to go up a size. get over it! you will look much better in clothes that actually fit!

Besides i think i would rather have my panties around my legs rather than in my hand when im trying to pee
