Boy shorts aren't the same as a tanga (aka "pseudo thong). Boy shorts are shorts-like. Tangas covers the upper 2/3 of your ass, but are thong-like at the bottom 1/3.

Alrighty, I'm officially a blonde.......

So I guess I own a pair of tangas....... oO

You're blonde?

....and all this time I thought I was pining for a true redhead... :tear

OK... Since I think there might be a little confusion in terms going on... I'm going to post and image so we are comparing apples to apples. (Or boy shorts to boy shorts..) I should mention that the term "boy shorts" brings up a variety of styles...

This is what I'M talking about:

[Brenda Starrr]

Oh, I own a few of those!!

[Msterbeau]

Oh, I own a few of those!!

Yeah...but what do you call them??

[Brenda Starrr]

Those are boyshorts

BAck to thongs............

I wear nuttin but thongs, my but is rather long, disfigured and flat, thongs make my naked butt look better. They are not uncomfertable at all to me and i have never gotten an infection. I will probally always wear them as i have tried the other types of undies and they are just not flattering on my bottom.

I have actually never heard of any one getting an infection from a thong, so now i am curious as to how or why this happens. Any one have info on it?

YES, what you're experiencing is a reaction to humidity in your genital area with yeast infetion developement or a reaction to the material the thong is made of.

Whether you love them or hate them, thongs are causing problems though. Doctors, especially OB-GYNs, tell us their offices are now crowded with patients suffering from nasty vaginal and urinary tract infections.

01:05:54 Dr. Lisa Masterson VO/OC

I've been a physician for about ten years now. I see women patients on a daily basis because I'm an obstetrician/gynecologist, I see women who are pregnant and all through menopause and teenage girls as well. Why that's the mommy monitor. That's measuring your uterus and the pressure there. Baby monitor measuring baby's well being. I look at vaginas all day long and I have women who complain of bladder infections, yeast infections, bacterial infections, and one of the things I started doing was asking them, do you wear cotton underwear? Do you wear underwear at night? Do you wear thongs? And I got more and more that women were wearing thongs on a constant daily basis.

01:06:35 Dr. Lisa Masterson VO/OC

The main problem with a thong is that sometimes the strip can ride up from the rectum to the vaginal area and also the bladder so that you can get rectal bacteria into the vagina and the bladder so the same things for like why you don't want to wipe back to front, and you want to wipe front to back. Because then that causes that bacteria to cause inflammation and infection and also if it's very thin it can cause hemorrhoids from rubbing against and causing irritation of the rectum and it can also cause little lacerations.

01:07:07 Dr. Lisa Masterson VO/OC

Thongs can actually even sometimes give you a risk factor for infertility because if you have bacterial infections for a long period of time, what we've found is bacterial vaginosis can ascend up into the uterus and the tubes and cause scarring and blockage.

Just do an ask.com search on thongs & infections and you'll find a ton of responses.

"I hear they're hygenically a bad idea. "

I know this from personal experience. I've had a hell of a time with infections over the last few years, and once a few rounds of medication didn't clear it up, the thongs were the first thing to go. It made an instant improvement in my condition.

I miss the hell out of them. I have a drawer full of really pretty ones that I pull out every once in a while for special occations. I *love* thongs. They *don't* love me.

Sorry Maldoror.... I resent them, yet I kinda dont. I find them funny, but then look at it this way..... my sister Jeri has dark brown hair..... and she is a ditsy as they come.

DollarDave: I've been to mephisto's a few times, ended up dancing in the cage once, wearing my tangas. Had a ton of fun too. Speaking of which, I should hit up Mephisto's sometime soon. My sister needs to go there, and my friend Sarah has been wanting to go too. =3 I'll let you know when I'll be there next. =D

i had no idea, personally i only get infections down there after i take antibiotics, had kids, or some other event that i knew would probally cause one. I also guess beside perhaps here and myself, woman dont talk about infections down there to much, it just one of those things that make you feel dirty i guess.

Thanks for the info i apperciate it.

the other day i was going shopping so i grabbed a thong and stuck it in my purse

(i go commando unless i'm wearing a skirt and of course i really don't wanna rub my vag where other people could potentially be rubbing their vag and i'm sure they feel the same way about potentially buying a pair of jeans i may have rubbed my vag on. anyways, enough vag)

sluagh686 looks at me and says "since when do you wear thongs?"

"i don't wear underwear period i'm going shopping tonight"

"but you wear boyshorts"

no.... i wear boyshorts when that's ALL I'M WEARING. if i go to a bar in my underwear i wear shorts

the man has been living with me for a year and a half and has no idea what kind of underwear i have

end of my story lol

(we all grow into different phases/tastes.... ask me 5 years ago if i'd ever get my belly button pierced, go tanning, or voluntarily spend $150 on a pair of jeans and i would have laughed at you)

Old post is old!

But okay, we can revive it. XD

Now that I'm dating Brian, I wear mostly booty shorts and I've found them to be insanely comfortable. But, occasionally I'll wear a thong and I almost always get a "OOOOOHH!" from him. It's funny. XD
