Thong vs G-String
Let’s be honest, if you’ve ever stood in front of your lingerie drawer wondering “what’s the difference between a thong and a G-string?”, you’re not alone. These cheeky little numbers may look quite similar, but they each have their own special place in the world of underwear.
What's a Thong?
The Middle Ground Hero
A thong is like the diplomat of the lingerie world – giving you just enough coverage to feel comfortable, but still keeping it stylishly cheeky.
• Coverage: Thongs offer a bit more fabric than G-strings, with a V-shaped back that sits between your cheeks. • Waistband: Typically a little thicker than a G-string, often sitting higher on the hips. (All our waistbands are adjustable too!) • Comfort: More comfortable for everyday wear, especially if you’re not a fan of the barely-there feel but still want no visible panty lines (you know, the whole VPL drama). • When to Wear: Perfect under body-hugging dresses, fitted jeans, or anything where you want a smooth silhouette but with a bit more ‘substance’ than a G-string.What's a G String?
The Barely-There Wonder
If a thong feels minimalist, the G-string takes things to a whole new level – the James Bond of underwear. Sleek, minimal, and designed to disappear under clothes.
• Coverage: What coverage? The G-string is all about the least fabric possible, with a thin string at the back - either in a 'T' or 'V' shape – the name says it all! • Waistband: A super-thin string waistband that usually sits lower on the hips, almost like it's barely there. However, our Somewhere Never strings are designed to be pulled up high! • Comfort: If you’re a fan of the “less is more” mantra, the G-string is for you. It’s so light you’ll forget you’re wearing it. (But fair warning, it’s not for everyone!) • When to Wear: Ideal for those super-tight outfits where even a thong might show. Think figure-hugging dresses or sheer fabrics.
Which One Should You Choose?
It all comes down to your personal style and what makes you feel comfortable: • For a Little More Coverage: Go for a thong. It’s a happy medium between full knickers and going all-out minimal.
• For Maximum Discretion: The G-string’s your best friend when you want the smoothest silhouette possible – and don’t mind that barely-there feel.
And here's the best part: all Somewhere Never thongs and G-strings feature soft elastic waistbands that are adjustable with a slider. So, whether you’re team thong or team G-string, you can tweak the fit to your liking – no digging in, no discomfort, just perfectly tailored to you!
