I only wear thongs when I need to avoid panty lines. Utilitarian only. I'm a woman, so take this as you will, but I don't think they are remotely sexy. Topless + boy shorts = hot.

Of course, I do clean my ass so "the movement of the thong when i walk" per the stated article is not passing bacteria from the back to the front. I also wear a thong that fits and isn't sliding around. Perhaps if your are prone to infections or sloppy on cleanliness an thong may increase your chance of infection, but neither I or any of my friends have had this problem.

If you can't clean your bottom then thongs aren't for you.

I have a nice fit bottom, never wear a thong. Having a ten pound baby gave me hemorroids, no thanks on the thong rubbing those!

This just isn't true.

Of course it is true. https://www.healthtap.com/#topics/what-causes-bacteria-infection

I'm not a big person, but i don't have a flat bum so this type of panty is NOT comfy. I have a deep booty so I think I must needed a few extra inches in the crotch fabric to actually not grind gainst my crack all day. Never found a pair that does this unless it's a much too large g-string style.

I don't have sensitive skin but I've gotten rashes from trying to wear them. I just think if you can see the thong all the way down when you are standing, from behind, then they are for you (flat booty). If, like me, they disappear right in there to the point where you have to wince, squat down and spread to even be able to see them, they are not for you.

And yes they do contribute it bacterial infections.... I thought everyone knew this?
