A mini thong is exactly what it sounds like it would be: a teeny tiny thong. These miniature versions of the thong are extremely minimalist in the amount of fabric used and thus amount of coverage offered. A regular thong usually has full coverage in the front. The sides straps tend to be thin while the back only has a wedge of fabric leaving the cheeks exposed. Why would anyone want to wear something like this? Well, for starters, it's actually a lot more comfortable than it sounds. Granted, certain brands are more comfortable than others but generally speaking, thongs really are quite comfortable to wear. Additionally, having zero fabric covering the cheeks means avoiding any unsightly panty lines. You know, the bunched up lines that show the edge of your underwear when you're wearing a fitted skirt or pants? Thongs eliminate any issue regarding panty lines so you're guaranteed to avoid that fashion faux pas. When it comes to mini thongs, the design concept remains the same except that the mini uses much less fabric to create. These underthings usually have a very low rise, have less coverage in the front and have less fabric in the back. The functionality of the mini thong remains the same though – you're still able to avoid panty lines. With these, you simply feel like you're wearing a lot less. Undoubtedly the skimpier amount of fabric leaves you feeling sexy and confident while your pants or skirt lays flat against your skin. These are great to wear, day or night but do keep in mind that because the front coverage is so minimal that you may want to groom accordingly. If you've never tried the mini thong, slip one on and decide for yourself if this new trend is right for you.
