Understanding the different thong cuts

Choosing a thong may seem trivial, but it's of vital importance to your comfort and appearance. Each thong cut has its own characteristics and advantages, adapting to different body shapes and occasions. Let's delve into the fascinating world of thongs to discover which cut will suit you best.

Classic thong

The classic thong is a must-have for women's lingerie. It is distinguished by its simplicity and effectiveness: a narrow band at the back that offers perfect invisibility under tight-fitting garments. Ideal for avoiding unsightly marks on tight dresses or slim-fitting pants, the classic thong is the epitome of discretion.

Thong tanga

The tanga subtly combines the elegance of briefs with the discretion of a thong. With a slightly wider cut than the classic thong, it covers the hips a little more while remaining invisible under your favorite clothes. The tanga is perfect for those seeking a compromise between comfort and seduction.

Brazilian thong

For those looking to add an exotic touch to their wardrobe, the Brazilian thong is a seductive option. Its V-shaped cut emphasizes the natural curves of the buttocks, creating a flattering, shaping effect. This model is ideal for silhouettes with slim or medium-sized hips.

String G-string

Pure audacity! The G-string is characterized by its extreme minimalism: a thin elastic band at the back that leaves very little room for fabric. Perfectly invisible even under the most revealing outfits, this model is designed for daring women who aren't afraid to assert their sensuality while prioritizing optimal comfort.

Anecdote: did you know that the G-string takes its name from the English "G", referring to the shape of the back string? This cut gained popularity with exotic dancers before becoming a staple in the world of women's lingerie.

Don't forget that every cut has something unique to offer: whether it's the discreet support of the classic thong or the boldness of the G-string, there's bound to be a model to suit your specific needs and desires.

Identify your morphology

To choose the right thong for you, it's crucial to know your body type. Every figure has its own specificities and deserves an undergarment that does it justice. You may be asking yourself: "What is my hip shape?" or "What type of figure do I have?". Here's how to find out.

Hip shapes

Hips play a decisive role in the choice of a thong. An unsuitable cut could mark the skin or fail to offer the expected comfort. There are two main types of thong:

Slim hips: classic thongs and G-strings are perfect for enhancing this morphology without leaving visible marks under clothing.
Wide hips: the thong tanga, with its wrap-around shape, provides both comfort and support while offering a sexy touch.
Straight hips: opt for models like the Brazilian thong that accentuate natural curves and add curves to your silhouette.

Silhouette types (pear, apple, hourglass, etc.)

Knowing how to identify your body type is essential to choosing the right thong. Here are a few examples:

Hourglass: if your shoulders and hips are in line with a well-defined waistline, you've got an hourglass figure. Any cut of thong will do, but choose one that shows off your slim waist.
Apple: with shoulders wider than the hips and a generous bust, the thong tanga will be ideal for balancing your proportions while providing comfort.
Pear: if your hips are wider than your shoulders with a slim waist, opt for Brazilian thongs or tangas that enhance your curves without accentuating the width of your hips.

Precise identification of your morphology not only enhances your comfort, but also optimizes the overall aesthetics underneath your garments. Never forget that a good choice starts with a good understanding of yourself!

Matching thong cut to body shape

Choosing the perfect thong to enhance your figure may seem complex, but in reality, all it takes is a few tips to make the right choice. Each morphology has its own characteristics and deserves special attention to enhance its beauty. Let's find out together which thong cut is best suited to your figure.

G-string for a pear-shaped silhouette

If you have a pear-shaped figure, with hips wider than shoulders, opt for a thong tanga. This type of thong offers moderate coverage on the hips while remaining discreet under your clothes. It perfectly balances your proportions and will enhance your natural curves without creating unwanted marks.

G-string for an apple-shaped silhouette

For those with an apple-shaped silhouette, where the upper body is fuller than the hips, the Brazilian thong is your best ally. With its scalloped cut and ability to visually elongate the legs, it creates a harmonious balancing effect. What's more, it subtly accentuates curves without adding extra volume.

Thong for an hourglass figure

Are you lucky enough to have an hourglass figure with balanced shoulders and hips and a well-defined waist? Then you can afford almost anything! However, the classic thong, with its sleek lines and unrivalled comfort, remains a must-have choice. It hugs your shape perfectly without compromising comfort or elegance.

Don't forget that the most important thing is to feel good in your lingerie. Choose soft, non-irritating materials like cotton or silk to avoid everyday discomfort. And above all, have fun discovering what suits you best! Well-chosen lingerie can transform your day and boost your self-confidence.
