Agreed.

I let my nieces try them on, but they were disgusted and bothered by how uncomfortable they are.

I wore them when I was 17, and they sucked for me. My friends wore them and it didn't affect their lives. Now if a 10 year old is wearing one, it's time to slap the parents perhaps.

I wore thongs when I was 16 and up. I never wore them outside my jeans. I stopped wearing them bcs they are so noticable when you bend over, even when wearing a belt. It makes me emberassed.

My daughter turned six today. I don't think I'll be letting her wear anything but regular-styled underwear and boy shorts until she is at least 13 or 14. I'm sorry, but thongs are blatantly sexual, and there's no need for a child to be wearing something sexy.

I think under 12 is inappropriate, later than that it depends on the child.

I started wearing thongs maybe late in middle school or early high school. I wanted to try them as I suspected they would show up less under clothes. I found them more comfortable, too. For years, anything that covered more seemed like a diaper. My mom is somewhat conservative, but she bought them for me early on. I dressed pretty modestly and didn't have a serious boyfriend until late in my teens. It was no big deal, it was underwear. No one seen it. That is, until I became more interested in sex around 17 or 18...and I started buying g-strings and such.

As much as I'm dreading the day that my daughter buys her first thong (several years down the road luckily), I'd be okay with her wearing one if she felt comfortable enough doing so. All in all it's her decision, not mine, and if she wants one bad enough then she'll go to the store with some friends and buy herself some without my knowledge. I remember my mother tried to tell me that I wasn't old enough for them and so I went out and bought three the very next day.

It never occured to me that this would be an issue of contention with people. I guess I don't think it matters what kind of underwear she would wear because unless it's hanging out, no one will know that she has a thong on. I think I started wearing thongs when I was 14, but that was because a girl at school made fun of my VPL one day and I was embarrassed, not because I wanted to impress any boys. It certainly didn't make me more sexually active. Heck I didnt even kiss a boy until I was 18.

I was raised by my dad since my mom died when I was a kid, so I think he figured the less he could talk about underwear with me, the better. He pretty much would just give me some money and let me get what I wanted. I also think since I was allowed to buy whatever underwear I wanted, the novelty of thongs wore off rather quickly.

Honestly I think whether or not your daughter wants a thong should be way down on the list on things to worry about.

Heres the deal with this. Thongs and G strings are sexy. Seeing a thong or g string peek out as a girl bends over is rly hot. That being said do you want your underage girl being looked at that way? I personaly dont. They say thongs and G strings are used so panty lines dont show but lets all be real they are just plain sexy.

I bought my first thong at 12. Looking back, that is pretty young. I think 15 would have been better...

Honestly, it would bother me a little if my 14 year old daughter was wearing a thong or "racy" panties, but I was wearing them at 15, so I can't really say no without feeling like a hypocrite.

Honestly If I ever have a daughter she can wear whatever she finds comfortable. If she feels secure enough in herself to wear that all the power to her.

I would have a problem with her wearing like the lacy see-through ones, but plain cotton ones, probably not. As long as she is not dressing with most of her body hanging out, there's really no need to worry about it. Also as long as it isn't hanging out every time she bends over.

I am not at all into underage girls doing wearing anything sexual. Too many predators and pediphiles out there. I've experienced perverts and being taken advantage of by older men when I was a child as so many of my friends as well. Keep kids kids as long as possible!!!

My sister gave me seven thongs for my fifteenth birthday. My mom was fine with it. It's about comfort, not sexuality.

I'm sorry, that's kind of a knee-jerk reaction isn't it? Pedophiles are attracted to children, period. It doesn't have anything to do with what they are wearing or not wearing. It is simply the fact the child is a child. That's it. Wearing thongs no more sexualized me nor made me a victim than if I had been an adult when I decided to wear them.

Additionally, it stops being pedophilia at the age of 13 and becomes statutory rape and a child over the age of 13 is usually off the radar for a pedophile.

Edit: I am somewhat floored by some of these answers here. There are proper ways to wear thongs and no teenage girl should own a g-string. But I would almost bet my life if we took a poll about when most of the responders lost their virginity the numbers would be in the low teens, probably between 13-16 with sexual exploration having begun earlier. Teens ARE interested in sex, regardless of the underwear they choose.

I was going to make the panty line argument, but then decided girls that age shouldn't be wearing pants that tight anyway. Hah!

Seriously though, I think that if the girl is concerned with lines or anything, go for it. If she wants them to look sexy, ehhh that's a whole differnt story.

I've pulled my older dds' thongs out of the dryer ... more
Agreed, I would definitely not buy any daughters of mine sexy underwear, but if they go out and buy it on their own, who am I to confiscate their unders? Haha. When I was 13 I went out and bought myself some thongs, but I didn't want my mom to know so I'd wash them by hand and hang them to dry in my closet instead of putting them in with the wash. She eventually found them and thought it was a bit weird, but was accepting and told me to just put them in the wash like normal after that. My future kids are going to get the same treatment.

Stifling kids sexuality isn't going to change the actions of creepers. Creepers are creepers and that's it.

I'm not encouraging anyone to buy their kids frilly underthings, but if you actively show kids that sex is wrong (not only with words, but with actions like freaking out over a thong or other harmless yet sex-related item) there's a chance they're going to internalize it and turn it into some kind of sexual dysfunction later on. Learning healthy attitudes about sex happens slowly over a lifetime, you can't just suddenly flip a switch at an "appropriate" age and "let" them begin to explore that arena.

And like Pussy Galore said, this is a surprising reaction from this community particularly. I can recall pretty kinky fantasies I was having at age 7, an age when a lot of Western society is generally scandalized by any show of sexuality. Children are humans, and humans are sexual creatures. We don't have to encourage them to be blatant and showy in their sexuality, but we do kinda need to just get over it.

I've been wearing a thong since I was 12 or 13. People need to remember that there is nothing explicitly sexual about thongs. The reason thongs exist is to do away with visible panty lines. They originally (and still do)served a specific function. That they've become synonymous with "sexy" is something that our culture and society have done. Therefore wearing a thong should really be considered no different than wear brief type underwear. It's all about perception.

Depends. As a teenager I started wearing thongs because:
a) they meant no panty lines
b) my girlfriends wore them and I at least wanted to know what it was like
c) they made me feel more womanly/grown up. I've always been a huge fan of pretty lingerie because the only people who ever see it are myself and my partner, which makes it like a fun little secret

I didn't wear them to show anyone but myself, and I actually find the string ones uncomfortable so I've always worn the fuller ones. They were also ALWAYS worn under pants (i.e not under a skirt, esp. a flowy one) and never peeked above the top of my jeans. Because of all of this, my mom never had a problem with my wearing them and I think that if I had a daughter with the same approach, that would be completely fine by me. My main concern would just be that she's not wearing them to flaunt them and that like any other types of panties, her underwear stays under her clothes (I also have a personal issue with exposed bra straps ).

And apparently thongs pose a bit of a health risk if you wear them all the time (you can double check this on google!), so I would encourage my daughter to wear varied styles of underwear. I only wear them when I go out, or have a night in

This would be a lot less weird if it were phrased, "Should underage girls not be allowed to wear thongs?" or something else of that nature. This is definitely in the wrong category and I find that a little disturbing.
