Thongpas

Thongpas are a type of underwear characterized by a minimal amount of fabric, typically covering the buttocks with a narrow strip of material or a triangular piece of cloth. The front portion is usually more substantial, providing coverage for the genital area. The design aims to reduce visible panty lines, making them a popular choice for wear with form-fitting clothing.

The term "thong" originates from a similar garment worn by indigenous peoples in various parts of the world, though modern thongs are a Western fashion development. They come in a wide range of materials, including cotton, lace, silk, and synthetic blends, and are available in numerous styles and colors. Some thongs are designed for everyday wear, while others are intended for athletic activities or as lingerie. The specific cut and coverage can vary significantly between different styles, leading to variations such as the G-string, which has an even narrower rear section.
