stringejä
Stringejä, often referred to as thongs in English, are a type of underwear characterized by a minimal amount of fabric in the back, typically consisting of a narrow strip of material that passes between the wearer's buttocks. This design is intended to reduce or eliminate visible panty lines (VPL) when worn with tight-fitting clothing. Stringejä are available in a variety of materials, including cotton, lace, and synthetic blends, and come in different styles such as G-strings, T-backs, and other variations with differing back strap widths and shapes. Their primary function is often aesthetic, aiming for a seamless look under garments like dresses, skirts, and trousers. They can be worn by individuals of any gender, though they are most commonly associated with women's underwear. The term "stringejä" is a Finnish word for this garment.
