G-String

A g string is a narrow piece of cloth that covers the genitals and has a thin strip passing between the buttocks. This strip is attached to a band around the hips. G strings are worn both as swimwear and underwear (by both men and women). Although g string and thong swimsuits are often used as synonyms, there is slight difference between the two. G strings usually have lesser material between the legs (i.e. it has a string like appearance as evident from its name). G string, the earliest form of clothing, was first adopted by people living in warmer climates of sub-Saharan Africa. Evidence of people wearing g strings dates back to nearly 75,000 years ago. G strings were popular in various tribes in the Southern Africa. Like the 2000 year old (Japanese) fundoshi, g strings were designed with the male genitalia in mind. Contrary to their origin, g strings are more popular with women nowadays. Various types of g string include c string, t string and v string.

Steps For Buying G Strings

As mentioned above, g strings are gaining rapid popularity in both men and women both as a form of underwear and swimwear. Following are some considerations you should keep in mind before buying g string:

1. You should purchase g strings only after ensuring that you are comfortable with the little (or no) coverage they offer. For example, g strings are favored by (male) athletes performing vigorous physical activity. Thus, make sure they are in line with your lifestyle before buying g strings (in both underwear and swimwear).

2. Another important consideration for buying g strings is what you do while wearing them. Tight fitting thong style g strings are most suited for professional swimmers and other athletes (engaged in water sports) since their immaculate fit.

3. It is wise to select a g string keeping in view your body and skin type. For example, some people having sensitive skins and are allergic to various fabrics such as Lycra, nylon and polyester etc. G strings for men are available in a variety of fabrics including spandex, Lycra, cotton and a mixture of these three materials.

4. G strings are the recommended type of swimwear for a romantic evening by the pool because they help emphasize your sexuality. A well fitted g string helps highlight the shape of your hips, thighs and buttocks making you look and feel sexier. We would recommend avoiding cheeky g strings made of shiny leather and flashy animal prints as they will make you look hilarious instead of sexy.

5. One of the most citied advantages of g strings is that they help avoid tan lines preventing your body from looking like a road map.
6. If you are planning to try g strings for the first time it is recommended that you buy one in a solid color because it would help you gain confidence (after getting used to wearing them publicly) and will help you move subtly from conservative g strings to more outrageous ones.

7. Remember that it is important to read the label before buying a g string. Make sure that the g string of your choice is designed, tested and geared towards active wear. If this is not the case, you may be faced with embarrassment on the beach or the pool.

8. Sheer and satin g strings should be avoided for rigorous physical activity such as swimming. Select a g string lined with soft elastic and a fabric lining to avoid itching.
