Thong

A thong is a garment which is generally worn as either underwear or swimsuit. From front a thong looks like a bikini bottom, but at the back the material is reduced to bare minimum. Thongs are generally designed to cover genital area and leave the buttocks uncovered. At the back the garment generally comprises a thin waistband along with thin strip of material, which is meant to worn between the buttocks.

G-String

While G-string and thongs are synonymous to each other and G-string is a variety of thong however, there’s a small difference between the two. While from the front it’s hard to spot the difference but, from back one can easily differentiate between them.

Difference between Hipsters, Boyshorts and Bikini styles

Boyshorts

These panties are styled after men’s brief and are designed to cover maximum area. These types of panties have leg openings that extend a few inches below the widest part of the hip, or just above the mid-thigh. It has garnered a lot of popularity nowadays as it eliminates visible panty lines.

Hipsters

Hipster panties have the same low-rise waistline as boy shorts, but the difference lies in leg openings which are well above the thighs. It helps in preventing uncomfortable ride-up that some women might experience while wearing longer-cut boy shorts. Although hipsters are considered as full-coverage style, there are some designs in which the cut is higher in the rear than classic boy shorts or briefs.
