Thong Be Gone

By: Amanda Coggin (View Profile)

Why have all of those Boyshorts, when you can have Lily’s Girlshorts? I tried these once and my thighs looked like this photo—I need to get me a pair.

Apparently, the Sex and the City star that friends say I remind them of the most (hint: she wore glasses on Square Pegs) prefers these high dollar numbers. When I become a star in my next life (or get tan or maybe a raise), I’m buying the La Perla Pink Lace Short.


Who: The “I Guess I Asked For That Spank” Girl

What: Honeydew Animal Print Mesh Rumba Short and American Apparel Lamé Hot Short

Why: For The Love Parade in San Francisco this summer, I wore a turquoise waist apron with a cherry on the front pocket. In the back, I wore a pair of rumba shorts with little red cherries on the bum! The first time I got a little spank from a stranger it was fun, but the fourteenth time it hurt. Thank god good House music and love was in the air, or else I might have hit someone back!

The hot lamé numbers are perfect for Halloween, Burning Man, or that Saturday night when your honey expected microwaved leftover soup, but instead you made him a three-course meal with gold lamé for dessert!

I hate thongs with a passion and I believe they were invented by a high-school boy with too much time on his hands and not enough girlie magazines. I never worry about panty-lines--comfort comes first. Actually I believe the only ones who notice panty-lines are other women--who understand and don't really care,-- and snot nosed high-school boys who--oh, never mind.

Loved the article! I swear by my favorite boyshorts as well...and I've got a fairly decent-sized bottom! I wrote a post about my search for the "perfect pair of underwear" on my blog at www.thatcoolbroad.com. But I definitely think I'll check out some of your picks! xoxo tcb

I'm with you, Monique... I thought I was pretty smart when I bought a bunch of boy shorts, thinking I could get away with never wearing another thong, but I was sorely disappointed. The boy shorts all rode up my butt and instead of having a little scrap of fabric wedged up there, I'd have an unsightly and very uncomfortable bunch. Now I only wear boy shorts when I'm lounging around in PJ's, or with a skirt or dress.

For me, as a healthy-bottomed girl, it's about panty lines. And I've got to give the thong credit for being just about the only undergarment that spares me. Even boy shorts creep up, and are good with some clothes, but not with all. What can I say: we're all endowed differently, so let your shape dictate the best unmentionable for your unmentionables.
It feels good to write.
