Bought my first 2 thong g-strings online from fredericks when I was 11, used mom's credit card of course. From the stores Ive always bought the smallest possible like the bikinis but I still get bored so I have always looked for thongs. I have tried several brand thongs that have the 1 inch waist band (sporty ones) until I discovered joe snyder and bought my first 15 g-strings from them, all white, and to be used as everyday underwear.
