I always get my thongs from actual stores, and every time I go thong shopping, I try to visit every sex store in town. Gregg Homme and JM are based in my town, so I can easily get my hands on Gregg Homme and JM.
Never had an unpleasant thong shopping experience, but I had one embarrassing moment at a department store. So one time, I was able to get twelve Papi thongs at a department store. I had to get a basket because my hands were full. I got a basket and went to the register, but there was a long line. So there I was in line with a basket full of thongs and people behind me could see what I had in the basket. When it was my turn to pay, the cashier scanned my thongs one by one. I was so embarrassed that I quickly paid for my stuff and and left the store.
