Topic sounds weird, but my question is innocent. I'm wondering if any thongers have any kids? If so, did having kids hinder you from wearing thongs for fear of them potentially seeing you, or finding them in the laundry. I'm not suggesting anyone should be flaunting their thong around kids, just curious if having kids changed your thonging habits. Or, I know some families are naturists/nudists, does this include thonging? Just curious.

I have 2 year old son but he's not at the age if he was to find it he'd know exactly what it was. But I've been thinking about what to do or how to handle that issue when it does happen.
-
I have no kids but my observation is that kids until 4 to 6 years of age don't give a hoot about thongs and strings because they are still discovering the world. After they are indoctrinated by their parents or other supervising bodies, the kids may develop a restricted view.
So raising kids in a liberal way will prevent most unsound attitudes in a later life. That is why it is a good idea to take the kids to naturism events if you are into naturism.

That's an interesting topic. Insofar as washing and storing your thong underwear I wouldn't make a big deal of it, and maybe go for semi-discrete, as you might when washing any of your own clothing anyway. I do enjoy walking around the house wearing a thong - but that's one of the luxuries that I enjoy living alone. I wouldn't be comfortable lounging around in my thong underwear in front of most people to begin with - and I certainly would never feel comfortable walking around in a thong with children around. If I had children then, at most, I'd sequester myself to the bedroom behind a closed and locked door before dropping my pants to enjoy sporting only a thong.

Thanks for those who responded. I'm a new dad and for a couple days it's felt a little weird to thong. It was like something changed and I need to wear my granny panties (and by granny panties I mean bikinis, haha) anyway, I normally walk around in a thong while getting dressed or lounging with the husband, but realized that might change as the baby gets older. A couple of times, i got up in my thong when the baby cried or needed to be fed. Felt a little weird but was too tired to care, haha. I suppose I'll figure it out as we we go.
-
i have a 2 year old and don't plan to make a big deal over the type of underwear i wear. i figure if i make it seem normal enough, there shouldn't be weirdness. we'll see i guess.
-
i think its not a big deal - iv seen a pics online with fathers wearing thongs on the beach and still playing with their babies.. on the end of the day its just an underwear,,
-
I've been around my young nieces and nephews in a thong under shorts - they're all young enough that they wouldn't know the difference but given they're not MY kids, i would never be in any underwear around them...so i guess it really doesn't matter what I wear. I do think that when they're older that i don't want them to start digging around in my underwear drawer (not that they would), so i might put my skimpy undies in a basket on higher and higher shelves in my closet! Glad you felt comfortable bringing this up...it IS a consideration!
-
I've worn thongs as my normal everyday underwear for 15+ years. I have kids in high school and college. I made no effort to hide them. It's just underwear. No adverse reaction from the kids.
-
that's good.. and have they ever said anything, I'm not talking about any negative reactions, just have they ever said they know, they saw.. or whatever? Rjthongs ?
-
When there has been a mis-sort on the clean clothes, they have put my thong underwear back in my room and said "This is yours. It's a thong." No reaction other than being annoyed that their Dad's underwear got mixed in with their clothes. Just normal kid stuff. Would have gotten the same reaction for a pair of briefs.
-
That's just amazing, and the most amazing part of its all is, that most of the time, the awkwardness is created by.. ourselves.

My 4.5 year old son walked in on me changing out of my clothes while I was wearing one. At first I was nervous he'd notice but he was asking me if I'd seen (some toy or something) of his and he was all business, maintained eye contact and honestly think he couldn't have cared less what I was wearing. I think part of the reason is my wife and I want to instill the idea that the human body in and of itself isn't sexual or something to be ashamed of. I routinely take showers with him, so it's not like there was something he hadn't really seen before. I do have a daughter who is going to be 2 soon, once she gets to be 4.5, it may be a different story, but I hope not.
-
Been a debate here for sure. Underwear of course because they don't see it and I handle the laundry so no big. When they were younger we wore thongs because they were young. Now my wife goes a more conservative cheeky thong and I go boardies but thongs without them. Not sure how they'd react to dad in a skimpy beach thong. The tan lines need to be managed at home but there yiu have it.
-
I have 6yr old son and I only wear thong and g-string underwear. He’s seen me wearing many times and laughs because it’s so small. Besides that its not a big deal here.

My son now 2 1/2 walked in on me in our camper one day this summer. I was wearing a thong and he laughed said see dad’s butt. That was it and he went on with whatever he was doing.

haha nice. i would laugh too if i saw my own dad hehe

Just a question. At what age can kids start wearing thongs? And as parents, would you be willing to buy them thongs? I started wearing thongs when I was 11.
-
its different when you have kids.. like i do not and i believe that i wouldnt mind but who knows..
-

I don't have kids so I'm at least not biased. I would say, as soon as they are asking and their motives are sincere. They should also be informed of possible negative reactions from others.

agree.

My wife started wearing thongs at 13 and me at 16. I would argue 12-13 for underwear but older for swimsuits

A couple years later and its still viewed as very normal to my child. I have no intentions of stopping wearing thongs. I haven't taken my child to the beach with me wearing just a thong yet, but I still may do so. I'd like to normalize it all.
-
i dont have kids yet but plan to. and my home uniform is undies and half the time a bathrobe over. that's never going to change. the only times i wear more is if i have in-laws visiting [they stay for months at a time xD] - or if it's crazy cold.
i think it's important to be confident and teach kids not to fear their own bodies, as I was taught when I was younger. BUT being in undies should also be considered non-sexual. i would never be explicitly exposed with my/or any child [but nudism is totes fine if it suits your family, by explicit i only mean aroused or in a sexual nature]. but it's totally normal to hang around the house in skivvies, no matter what that looks like. my nephew runs around in his diaper at my sister-in-law's house and his dad wears just boxers. that's totes no biggie.
for me, wearing thongs 15+ years now, they're just my undies of choice. my husband is not phased anymore by it and he lives in full pijamas [much to my dismay] but that's fine too!
normalizing is de-stigmatizing.
that said, if they were interested in thongs themselves, i probably would not buy them thongs until their teens, maybe older, because i'd want them to have a job and pay for their own stuff lol. Want a videogame? Wanna go to the movies with friends? want comfier undies? get a job.

As underwear, I'd just ask at what age girls start wearing thongs and up to what age is accepted they wear thongs. The same answers would be applied for a boy, but as male thongs are not very accepted in men at any age, if I were a father I'd tell him to wear it only at home or with the family, never to the high school, as much with his closest circle of friends if there were enough confidence, because during the teenage if you do something different you're at a high risk to be bullied. As male thongs are not easy to find, if my hipotetic son were not still grown and there weren't thongs for his size, I'd tell him to wait 1 or 2 years until there were for his size.
As swimwear, I'd first ask if is appropiated for a teen girl to wear a thong bikini. If it is, I'd apply the same for underwear.

I have a 6yo, 2yo and 1yo. My wife and I walk around nude or any state of dress around our kids without any reservations. This includes thongs. My daughter asked about my wife and I wearing thongs when she was younger and after we explained they were our choice, she never asked again. I won’t stop my kids from wearing thongs. I believe that if you forbid your kids from doing things they will do them in protest. If you give your kids all the information you can to make an informed decision, the best you can hope for is that they make the right choice.
-
I have worn thongs for over 20 years and have three boys, ages 17, 15 and 10. They are all well aware of my underwear choice, it is not anything that has been flaunted but not hidden either. They adjusted well, not their thing the older two admit, but are okay with it.
-
I wear thongs over 10 years. It has not being a discussion with my teenage daughters.
-
I’ve always told my son there’s different styles of underwear to chose from. What one person likes another may not. Wear what you’re comfortable with and as he gets older his likes may change. There’s nothing wrong with that. Thongs and Freeballing are what Daddy likes. He’s now 9 and thinks they’re funny looking. When he’s hyper he’ll sometimes grab a pair from my drawer and run around the house swinging them in the air laughing, or, putting it on his head.
-
I think this is not a big deal to wear thong underwear and walk around my 3-year-old kid. It's just underwear. But sometimes it makes you feel awkward.
-
My opinion, Thongs and Kids don't mix.
-
I have a 24yr old son who still lives at home with us, I have always worn thongs around the house from before he was born and it has never been an issue, I normally wear a tshirt as well unless I am sunbathing. If he has friends or a girlfriend home it's shorts on.
He wears boxers around the house, again with a tshirt, wife would not hang around the house in knickers so is generally in shorts unless we are in the garden when it is a bikini, sometimes a thong.
It really is only underwear and not a big deal..

Agree, but only from standpoint that this day and age, i don’t want kids to have to deal with the rest of the world thinking THEY are strange/weird for being around me in thongs.
-
yeah totes!
again I just like to emphasize that normalizing is de-stigmatizing. thongs are, for most of us, simply our underwear of choice. they dont have to be sexy, and wearing them doesnt mean you're about to have sex, and human bodies are not obscene, everybody has parts.
but our current culture is so [messed up or confused or insecure or uneducated or unexposed, choose your word lol] and afraid of skin baring male bodies, that not everyone feels that way.
-
I would have to agree the current culture in the USA is wary of males exposing any skin. It’s a shame. Looking back over all the art where male nudity was celebrated, we as a whole seem to now view male nudity or near nudity as a horror in many ways. I’ve read comments stating that men’s legs are “gross”, “disgusting”, and “unattractive”. I’ve heard passing comment among friends and coworkers that men should always be covered while a woman in minimal clothing is exalted. I’m not saying we all should run around naked, but we should also see all bodies as wonderful creations.
Normalizing thongs as a true choice is a good thing. Really the thong has a long history in male clothing and wear. Somehow we simply lost our way from it over the decades.
-
I think kids today are very open-minded and because of the whole LGBTQ awareness, they all try to stay 'woke'. Back when I was a kid, men had to cover themselves and stay 'masculine'. These days, I see a lot more metrosexual men. That means there are guys that wear make up and women's clothing.
A lot of people still think that thongs are for women only, but men's thongs are on the rise. Kids today are exposed to diversity, so a guy in a thong shouldn't surprise them too much.
-
Completely agree with asianthonger92 in the main. Thinking back I used to get grief in the early 2000s for - God forbid - wearing pink t-shirts and shirts! ??? I was called a ‘spice boy’ a few times. I lost 6 stone between the ages of 16 and 17 and became more interested in my appearance, styling my hair and wearing more flattering clothes.
I’d usually get grief from some whelk wearing a beige/brown t-shirt, so they’d get a waspish remark back. Years of being teased for being a bit chubby gave me a thick skin. I also once got told some bloke assumed I was gay because I wore a pair of ripped light blue denim jeans to a friend’s birthday. I laughed at that one.

Hello. I honestly feel that being a parent shouldn’t impact what undergarments I wear. I am a dad of a 3 year old and I mostly wear thongs. He has seen me in them, and even pointed and laughed at my butt. LOL He has different briefs with different characters and what not, I allow him to pick what he wants to wear.
I have even run across a couple of kids books geared at kids getting to pick the right underwear for them. The pic I have attached was from the book section at Costco. The premise is the same in both. Basically they are about finding the right kind of comfy underwear that are right for you. The author even goes so far as the pointing out the pirates undies are too tight so they bother him and make him itchy. Monster’s New Undies (we own a copy) is another great book about finding the perfect pair of undies for you. He goes shopping with his mom because his favorite pair is worn to pieces. He searches until he finds the ones just right for him.
In the future if my kid asks me why I wear thongs, I’ll tell him that I like them and that they are comfortable for ME.

I agree. Thongs are just a style of underwear nothing more, nothing less.
