Oh yes, that's how I started minus the sewing part. I just got some briefs and cut the backside. I also had to hand-wash my thongs and dry them in my wardrobe. I also hid some of my thongs in my school bag. My mom once discovered my thongs when she tried to wash my bag. She wasn't too surprised but she threw them in the bin. I told her that I wore them because my ass was itchy. When she heard that, she got me some parasite medicine.
Anyway, my parents still think that I wear boxers. They always get me boxers when they visit me. Maybe they know about my thongs, and maybe that's why they are getting me boxers.
