G-string

"I've never been a fan of a G-string, I only ever wore one out of necessity on the red carpet or on photoshoots. Although what I wore was so revealing, I'm not sure you could call it a thong, perhaps just a piece of string."

"Thongs aren't any worse than full-coverage underwear as far as promoting or decreasing the chance of infection or irritation—as with other styles, it's ultimately the materials that matter. Still, if you opt for a thong, go for one that fits properly and has a cotton crotch panel, as a too-tight thong can lead to chafing, particularly if it's a G-string style."

"If Kim Kardashian, Beyoncé and Hailey Bieber can rock a G-string bikini with unparalleled confidence, then why the hell can't the rest of us? Our bums are as worthy of soaking up the sun as any other part of the body. Get those peaches out!"

"The G-string, which was often sequined and rhinestoned, was a cultural marker of glamorous erotic entertainment. Non-professionals wore them for costumes or naughty private play, but generally not as underwear until Frederick's of Hollywood began to make a more wearable version of them available as underwear through their catalogs and stores."
