On Thongs, Boyshorts, and the Future of Panties

Sure, as Rachel Lusty Lady has pointed out, Hottpants wasn't asked about the demise of the thong. But it's not like we don't have an opinion.

It is clear that in the debate of thong vs. boyshorts, boyshorts have several distinct advantages, while thongs have distinct disadvantages. Generally, if a thong has advantages, they are related to the specific clothes being worn. For instance, thongs are better under tights or with specific pairs of pants, whereas boyshorts might be "too much underwear" in that situation.

Boyshorts can be worn, as is noted in the Times, around the house. They can also be worn with miniskirts to prevent subway problems, under basically any clothes, and do not go up your ass, which is an advantage on a hot day. Also, they generally make your ass look better, but it depends on the cut.

Hottpants doubts that men are actually that invested in subtlety, and would probably favor thongs since they get to see more. Since visuals of the boyshort are a real winner and since boys love soft things, for maximum comfort (for girls) and sexiness for boys, Hottpants says: Thong-cut boyshort. Compromise doesn't always work, but in this case, it does.
