Is the thong dead?
If Cosmo says it, it has to be true and in this case, thank goodness.
The magazine that brings the world headlines like “Hot, Sexy, Hair” and “99 Sex Moves,” declares the thong dead in its February edition.
Cosmopolitan - a publication clearly known for its hard-hitting, investigative journalism - says it conducted an “investigation” and uncovered that advancements in no panty line technology has sealed the thong’s faith.
Once considered one of the “50 Ways to Turn ON Your Man,” thongs have been eclipsed in popularity by more comfortable undies like the boy shorts, Cosmo reasons.
The fact that the one advantage the thong had over all other styles of underwear has now been completely eliminated puts a major, er, crack in the thong’s appeal, the article says

I sure hope not. I always look forward to the big girls in thongs calendar each year. I would imagine the girls out there look forward to the 300+ lb. men in those thongs in their new calendar also.

These are the most disgusting dirty uncomfortable things you can wear…but yeah, they can be pretty sexy. I’m sick of all the panties in my size being these nasty thongs. besides, thongs are really the name for flip-flops and should go back to that. Thongs do nothing to hold you in or support ‘other’ things—if ya know what I mean, and who really cares if someone sees a lines that says you got underwear on!?!?!?! That was coz of back in the old days when women wore really tight thin pants! They’re just stupid now and I want more choices in cool undies like bikini or boy shorts or even low cut cotton ones for summer. NASTY on the ‘thong’ part during the summer…gag.
