Thong & V-String Panties

Q: When Should I Wear a Thong?

Thongs are a must-have under tight-fitting clothing like leggings or dresses. The minimal, seamless design minimizes panty lines, especially string styles. They are a great pair of everyday underwear and a fun addition to your lingerie collection. Thongs are sometimes mistakenly believed to be unhygienic, but as with any underwear, washing after each wear keeps them clean.

Q: Are Thongs Comfortable?

Another misconception is that thongs are uncomfortable to wear. With the right fit and quality fabrics like cotton or lace, thongs can actually offer immense comfort and freedom to move, especially under tight-fitting clothing where other styles bunch up. Victoria’s Secret spent the last 2+ years working with 600 women to perfect our leg openings, smooth finish, and coverage where you need it for comfortable everyday panties.

Q: What Is the Difference Between a Thong and a V-String?

A thong features a narrow strip of fabric at the back, while a V-string, or g-string, panty has an even thinner string that creates a V shape in the back. Both styles are designed to offer minimal skin coverage and are often more revealing—perfect for tight outfits.

Q: How Do I Care for Thongs and V-Strings?

Most thongs and V-strings are designed for daily wear which means you can wash them in a machine like normal. Try using a mesh laundry bag and a gentle cycle to protect delicate panties. Always check the care label for specific instructions and air dry to maintain shape.

Get cheeky with thongs, g-strings, and v-string panties in pretty lace and comfy cotton.

Thongs, G-Strings & V-String Panties

Thanks to their minimal design, thongs are as practical as they are flattering. They’re ideal to wear with everything from tight-fitting clothing, to workout leggings, to absolutely nothing at all. Whether you prefer classic cotton panty styles or playful, sexier styles, Victoria’s Secret has a thong for every occasion and preference.

Types of String Panties

What Is a Thong?

A thong is a style of underwear meant to provide minimal coverage with narrow strips of fabric in the front, back, and waistband. This distinctive design makes panty lines virtually invisible, which is why thongs are an excellent choice to wear under form-fitting outfits. Thongs have evolved over the years, transitioning from sexy simwear to mainstream underwear thanks to their practicality and aesthetic appeal. They are typically made from a variety of materials, including breathable cotton, luxurious satin, or delicate lace, each offering a unique level of minimalism and flirtatiousness.

Seamless Thongs

Seamless thongs are popular for an extra smooth, nearly invisible silhouette under clothes. Constructed without edges, seams, or bulky stitching, these thongs hide unwanted panty lines and wrinkles under curve-hugging garments. Not only do our seamless thongs have a sleek finish, but they're also crafted from ultra-soft and stretchy materials to prevent irritation throughout the day. Seamless thongs are versatile for everyday wear and especially useful for special occasion dresses and skirts for a perfect night out look.

Lace Thongs

Lace thongs are an elegant and timeless piece to your lingerie collection. Our delicate intricate lace patterns provide a touch of luxury for moments when you want to feel a little extra glamorous. Our Supersoft ForeverStretch™ Lace moves with you for a comfortable fit and a smoothing silhouette that enhances your natural curves. Other designs include lace trim thongs that maintain comfortable cotton gussets with cute lace trim.

Sheer Thongs

Sheer thongs have the ultimate barely there feel with a see-through look that balances comfort and romance. They are made from fine, lightweight fabrics which makes them fun for special occasions. Our breathable mesh, chiffon, or tulle gently hugs the skin for an impeccable fit without compromising comfort on skin. Perfect for adding a layer of mystery, sheer thongs complement most lingerie.

Crotchless Thongs

Crotchless thongs offer a daring twist on the traditional thong design. This seductive style has an open crotch area for convenience. Combining delicate lace, breathable mesh, or smooth satin, crotchless thongs are designed to be both comfortable and alluring. They add an unexpected edge to your lingerie collection, especially for romantic occasions when you want to feel bold and confident.

What is a V-string?

G-strings and V-strings are characterized by a very thin string that forms the waistband and a small triangular patch at the front for minimal coverage. Victoria’s Secret is known for offering a wide range of V-string thongs, each designed to deliver comfort, style, and utility. From t-string backs that emphasize a low-rise horizonal line to high cut v-strings with a defining V-shaped back, these string styles are the most discreet option for form-fitting clothes and sexy lingerie. With its barely-there coverage and a sleek, no-show design, they’re perfect for a sleek look and free of panty lines. Go for a classic cotton panty for an extra comfortable fit or choose a lacy option if you’re feeling bold and sexy.

What are Cheeky Panties and Tanga Panties?

Cheeky panties and tanga panties are a more modest option for those who want a bare-look but with slightly more coverage. Cheeky panties, or cheekies, are known for their playful and exposed back. They provide more coverage than a thong, especially around the crotch, while still exposing skin in the back. Tangas combine the cheek-peak of a thong with the wider supportive bands of a Brazilian panty. The broader side bands help keep them in place while the thinner backside adds a touch of romance.

How Should a Thong Fit?

Thongs should have a snug fit, but never dig into skin. Whether lace or cotton, the fabric should lay flat and smooth to prevent any rolling or bunching. Many thongs have a low-rise design, and you can also try a variety of high-rise thongs for flattering leg cuts and tummy control shapewear. Victoria's Secret thongs are available in sizes XS - XXL, and customers love our true-to-size fit. Our alpha sizes are based on waist and hip measurements, and it may be useful to measure your waist and hips to confirm your size.

How to Measure Waist: Bend to one side to find the natural indentation in your torso. This is your waist. Run a soft measuring tape around the natural waistline, keeping the tape parallel with the floor. You can add a finger between the body and tape to measure a more comfortable fit.

How to Measure Hips: Stand on a level surface with your feet together. Measure around the fullest part of your hips and bottom (approximately 7”-9” below waistline), keeping tape parallel with the floor.

Thongs are a must-have under tight-fitting clothing like leggings or dresses. The minimal, seamless design minimizes panty lines, especially string styles. They are a great pair of everyday underwear and a fun addition to your lingerie collection. Thongs are sometimes mistakenly believed to be unhygienic, but as with any underwear, washing after each wear keeps them clean.

How Do I Care for Thongs and V-Strings?

Most thongs and V-strings are designed for daily wear which means you can wash them in a machine like normal. Try using a mesh laundry bag and a gentle cycle to protect delicate panties. Always check the care label for specific instructions and air dry to maintain shape.
