ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Thong

A thong is a type of underwear that goes between your butt cheeks. It's like a skinny strip of fabric that doesn't cover your whole butt like regular underwear does. Think of it like the string of your balloon that holds it up in the air, but for your bum instead. Some people wear them because they feel it's more comfortable, while others wear them because they want to avoid having panty lines showing through their clothes. It's important to make sure you get the right size and material so that it doesn't feel uncomfortable for you.
