Public display of underwear

I'm sure you all know exactly what I'm talking about here!  It's a new fashion craze or so it would seem, you can't go out to a bar or club or even just walk down the street without seeing it.

Public display, a new fashion craze!

I am of course referring to the now infamous whale tail thong thang.  We all woke up one morning and it was suddenly okay to walk around in public with your underwear visible!

I can't say for sure when I first noticed this phenomenom, but it is something that is quite difficult to ignore these days because it is now quite fashionable.  It's seriously putting me off my pint down the local pub!

Some are just plain and you’ll catch the odd glimpse here and there. That’s okay, the occasional mishap happens to the most modest person in the world.  On the opposite side of the coin some people make a big deal about it and that thong is definately meant to be seen.  Judging by the way they’re sometimes decorated with sparkly bits or have slogans embroidered on them it looks like thongs can either be categorised as underwear or a fashion accessory these days.

Don’t get me wrong.  I’m not a prude and I’m not about to presume I can tell a person what he or she can and can’t wear.   Occasionally catching sight of something you generally don't see is one thing, but I guess what I am trying to say is that I think it looks a little bit tacky when it is really obvious.  It's just my opinion mind you - maybe I'm just too old to appreciate all this!

I would go even further and say that on SOME people they’re just not cutting the right image and it really isn't very attactive at all.  Just as rings, necklaces, earrings, tattoos etc. don’t look right on everyone, the same goes for publicly displaying underwear.

One final thought…  Yes I do think guys that wear their jeans slung low with their boxers showing over the top does in fact look quite rediculous!

I think I may be quite alone in this, but I beleive that it's not for me or anyone else to dictate what others wear. For all I care people should be able to walk around in full skiing gear one day and naked the next, it's not a big deal, I wouldn't be offended, and I wouldn't complain.

However that's not to say I'd do so myself, or feel comfortable if my partner were to have a whale tail showing, thankfully I've found someone at least slightly like me.


(I love how capitalisation of "i" is forced, I've been slipping up with that lately.)

Seems like a very strange idea to me and not one I have an opinion on really. Guys and Gals should be free to wear what they want as long as it's decent.

I like letting the thong strap show. If the back comes up when sat down then let it show

I found the answer of not showing your underwear when your dressed. The new undies are completly backless. I seen them on a web site and on you tude. They are called the Pert backless brief. I might try them you never know they might solve the peek a boo problem.

I don't really mind to be truthful. I think they look great on and off, all colours and styles.

I will tap anything with a heartbeat even if it is a bag of walnuts.

Love the way they feel, who cares what everyone else thinks! Minds are like parachutes unless they are open the don't work!

this does seem to be an ever growing thing lately, there is a woman mother in her early thirtys at work who used to be pretty reserved but after she split from her partner she has decided to show it all and it seems to be working for her as she is now working much less hours around her child and obviously on a much higher imcome. often the scene is her at her desk with a pair of jeans that are so small they look painted on kinky boots and her thongs are always so high you cant see where they end so they look like a landing strip up her back. or I think the worst was on a hot day last year with her totally see through white trousers and a stupidly visible bright red thong. I mean this seems to work for her as all the managers fall at her feet but when I ask for any sort of financial help I just get the bug off offer.

People who like to show their underwhere in public are obviously self obsessed with themselves. Real sad. If you react negatively to this note then clearly you're one of them :o)

I think showing a thong is like showing a bit of cleavage providing you dont go over the top I think its ok. I wear very low waisted jeans and have tried hipster thongs but they give the feeling they are falling down and I hated that but I dont make a point of showing my thong off I never really shows when im standing but you do get a little peek when I lean over but the full on show is when I have to sit down or squat to look at a low shelf but that happens to the best of us.

my girlfriend sometimes has her thong out for the world to see which I dont mind as ive always found the look very sexy but I hate the attention it brings on occasion. she doesnt do it deliberately but since she has started wearing these skinny jeans they show really bad like the other day we were out for dinner and she looked really smart but I noticed when she sat her thong was so high it actually dissappeared up into her top and when I made her aware of it she just felt to see where it was and shrugged her shoulders.

It’s always great to see a bit of undies on a girl for a guy. But the thong is not everyone’s cup ‘o tea. I cannot help looking at them but cannot see the sexiness in showing them off.

Perhaps the wearer is an exhibitionist and the observers pervs.
