The hype isn’t hype; the 4811 RULES
I’d seen the Hanky Panky #4811 touted in several places as that most unlikely of products, an attractive lace thong that is not uncomfortable. I picked one up recently, and it doesn’t disappoint. The 4811 looks good and doesn’t feel bad. Sorry, but I’m not quite sure I can make the leap to the statement that it’s comfortable. For me, the best I can say is that I mostly forget that I’m wearing it.
Some of you may wonder why women put up with any discomfort at all from our undergarments. But for even moderately low-rise pants–which are pretty much all that is out there over the last few years–a low-rise undergarment is de-rigeur. Yes, one can go commando. I prefer to try to get a couple wears out of an item before laundering it, though, and I feel better about this when I’m wearing underpants. One can wear bikinis, but VPL (visible pantie line) makes everybody feel like a victim. Thongs eliminate VPL, don’t ride up over the waistline (unless encouraged to do so, and I think most of us were thankful to see the quick end to that tarty little trend), and allow me not to feel too skanky about wearing a pair of jeans more than once.

One former gf, whenever anyone asked about thong wear (and this would happen more than one might think) would invariably respond with: “every step is a pleasure.” Another just liked the thongs for their lack of VPL, and this was ever so important in the customary clothing of her chosen profession.

i have found the equivalent to my old favorite cotton Jockeys (a veritable VPL criminal) in a thong:
American Apparel’s Invisi-thong. but if you’re around a size 8, just buy it in an XL, because it’s gonna shrink.
