Cosmo is crazy. They are just pandering to their "overweight" reading population who are unable to wear thongs.
Maybe . . .maybe not.
Seems like the thong became popular when jeans were lower. When a woman sat down, the jeans went way down but the thong stayed up. Hence, the reason why alot of thongs had those decorative accessories in the back. Also, better to view (or to have someone view on you) a decorative thong instead of a butt crack.
Now jeans are higher-- not mom-jeans of course but below the hip line.
I don't think thongs will ever fully go away. They're great in really hot weather.
The panty line argument doesn't really fly so much anymore, since there are all kinds of underwear made out of cotton or microfiber or silk in various cuts that don't give VPL. I've always thought that the "guys love thongs" thing was overplayed, because I've never worn a thong in my life and I've never had any complaints.
I have tried about a million different kinds of underwear that aren't supposed to give panty lines. I still get them without a thong.

I never did like them. In my entire adult life, I had only owned 3 thongs. They are not good to wear. They give you yeast infections and things like that. And not to mention, they do get very uncomfortable after a while wearing them too.
I quit wearing them about 4 years ago (long before this so-called "news"). I said, "good riddance" long time ago.
Never wore one and would not have even when young, had they been in vogue back then. Personally, I cannot imagine anything more uncomfortable than walking around all day with a strap of cloth wedged into your butt crack. Way back in the olden days, women had elastic "sanitary belts" for holding menstrual pads in place and that was the same thing as a thong. I hated them and with my third menstrual period I started using tampons and never went back to those uncomfortable belt-and-pad things. (Except for right after having a baby.)
I've never worn them and never will. They don't do what underwear is supposed to do, protect your sensitive areas from harsh materials, and I don't dress for men's sexual fantasies.
My 23 yr old daughter has worn them for the "low jean/thong" look, but has always prefered bikini panties herself. I think the point of the article is that THIS PARTICULAR LOOK is over. You may still wear them but if they aren't going to be showing anymore many women will abandon them for something more comfortable.
Cosmo is crazy. They are just pandering to their "overweight" reading population who are unable to wear thongs. 99% of my wife's underwear are g-strings and the other are thongs.
When you wife gains a few lbs with time and age she may change her mind. And her underwear.
Good riddance to the thong. What an obnoxious piece of underwear! You knew they were going too far when they made maxi pads designed to fit onto a thong.
Thanks for a very humorous answer. And you got that right, damn uncomfortable things. Exactly what you said is right.

Boy do i agree with you. It is very uncomfortable walking around with a strap of cloth in the butt crack, never liked the feeling. I am not big in any way, and still do not like that feeling. In the heat of the moment, no problem, because excuse me, they will be coming off fast, really don't like the suckers.
On another note, being a natural 40EE if i could do away with the bra, i would in a heartbeat, if i could and get away with it, i would throw the damn bra, away with my thongs. WHAT'S left my natural STATE.
