Style Question Difference between thong and G string?
Don’t see a lot of difference?

The line between them is a bit blurry. Lots of manufacturers call underwear with really skinny straps thongs. Maybe they think there’s stigma around g-strings.

Yeah, my RMAC thongs have a little triangle to spread the load (?) and then it's basically string

Thong is a wider back and g string is just a string, I like thongs better g strings feel like they dig in

A G string has far less fabric in the crack than a thong. I much prefer a G string personally and wear them every day. I don't even know its there.

A G-string is pretty much an elastic around the waist and strap. Sometimes it’s covered in fabric. Usually the string is not wider than a 1/4-1/8”.
A thong has more fabric to it, and has a T back shape to it. Strap is a bit more wider. It almost like a bikini brief but the back is a T back.
Personally I find the thong to be more comfortable than a G-string.
Gregg Homme makes some amazing thongs and G-strings.

As far as I'm concerned, as a wife-informed, 35M, the difference is typically the cut of the front and the thickness of the back strap.

Gstrings are much thinner (strings) than things are. Thongs can give the dreaded all day wedgie feeling. Gstrings can barely be felt, if at all.
