PrEtTyKiTtY0428 answered Wednesday July 20 2005, 10:16 pm: Hey hun!
You don't have to tell your friends that you don't like thongs. If you tell them you don't like them, and they call you granny then their not true friends. True friends wouldn't make fun of you for not liking thongs. People have different opinions. If you tell them you don't like thongs, and they call you granny, then you should definitely find some new friends. Your friends seem very immature, if they'd make fun of you cuz of that. As for your parents, you shouldn't feel uncomfortable and guilty just because they don't know your wearing them. If your parents find out, you should tell them it's your body so you should be able to choose what kind of underwear you want to wear. It is just underwear. The only thing your parents should think if they ever find out is that their daughter likes a different style of underwear. It's not a big deal! I, myself, prefer thongs, because their comfortable. You can't even feel them. It's better to wear thongs, cuz you can't see a pantyline. You can buy tons of different thongs with different colors, styles, and you get a big variety! At first, they'll be uncomfortable but once you start to wear them more you'll get used to them. I hope I helped you out hun! Good luck! If I didn't help you I'm sorry. :-) If you have anymore questions, feel free to leave em in my inbox. Sorry this is so long! [ PrEtTyKiTtY0428's advice column | Ask PrEtTyKiTtY0428 A Question ]

i_love_my_bitch answered Wednesday July 20 2005, 1:00 pm: My friend had the exact same problem. Well go up to your mom and dad and say, "Can i just buy one thong and see how i like it and if i dont like it then i wont wear them again?" and they will most likely say yes. Now, when you get your thong it is going to be uncomfortable for you at first because you've never worn them before, so it takes some getting used to. You wont want to wear them anymore after the first time you try it but you have to get used to them and then it will seem like its all you wear... o0x Ashlee [ i_love_my_bitch's advice column | Ask i_love_my_bitch A Question ]
Kickstrtmyhrt answered Tuesday July 19 2005, 9:26 pm: there are plenty of "non granny" type underwear that dont require going up your butt. try some lacy boy short underwear, or some panties with skiny side straps that kind of replicate a thong. go for low-riders too, so you dont have to worry about anything peaking out if you do get embarassed. there are tons of fun prints as well, or something with a saying on the butt... you cant do that for thongs.
once you get older, and your parents become more comfortable, if you do want to start wearing thongs, then go ahead. most parents just dont like their daughters wearing thongs because they think its because theyre becoming sexual. im pretty much every parents eyes, they see it as "why are you wearing that... who is going to see it, or worse, take them off?!"

X0C0URT answered Tuesday July 19 2005, 5:45 pm: If you don't want to wear thongs, don't. Your friends don't need to know what kind of underwear you where anyway! If you want to try some underwear that aren't "granny", go to Victoria's Secret. You should try the bikini or string bikini style. Hope this helps!
Nevaeh314 answered Tuesday July 19 2005, 4:05 pm: Don't worry. If your friends really have a problem with you not wanting to wear them, then you're being shallow and superficial. And a friend who encourages you to do something you don't want isn't a friend at all. There's a saying, "Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind." Just stay true to what you want to do, and tell your friends that they should appreciate you for who you are, not whether you follow all their trends.

VixenDark answered Tuesday July 19 2005, 8:19 am: Try bikini stle or boy shorts. They are much more comfotable. And you can explain to your parents that you need the shorter ones because of the lower waistline pants. [ VixenDark's advice column | Ask VixenDark A Question ]

Wear whatever feels comfortable for you. Sometimes people only wear thongs because they think it's sexy, not because of its comfort.
And if you don't like them, boyshorts are really trendy right now too. If anything, I think they're sexier than thongs, and they come in the cutest styles and don't reveal too much. I think you're parents would approve of those, at the least. I work in a department store and a week ago a grandma was buying a pair of character boyshorts for her 11 year old.

notmissperfect7 answered Monday July 18 2005, 11:36 pm: then wear wat you would like.no one can make you wear somethin you dont want.just be comfy in wat you wear and dont let them change you.
ncblondie answered Monday July 18 2005, 6:24 pm: If you don't like them, don't wear them. Wearing the same underwear as your friends is not worth the discomfort of wearing them or getting in trouble with your parents. True friends would like you no matter your underwear preference.
Talk to your parents and see if they would consider a skong (think skort only with thongs instead of underwear), bikinis, or boy leg panties. These are often more comfortable than thongs without the "granny" feeling of briefs.
GossipGirl56 answered Monday July 18 2005, 6:03 pm: Well, for one you don't always have to do what your friedns tell you to. it's like they're bossing you around & telling you what underwear to where! Also you said it was against you're parents rules-and belive me you DONT want them to EVER found out that this happend.One more thing don't you think when people call you "Granny", that is kinda mean?? Well i do. If i were you i would go right up to them and tell them that that isn't nice calling people rude names just cuz they don't like the same kind of underwear that they do. Think about that,and good luck!
mushoku answered Monday July 18 2005, 5:28 pm: There's nothing wrong with not wearing thongs, it's just preference. And, actually, hoo-rah for going against the chauvinistic trends of this culture! Seriously, don't bother trying to wear things to make a guy want to have sex with you - wear what you want.
Don't tell your friends if you don't want to, and if they say anything about it, just say that your parents don't let you and you don't think it's worth getting in trouble for. Because, well, it isn't. [ mushoku's advice column | Ask mushoku A Question ]
icey0990 answered Monday July 18 2005, 4:23 pm: dont wear thongs and the other stuff if your not comfortable wearing them! wear whats comfortable,what your used to, and what your allowed. You dont have to wear thongs..dont change for anyone! your friends shouldnt make a big deal ..i mean its just underwear? and underwear isnt something friends need to be sharing with each other..
just my opinion [ icey0990's advice column | Ask icey0990 A Question ]
xoBrowneyes answered Monday July 18 2005, 4:03 pm: Talk to your parents! Give them reasons why you should be able to! If they say yes but you don't like the way they feel then buy ONE pair and where them to bed when you wake up in the morning you shouldn't feel them at all!
Hope I Helped!
