clearlypink428 answered Wednesday June 21 2006, 5:04 pm: haha. i always get stumped with these kinds of questions because my parents were so lenient with things i did.my stepmom was actually underwear shopping with me and asked me if i would prefer thongs over regular underwear. but id say- just talk to her. she might have just freaked outwith your grandmother there because it was your gramma!- but i wouldnt suggest goin behind her back and doing it- bad idea, adn it will cause too much confusion. plus, what are you gonig to do with ONE thong. when you do get permission to wear them- youre going to want to buy alot. thats pretty much all i wear. i think theyre comfortable- and not once do i haveto worry about panty lines. jsut talk to her about it- and dont get pushy with her- if she says no- then she obviously has her reasons- watever the heck they may be.

Laney55 answered Wednesday June 21 2006, 3:32 pm: Appeal to her practical side- say something like "One of my friends said I should wear a thong under these pants because then you wouldn't see my panty-line." Throw in something about being self-conscious now, because of your friend's comment. If you can get her to approve of a plain one, she may warm up to the idea of the cute ones.

LoveNJstyle answered Tuesday June 20 2006, 3:08 pm: hahaha welllll i was in the same position as you when i was your age. (maybe even younger?) ok sooo my friends were goody goodies and STILL dont wear them so my advice is to totally kick that idea out. next time you're out underwear shopping (hopefully with just your mom) pick one up or look at one and say you'd like to try wearing one. make sure its not a totally lace-y, see thru one... just a regular one (solid colors work best on moms i think). then she might give in... if she freaks out (which i doubt she will...) just be like well it's under my clothes anyway. goodluck! <3 [ LoveNJstyle's advice column | Ask LoveNJstyle A Question ]
HCOBABI answered Tuesday June 20 2006, 1:18 pm: The next time your shopping with your mom , Go pass the underwear section and look at thongs, ask your mom to buy you one because you think they look cute =p , thats what i did. Or Just go shopping with your friends. They might be the same way you are, like they might be afraid to ask their moms too. Its normal to wear a thong .. It doesnt mean you want to show it off or act sexy. I think they are way more comfy than reg. underwear and they dont show the lines. [ HCOBABI's advice column | Ask HCOBABI A Question ]
confusedbabii answered Tuesday June 20 2006, 12:49 pm: my mom found out when i was 13 and she didnt really care
you can either go with your friends, and even if they don't wear them, they're most likely going to start sooner or later, so why not now?
but if you want to go with your mom, ask her to take you shopping and bring it up on the way to the store/mall. and then if she like flips out about it, which she shouldnt, come up with an excuse like "i don't want my underwear line showing" or something along those lines.
Tulipg17 answered Tuesday June 20 2006, 12:24 pm: There really is no reason for a fourteen year old to be wearing thongs. If you have a pantyline problem, then wear boy shorts. I'm serious, they don't really serve a specifi purpose for your age group other then to look sexy, and you really don't need that yet. [ Tulipg17's advice column | Ask Tulipg17 A Question ]
queenhearts answered Tuesday June 20 2006, 12:24 pm: Maybe you should start asking for bikini underwear and work your way up to a thong. She might think you're too young to wear them. So start off slow.
Well I've heard of girls going out and buying them, washing them in the bathroom or something.
You should say your friend wears a thong, to start a conversation, just to find out your mom's opinion of it. If it's not good, then you know you have to wait or get them yourself.
If it's good you can ask when you can start wearing them or something.
tRuEe_lOve answered Tuesday June 20 2006, 12:22 pm: my friend had the same problem, she bought the thongs w/o her mom knowing & she used to wash them in like the bath tub, haha.. but yeah i think you should tell her, just say its a piece of underwear, & its not that much of a big deal, say you wont wear it like some girls do & make them show.. but i wouldnt go buying them with your friends without your moms premission because eventually your mom will find out & lose trust & then she wouldnt want you having them at all, so i would just ask her.
