<p>As I said, my daughter wears thongs most days. One day she was dressed in a demin skirt that was on the shorter side; still within her high schools dress code, so really not short, but not knee length. She was upstairs and I call up to her from downstairs; I couldn’t hear her response, so I asked her to come to the top of the stairs. When I looked up-well you know what I saw! I had to explain to her when she was walking up and down stairs at school, anyone could see what I just saw :-0 Again, there will be no panty lines in a denim skirt, so a regular pair of pants would do.</p>
<p>I know this thread was really supposed to be about changes/growing up freshman year. But when I read the title all I could think was…Big Deal. I’m looking at a (definitely not clean) cup on my foyer table. And its been there for 2 days. With nagging reminders. In fact, with the number of cups in plain sight the house (sorry, no experience with daughters), a clean thong strikes me as ho-hum :D.</p>
<p>One year D’s dance company director decided that the girls should wear thongs under their costumes (rather than just the black fishnets) for modesty purposes. D was in 6th grade but some company members were as young as 4th grade. We all went to Target and bought the teeniest black thongs we could find for our Ds.</p>
<p>Clean thong on the kitchen counter - big deal. We have four cats and I can’t begin to tell you what we find left around our house!</p>
<p>oh this is a good thread title!</p>
<p>I too, redeemed my VS free panty coupon one day and received something that resembled three strings with a microscopic triangle where they joined. Brought it home, and somehow, it “disappeared”. Hmmmm…I just hope it’s not hanging on someone’s rear view mirror.</p>
<p>I can’t speak from personal experience (OK, I wouldn’t tell you anyway if it was personal experience), but I understand from what I have HEARD during the summer they are much cooler. ;)</p>
<p>And, if you think the kitchen counter is interesting, in the ‘best things left at after-prom party’ category…the list that was sent to 300 parents last week went like this (sort of toney all girls HS also)</p>
<p>1 Boston College Sweatshirt
1 Silver Bowtie
1 pair lacrosse shorts
blah blah more boring stuff
1 ‘body by victoria’ nude bra with blue and white striped panty
1 disposable Fujifilm camera</p>
<p>OK…this leads to some questions. Develop the film? who had the guts to claim said items?</p>
<p>Gee – did the list mention the size of the bra? It might be mine. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>I can’t stand the whole idea of thongs. Ever since they got popular, I find myself being “mooned” at sports games, on airplanes and anywhere else women bend over. </p>
<p>To the OP-thanks for starting this thread. I have been laughing since I read the title.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Me too. I have to catch myself from using that word to refer to flip-flops, to avoid exactly that kind of embarrassment!</p>
<p>Be thankful she wears underwear? :rolleyes: (Do you think she was trying to tell you something?)</p>
<p>And to think, when I saw the title of the thread, I thought maybe it was going to be full of suggestions of what us empty-nesters have to look forward to in the fall!!!</p>
<p>How come we aren’t getting risque underwear ads in the margins around this thread like we did when we had a similar discussion before? We jot bizarre jock strap ads then, complete with feathers and such, if memory serves me correctly (and I am trying my darndest to forget)</p>
<p>laxmom, ROFL. DS1 has been out of college for a year now but my most vivid memory of his move-in day freshman year was when a female classmate got out of a taxi and then reached back inside for her luggage, exposing her preference for thongs as well as herself.</p>
<p>i think it helps with jeans too, vpl is prevalent in jeans , sadly enough</p>
<p>Do you wear underwear when wearing exercise clothes? Is does the clothing serve multiple purposes?</p>
<p>I thought this thread was going to be about parents of a son finding a thong on their kitchen counter after parents were gone for the night or weekend. The real version is much tamer!</p>
<p>D switched to thongs when she began playing volleyball, and heaven forbid she have any unsightly panty lines under those spandex shorts. Now she just likes them better.</p>
<p>archiemom, I’m hoping you are talking about empty coffee cups…</p>
<p>As the mom of two daughters, and seeing them and friends over the last few years, and working with younger co-workers - it’s pretty common for someone to see more than they want when people bend and reach. I find it a total turn-off, but perhaps young men think differently…
Worst view was at parent orientation. Lady (normal college-mom sized, not model thin) in the row ahead of me had on fancy outfit. Had on thong undies beneath the capri pants and fancy jacket. Pants evidently slid more easily than she realized when she sat, and a large teritory was exposed. Thought about trying to jam the program into the gap in her folding chair but decided it was better to just position my program so I didn’t have to see.<br>
This just came to me - if I had been a typical college student today her cheeks would have been on youtube before the first speaker finished.</p>
<p>Thongs are literally a pain in the ass! For avoiding the dreaded panty line, I much prefer those “boy shorts”. What a great invention.</p>
<p>Food surfaces and below-the-belt undies should never come in contact . Nuff said.</p>
