We have all heard of throw back Thursday. Well today we are celebrating the thong with a little history.
Did you know that a man was responsible for the invention of our current style of the thong? Former New York mayor Fiorello LaGuardia was angry because the city's nude dancers were exposing too much skin, so the thong was created to provide them with a little more coverage --and it was no coincidence that it was just before the Big Apple hosted the World's Fair.
But the thong has a longer history then that!
* 42000 BC: The ancient thong didnโt look quite like it does today โ worn by hunter-gatherers throughout Asia, Africa, and Europe, some were made from the fur, feathers, and skins of their prey.
*200 BC: The skimpiness of the thong is appealing not for its aesthetics but for its functionality โ Japanese swimmers and sumo wrestlers don the garment, called fundoshi.
*1939: ๐๐ก๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐จ๐ง๐ ๐๐ฌ ๐ฐ๐ ๐ค๐ง๐จ๐ฐ ๐ข๐ญ ๐ข๐ฌ ๐๐จ๐ซ๐ง! ๐๐ก๐ ๐๐จ๐ง๐ญ๐๐ฆ๐ฉ๐จ๐ซ๐๐ซ๐ฒ ๐ฏ๐๐ซ๐ฌ๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐จ๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐ฐ๐ก๐๐ฅ๐ ๐ญ๐๐ข๐ฅ ๐ฆ๐๐ค๐๐ฌ ๐ข๐ญ๐ฌ ๐๐๐๐ฎ๐ญ ๐๐ญ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐๐จ๐ซ๐ฅ๐โ๐ฌ ๐

*1970s: Thong underwear doesnโt really leave the strip club until designer Rudi Gernreich invents the thong bikini in 1974. A year later, theyโre sold as underwear too, but thongs show up more often on beachgoers in Brazil than in Americansโ underwear drawers.
*Early 1990s: The thong popularity grows as it goes mainstream in the U.S.โฆand itโs more practical than provocative โ at least according to manufacturers, who try to market them as a seamless undergarment meant to be worn under slim-fit pants. But not everyoneโs main concern is visible panty lines.
* And even scandals!!!...Mid-Late 1990s: Monica Lewinsky helps make โthongโ a household word โ and not for the anti-VPL factor. Lewinsky reports that she flirted with Bill Clinton by lifting the back of her suit jacket to reveal the straps of her thong underwear. But sheโs not the only one whoโs flossing โ Victoriaโs Secret holds its first public runway show, and consumers flock to its cheek-baring lingerie.
Today's thong underwear can be worn for comfort, cooling effect or even just to be sexy. No matter why you choose a thong we have you covered at www.simplyluxuriouslingerie.com
FOR A LIMITED TIME WE WILL THROW IN A THONG WITH ANY BRA PURCHASE!! At check out use the code: thong
I love the fit and feel of the thong too! I also love how you made the bikini so that it matches any bra in the same color. So many fun combinations to try.
I agree Samuel! I didnโt get the thongs but got the other three types. I like my โaโ covered, lol! They are all very smooth feeling, especially the bikini and I love the shine of the satin.
I got the free thong last week during the sale, when I treated my partner to a new bra. I also bought her a rio. I am a guy who loves the feel of soft satin so I got the thong in my size. These are incredibly sexy and comfortable. The satin shines terrifically in the mirror. When I run my hands over this material on myself and my partner, it is super exhilarating.
