Since 1907, when Australian swimmer and star Annette Kellerman was charged with indecent exposure for wearing a sleeveless, formfitting tank suit on Boston’s Revere Beach, things have changed. By the 1950’s, the two piece bikini has become mainstream and by the 1970’s, bikinis were leaving little to the imagination, a development that also paralleled women’s freedom of self-expression and ushered in the the sexual revolution. A few decades later, thongs stole the show, and then came the micro thongs. It seems we are presently witnessing the end of the miniaturization of underwear.
The Micro Thong Defined
Micro Thongs are a miniature version of normal thongs. A thong is an underwear that looks like any normal underwear in front but offers little to no cover behind. As the bikini industry developed and women became braver, less and less material went into the making of bikinis, and even less materials for thongs specifically. From the back, a thong can be classified as either a normal thong, a G-string, T-back, V-string and C-string. The amount of material on the front side, on the other hand, determines if the thong is a normal thong, a mini thong or a micro thong.
A normal thong covers as much of the front side as possible.
A mini thong covers the mons-pubis including the labia.
A micro thong covers just the labia-majora, but leaves the mons-pubis and other areas exposed.
The Allure of Micro Thongs
Micro thongs are simply beautiful to behold on a woman. Yes, many variations of thongs have been tried, but still nothing compares to a T-back style micro thong. It is the climax of lingerie design, a classic that may never again be topped. While the mini thong carefully covers the pubic area, the micro thong offers a little insight, just a little, but enough to spark any man’s imagination awake and hook him. Obviously, the micro thong is truly a wicked invention that should never be found missing from any romantically active woman’s wardrobe.
How Micro-thongs Gained Popularity
The earliest reported use of micro thongs in the United States was in the 1970’s, in Venice Beach, California. In order to counter a new legislation that banned nudity on the beach, the beach regulars started making strips of clothing which were very minimalist. They quickly gained local popularity, and after a while, a local bikini maker decided to take the minimalist micro thong designs to market.
The micro thong has also been said to originate from the beaches of Brazil, the great Copacabana of Rio de Janeiro, to be specific. Here, sunbathers have been known to fold in their thongs, making them smaller or thinner, and exposing more skin in the process, in order to get the best tan possible. With time, a new micro thong trend developed in Rio, which gave the sun-bathing ladies maximum exposure, and this trend continued to spread.
At this point, it should be obvious how very difficult it is to pinpoint the earliest use of the micro thong, but what we know for sure is that the micro thong was made internationally popular by various porn actresses who wore them in their numerous videos.
Micro Thongs vs Mini Thongs
A mini thong may be considered more decent than a micro thong, but that is exactly also the power of the micro thong, it is subtly provocative. This subtle provocation can go quite a long way. A micro thong is therefore a necessary item in the wardrobe of any modern woman who desires romantic male attention, at least from time to time. Mini thongs can be worm on a wider variety of occasions like with family etc., but the micro thong is more for romantic situations, or at least in an adult setting, and still it trumps in its effectiveness in seduction.
Micro Thongs vs C-strings & Strapless Panties
C-strings and self-adhesive strapless panties are cute, but somehow look unnatural. Sure, they fulfill their purpose of functioning as invisible panties, but they simply do not offer as much romantic and erotic excitement as does the micro thong.
The Micro Thong vs The Teardrop
The teardrop thong is a great innovation, but its features seem to be contrary to the natural contours of a woman’s body. Although the teardrop thong covers the labia-majora perfectly, it then extends upwards towards the navel in a narrowing manner. This is exactly the opposite of the natural widening of a woman’s hips. The beauty of micro thongs is that their strings follow the natural contours of the wearer’s hips, while gently stoking the amorous flames of the male of the species.
The future of Sexy Lingerie
It will be difficult for any other type of underwear to prove more alluring and romantically effective than the micro thong, today and even in the future. The micro thong just seems to have that perfect mix between baring it all and covering it up. It is very revealing and therefore quite erotic, and yet it conceals the most intimate parts, allowing the imagination to fill in the rest of the picture.
In such a heightened state of authentic appreciation of feminine nature, with the eyes following the strings of the thong into the forbidden area of pleasure, the male libido swings to life. And as the seconds and minutes pass by, the male desire to conquer the forbidden garden will only grow, made stronger by the fact that he can almost see it all. At some point, this desire may even overpower his own will power and he may completely loose himself to her. It is in such a state, when maintained long enough by a cunningly seductive woman, that many men have fallen captive to love.
The future of sexy lingerie is already here and it starts with the micro thong. Anything more revealing breaks the spell. And anything less revealing will not be as effective. The micro thong is, therefore, the perfect sexy tool to tease any man into submission. In fact, it makes the playful art of teasing a man almost too easy.
The question now remains if today’s woman will be brave enough to slip on a micro thong and then, make him beg.
I live in a small Georgia town that you most likely have never heard of and I LOVE it! My house is more than full as I am a single mother of four & caregiver to my aging mother and uncle. Lover of all things Outlander. Goes to the beat of her own drum woman.
