A
G-string is a type of
thong, a narrow piece of cloth,
leather, or
plastic, that covers or holds the
genitals, passes between the
buttocks, and is attached to a band around the
hips. A G-string can be both worn by men and women. It may also be worn in
swimwear, where it may serve as a
bikini bottom, but may be worn alone as a
monokini or topless swimsuit. G-strings may also be worn by
exotic or
go-go dancers. As underwear, a G-string may be worn in preference to
panties to avoid creation of a visible
panty line, or to
briefs in order to enhance sex-appeal.
