This ribbed thong is the quiet one you reach for when you want texture instead of a print. A clear vertical rib runs through the front panel, and the sides are little more than thin straps, so there is almost nothing at the hip. You'd wear it as everyday underwear under close clothes, or on its own around the house when you don't want hardware, charms or a loud pattern getting in the way.
A lot of thongs try to earn their place with a charm, a ring or a printed panel. This ribbed thong does none of that. The rib is the whole design, and the sides are reduced to straps, which is why it looks like a basic rather than a statement. That is also the limit: there is very little fabric, and no wide band. If you want a decorative thong, look at the rhinestone styles instead. If you want texture and a small amount of fabric under your clothes, you are buying this one.
It sits low with a small triangular front and very thin straps, so coverage is minimal and the rise is below the waist. Compare your measurements to our size chart before you order, and if you're between sizes, size up. Fit shifts a little with torso length, and that extra bit of room tends to sit better than going too snug.
It's made from polyester, which is what gives the rib that slightly structured, close finish against you. We'd suggest a gentle hand wash in cool water and laying it flat to dry, away from direct heat, which keeps the shape and finish intact for longer. Wash it inside out so the rib on your pair stays even, and check the care label on the garment you receive.
It's a quiet piece, which is the appeal - you put it on because you wanted a rib you can feel under your hand, not because you needed another printed brief.
What size ribbed thong should I order if I am between sizes?
Take the larger size. The front is small and the straps are thin, so a little extra room tends to sit better on you than a size that pulls.
What is it made from?
It's made from polyester. We're not given a percentage breakdown, so we won't guess one for you.
Does it come in more than one colour?
Yes - a light version and a dark version, so you can choose the one that sits under what you are wearing.
