Would you want to know if your 13 or 14 y.o. DD was giving her underwear to boys?

ok, not really, but I think thongs are neat in their own way, just like some men prefer boxers over briefs!

LOL!

I don't think 14/15 is old enough to decide what they can wear completely by themselves. Personally, my young teen won't wear them unless they serve a purpose (ie. pantylines). I don't see any other purpose to wear them other than sexual. That would concern me if my young teen wanted to wear thongs, especially if she bought them on the sly without me. I'm not saying it automatically means she is a slut, but I think it means she may be entering into sexuality and we would definitely have a talk about that.

Not that it's any of your business, but she doesn't wear them on a regular basis. And I am assuming those same health risks apply to adults who wear them as well, right?

you sort of made it everyones business when you told 60,000 disers that she wears thongs..LOL

Probably about the same. Whether you love them or hate them, thongs are causing problems though. Doctors, especially OB-GYNs, tell us their offices are now crowded with patients suffering from nasty v and u tract infections.


Thongs can actually even sometimes give you a risk factor for infertility because if you have bacterial infections for a long period of time, what we've found is bacterial v@#$% can ascend up into the u and the tubes and cause scarring and blockage.

I think wearing a thong is no different from normal panties (as far as infection is concerned), being that you are a young man you probably don't realize how they fit but the general (for lack of a better word) crotch area is about the same as normal panties so I don't see how they can cause more problems than normal panties. If you are wearing super tight thongs constantly and never let your hoohah have a breather than I could see it causing a problem but that could go for normal panties as well. I remember a warning awhile back about not sleeping in your panties because of the same issues but that eventually was proven silly.

I'm glad you are so concerned about the hoohah health of women though Mickey.

I'm not going to get into a debate here about this. But you're right...I did post that she wore them because I was trying to make a point. I shouldn't have.

She does not completely decide what she wears, however, she has good judgment. And at 14 or 15 (she will be 16 in April) they are sexual beings. She didn't buy them "on the sly". She bought them while shopping with her friends (which she does on occasion) and didn't think she needed to ask permission (which she didn't). If she were truly being sneaky, she certainly wouldn't have put them in the regular laundry for me to wash. She does do her own laundry from time to time and easily could have hidden them. And of course, I have talked to her at length about sex (and why she chose to buy them) and was satisfied that her reply was a healthy and appropriate one.

Let me just ask you all to keep an open mind about kids because much of what you've said, I probably felt at one time until my kids became the age.

My 13 year old daughter wears thongs. I've bought them for her at Victoria's Secret. Very pretty ones, too. She wants to wear them because her friends wear them. She thinks they're comfortable, too.

Wearing them is one thing, sharing them is something else.

 

[CamColt]

While I have no problem with a 14 year old wearing whatever underwear they want(IMO thongs are more comfortable than regular underwear), a girl giving away any kind of underwear, or a boy accepting any kind is when I start the .

So yeah, if it were my DD, which I have none,I would want to know, as I would if it were my DS getting them.

 

[MosMom]

I just know I've sprouted a few new grey hairs during this conversation

 

[Lewski709]

Better to be wearing thongs than not wearing undies at all, isn't it?

But thanks for the info, Mickey88!

My DD will be 15 on Saturday, she has both thongs & bikini panties and I bought them all for her. She wears thongs the most though. Some of them have neat little designs on them, we actually have fun picking them out. She is not "slutty" or "easy" and the only ones who know that she is wearing them are us (and maybe a few close girl friends.) The do not stick out of her jeans even though her jeans are low cut. She certainly is not giving them away to boys!!! Some of the comments made by moms of young girls on this board should be saved and shown to them when their daughters are teens - they may be surprised how they attitudes have changed as theirs daughters grow up. When the subject of thongs first came up in our house I was against them, then I thought about it and figured who really knows what kind of underwear other people are wearing so what difference does it make? If my 20 year old DS had received a thong from a girl when he was 14 or 15 we would have just laughed about it. I am sure it would have been more embarassing for you DS to say "no thank you, I don't really want your thong" than it was for him just to take it and stuff it in a drawer at home.

 

[JoNo]

I think everyone should wear a thong... then the kids of today would go back to old-school underwear. Sound like a plan?

Very good point, Timeforme.

MosMom~ As for the "hoohah" comment, I'm

I just wanted to add that this whole underwear issue reminded me of the scene from "16 Candles" when Molly Ringwald gave her underwear to the geeky kid.

 

[mom2boys]

hoohah

Never heard that termology used before Thanks for the laugh.


I have boys - even at 8.5 & 10 they are dealing with aggressive girls. They are not interested - YET

 

[AirForceRocks]

I would definitely want to know if my DD were giving away her underwear, thong or not.

And to what has developed as a secondary issue on this thread, I personally don't see the big deal about a girl, even a young one, wearing a thong. There was a time when I would have said "No way" to my DD wearing one, but the more I think about it...I mean really, what difference does it make? Don't we buy nice panties and lacy bras, etc? And I doubt that it is just so that we can look nice for our SO's...it's because such things make us feel pretty as well. If our DDs get that same feeling from wearing thongs, so what? Assuming of course, that they are keeping them on and not giving them away.

Now, if DS comes home and wants to wear a thong...then we'll have issues, I'm sure!

 

[gina2000]

Thongs don't bother me though I think they look unsightly peeking out of a pair of low riding jeans.

Thongs bother me when they are handed to a member of the opposite sex with intent. Since we're not sure what the intent was, I guess we'll have to guess....

If it were in fun, I guess I'd be ruffled but not livid.

If it were with sexy intent, I'd have a hissy fit.

Since he saved them, what does that mean to him? Was he too embarrassed to dispose of them? Or did he love having them?

Scary thoughts.

I'd probably just sit down with him and discuss birth control, intent and purpose as far as women are concerned. I'd die privately, that's for sure. But I guess I'd rather he be prepared.

Would I want to know if I were the mother of the young lady? Sure....but again....what's the intent?

wow..haven't been called young in years......

just sharing what I've read from numerous sources..they explain that they do not in fact fit the same way...

 

[MosMom]

I think 14 year olds are far more sexual these days...my 14 year old step brother and his pals were caught web camming their genitals and emailing the pictures to the girls in town. The girls were doing the same so I wouldn't assume it is harmless. My dad calls him Long Dong Silver at family gatherings and printed out one of the pics and hung it on the fridge. I think the embarrassment alone has curbed his behavior. Maybe that is why I was such a good young person...I knew what my dad was capable of. LOL

Are you kidding? I am SURE he LOVED having them, to show all his friends. I got these panties, doesn't really matter whose they were.
