I don't get why women think thongs are "inappropriate." I can't stand the feel of underwear and thongs are a happy solution for me. Besides, who sees them, except you and maybe a significant other? Nice underwear is a secret indulgence many people have and no one has to know!
I'm probably the wrong person to comment on this topic, because my philosophy is, if you can afford it, buy it. Life is too short.
