• Thong vs. G-string
The word "G-string" is often used interchangeably with the word "thong". However, the G-string is only one form of the thong. The normal association of the difference between a G-string and a thong is the width of the back section that passes between the wearer's buttocks, the string being more string like and narrower. Like the thong, the G-string is essentially a bottom-covering that covers the pubis and leaves the buttocks bared. The term G-string is generally used when the vertical strap in the rear of a G-string is no wider than a string. In Australia, the term G-string is usually used to refer to any garments in this style, while the term thong usually refers to a kind of rubber sandal.
According to the Encyclopedia of Clothing and Fashion "The G-string, or thong, a panty front with a half- to one-inch strip of fabric at the back that sits between the buttocks", and Knickers: a Brief History says: "Minor tweaks to the cut earned these skimpy panties different titles-—from the thong, which has a one-inch strip of fabric down AVPL is the underwear the back, to a G-string, which, as the name equivalent of Spanish suggests (hilo dental), is more like a string of fabric akin between the teeth." Striptease: the Untold History of the Girlie Show says: "The thong an undergarment derived from the stripper's G-string", and according to Americanisms: the Illustrated Book of Words Made in the USA a G-string is "a thong panty consisting of a small triangular piece of fabric supported by two elastic straps. Attributed to strippers circa 1936". The Heinemann English Dictionary defines "thong" as "a pair of underpants or swimming costume in a very skimpy style like a G-string". In an article in The Guardian, Chris Alden writes that "the thong wasn't always so popular: in the old days it used to be called the G-string".
