A Strapless G-String? But How…?

No one can argue that SheFinds is a fan of panty lines. We've told you about Jockey's Modern Brief ($8.50), a silky-smooth, seamless underwear; the C-String which is held up by a just small wire in the back, and nude underpinnings to keep it neat under white. So you'll understand why our immediate reaction to Shibue's Strapless G-String ($25-$30) sounded something like, "Yeessss!" rather than, "Huh?"

It wasn't until we read the company's advertising of the product as being "perfect for form-fitting dresses, pole dancing, and sunbathing" that we started to wonder if we're really the kind of clientele who'd enjoy such a product. Before we talk about our experience with the uber-bizarre strapless g-string, though, let's take a little look-see at it:

A little creepy, right? Like a pretty maxipad, or the most popular panties of a magical stripper.

Here's how it works: the front and back of the panties are stuck to the body with double-sided tape (one just hopes it's super adhesive). But before you judge Shibue Couture's little oddity, check out the reported improvements in panty line exposure:

SheFinds knows that g-strings sometimes show - they escape from your jeans when you bend over, or they squeeze your lovey-dovey-handles just a wee too much, giving you two sets of hips. And in that sense, Shibue Couture has invented a smart ware for the modern woman. On the other hand, I'm wearing my strapless g-string right now, and evaluation in the mirror reveals that I look...kinda kinky, and more than a little absurd (though we imagine hubby will really dig the new skivvies).

    Yup, you tape it on. It's one piece of fabric that comes with adhesive strips - they adhere the front and back of the G-string to your skin.

    So, the "before and after" images remind the ol' cowboy of something his lovely wife spend some time pounding into his thick head....

    "If you buy clothes that fit right, panty lines are generally not a problem" Applies both to the outer and under wear.

    i think it looks scary. i'd rather not wear underwear. but could you imagine what your boyfriend/husband would say. he'd think you could do magic or something. that might be cool. i still would rather spend that money on somthing that is alot cutier to wear.

    What's the point of this??? Just go without underwear completely if you have to.

    Hmmm, I don't think I will ever try that one out. Just seems a little too strange for my taste - I would probably go commando first.
