THONGS ARE BAD FOR YOU

They may be good for getting rid of unsightly visible panty lines - but German experts are warning G-strings are bad for women's health.

They are even calling for the wispy knickers to be banned, following an "enormous" increase in patients suffering genital inflammation.

Dr Thomas Gent, of the Association of Gynaecologists in Hamburg, told the Sun that "friction" caused by the string section is behind it all.

"G-strings can abrade and injure the sensitive skin around the genital area - especially if they are too tight or made with badly stitched material," he said.

He added the harm caused "can aid the spread of bacteria and cause fungal infections".

But British women are increasingly following the example of Bridget Jones - and plumping for bigger knickers.

A spokesman for high street retailer H&M said: "The trend is turning to comfortable hot-pants and slips."

Gals, they are worth the risks!

Oh yeah?....:)

[pissant]

WOW. That's hot!

[Conservatrix]

Why bother wearing these stupid things at all? I would rather wear nothing... (I mean pretty much IS nothing)....

That works too!

There's always a down side, but let's count the numerous benefits, shall we? Sounds like the making of a new thread there, pissant.

[pissant]

I'll see what I can do, and not get banned again!

All I needed was to read the title of the thread to know who posted this! ;-)

Wow, just one syllable away from a great one liner.

[WhiteGuy]

Why'd they ban a good and upright citizen like you?

[pissant]

They didn't say anything about men's thongs. You may be OK. ;o)

[pissant]

LOL

[Salamander]

Oh brother......;))

[pissant]

It would require it's own thread. But we can cram a few benefits here as well....

[nevergore]

Forget thongs...go commando like me...

Banned? A bit of an overreaction isn't it?

Seriously though, I've always thought thongs to be a bit unhygenic. Without going into detail, you ever see what a thong looks like after a woman has been wearing it all day? There ain't nothing sexy about that!

I went to Black's Beach when I was out there in California.
