C-String

Before we even discuss companies, brands, styles and preferences, it is most likely true that many people do not know what a C-string looks like. They probably could not describe it and most likely do not know that it is a type of “lingerie or swimwear” that one wears on the bottom. And please use the word lingerie lightly because to be exact, the C-string is a fabric covered wire worn between the legs. Shaped in the form of a C, the item goes between the legs starting at the front of the pelvic area and going to the small of the back curved up against the body.

The obvious benefits to this lingerie invention are no panty lines and no tan lines. And everybody seems to be taking credit for this invention, as there are many brands on the market including the more appealing Strapless G-String.

CStringDirect.com – Although, there is no mention of the creator or any reference to the history of the product, the story goes that a man designed this version and had his wife try the item until it was ready for resale. The site displays ten different styles in solid colors and patterns with matching triangle and halter tops. Apparently the c-strings come in two sizes, small and medium, according to the wearer’s weight. They can be worn under jeans, skirts and dresses or alone as lingerie or swimwear.

ShibueCouture.com – The strapless g-string was designed by a woman who wanted to eliminate the bulges and lines under the bridesmaid dress that she was wearing for her sister’s wedding. Now, she promotes the product heavily as bridal wear. Actually when perusing the website, it seems like her different styles are more of an upper end item as the g-strings are quite pretty with the lace or sequin embellishments matching the camisoles.

It is evident that a woman designed the strapless g-string, as the details in construction are focused on a woman’s needs and fears of wearing something so scant. One thing women want is to feel fresh and clean so the Shibue g-string is made with a liner and the panties themselves are easily washable. The other fear of women is that the g-string might fall off so special adhesive strips are strategically placed on the body keeping the g-string intact. The panties are wire-free and are soft to the touch.

It is recommended that when choosing the correct size, the wearer measure from the top of the pubic bone to the top of the tailbone then choose x-small, small, medium, or large according to the number of inches. Made of elastine and poly, the panties will last provided the proper care is used when washing.

Indeed, the strapless g-string was “designed for women who prefer total freedom from binding, unflattering panty lines while feeling sexy at the same time”.
