Thongs and silk underwear both generate plenty of questions—especially from US & European consumers who prioritize comfort + style + function. Here’s a detailed FAQ tailored for you, focusing on silk thongs from FEELITS and broader best-practices.
Are Thongs Comfortable? Will You Even Get Used to Them?
Many women are comfortable wearing thongs once the fit and fabric are right. Fabric matters a lot: avoid rough elastics or scratchy synthetics.
One Reddit user said:
“If the thong is made from the right fabric and fits properly, you won’t know it’s there.”
For a silk thong: you want a smooth waistband/back strap, the right rise (low vs mid), and quality silk with some gusset comfort. FEELITS’ lines emphasise “invisible under fitted clothes” and “premium mulberry silk”.
Is Silk Really Better Than Cotton or Synthetics for a Thong?
Yes—silk has several advantages: smoother surface (less friction), helps regulate temperature, is breathable and gentle on skin.
In tight outfits (popular in US/Europe), silk minimises outlines, bunching or sagging common with heavier fabrics.
If you have sensitive skin, silk’s hypoallergenic nature is a plus.
That said: cotton still has its place (especially for daily heavy use or cotton-gusset preference). Consider having both “sporty cotton” and “special silk” in your wardrobe.
Can Thongs Cause Health Issues Like Infection or Irritation?
While wearing thongs isn’t inherently unsafe, there are risks if fit/fabric are poor. Friction from thin strings can lead to irritation or potential issues.
For silk thongs, the benefits (breathability, low friction) help mitigate some risk—but you still must choose proper size and fabric.
Hygiene matters: change underwear regularly, avoid wearing the same thong all day in sweat-heavy/active situations.
If you experience recurring irritation or infection, you may want to switch to wider-back style or cotton gusset.
How Do I Choose Size, Style & Colour of the Silk Thong?
Size: Silk has less stretch than some synthetics. Some brands (including FEELITS) recommend sizing up or checking fit carefully.
Style:
-
Low-rise for high-waisted jeans/cleavage dresses.
-
Mid-rise for more coverage or comfort.
-
Adjustable waistbands give extra flexibility.
Colour: Neutral tones (nude, black, white) are evergreen. Also trending are richer tones or metallics (champagne gold, pastel) for evenings.
Gusset/lining: Some users prefer a cotton gusset but many silk thongs now have double-layer silk gusset.
Use case: If you plan to wear under tight dresses or for travel, emphasise “seamless”, “invisible”, “anti-VPL”.
How to Care for Your Silk Thongs So They Last
Hand wash or delicate cycle with a silk-safe detergent. Avoid bleach or fabric softeners.
Use lukewarm water, don’t wring or twist; gently squeeze water out and lay flat or hang to dry in shade.
Avoid high heat, tumble-dry or ironing on high.
Store in a clean drawer; avoid contact with rough materials, metal hooks, velcro that might snag silk.
Rotate: have 2-3 in rotation so you don’t wear the same pair too long without washing—especially after workout/sweat.
With good care, your silk thongs remain smooth, durable, and maintain their appearance/feel.
Conclusion:
With the right fit, fabric and care, a silk thong is not just a fancy purchase—it’s a smart upgrade to your everyday lingerie arsenal. Particularly in US & European markets where tight-fitting clothing, travel and comfort are major trends, choosing a high-quality silk thong from FEELITS can give you confidence, elevate your outfit and make you feel luxurious—without compromising practicality.
