Would You Let Your Teenage Daughter Wear a Thong?

When you are the parent of a teenage girl, it can be hard to know when to bite your tongue and when to put your foot down in regards to the teenage fashion items they choose to wear.  Those strapless or backless dresses they love to wear to the prom might not be your cup of tea, but if the skirt is long enough and nothing is showing, you may feel that it is okay to just sit silent. 

 

However, one place parents have a hard time knowing when to draw the line with is with slip underwear – the infamous ‘thong’.  Should you let your teenage girl wear a thong every once in a while, or should you absolutely forbid it?

 

If your teenage girl is planning to wear thong underwear, or if you catch her wearing it, it is definitely time for you two to do some talking.  While underwear choice may be more about style or comfort and less about what your teenage girl is doing when you aren’t around, you should still talk to your daughter to make sure she is aware of all the pros and cons. 

 

For instance, low rise pants and jeans are all the rage with teens right now, which means that there is a good chance your daughter’s underwear will be highly visible when she bends over.  The question you really need to ask yourself is whether you are comfortable with whoever is behind your teenage girl knowing that she is wearing thong underwear

 

On the other hand, if her prom dress is made of fine material and bulky ‘girl panties’ would create a very obvious shape beneath it, a thong can actually be a great choice as it eliminates the dreaded ‘VPL’ or Visible Pantyline.  in this case wearing a thong will have the opposite effect – those around your daughter will be looking at the dress, rather than staring at your daughter’s pantyline.

 

Your teenage girl is bound to make some bold fashion choices that you wish she didn’t, and knowing where you want to draw the line is entirely up to you.  Keep in mind your daughter’s general fashion style and whether or not thong underwear would be visible, and you will have an easier time determining if you are comfortable with her wearing a thong or not.
