So no-one likes a VPL. Or, at the very least, we will do our best to avoid it. But, when it's the day before laundry day (Sunday, obvs) and all you've got left are your biggest, baggiest pair of undies, who really cares anyway?!
Well, clearly the people who invented the C-string do. Yep, it's a thing and we first heard about it in 2014. But, after a stint under the radar, the C-string might finally be making it big time.
The C-string is basically a thin piece of wire with fabric around it that can be moulded to fit the shape of your crotch. It's a sanitary towel/thong hybrid.
It looks like this…
C-strings are sold online at cstringdirect.com and they now come in a variety of colours and materials, including lace and polkadots. And it seems that they're pretty popular.
One owner left a review saying:
'A girlfriend got me to try the C String last year. At first, I wore it just around our house, then under my jeans when going out. It's quite comfortable, I'd say more so than my thongs, even while sitting through hours-long boring college lectures. In fact, you can easily forget you even have it on!
'The real test was a month later at the beach on vacation overseas. I admit at first I was dreadfully insecure at the thought of it falling off while walking around without me noticing and leaving me totally nude (it was a topless beach).
'But it didn't and provided me with some necessary modesty down there. But I do have to admit it was kind of fun watching some of the guys do a double-take but not getting to see what they wanted.'
