I have been a wearer of thong panties forever! However, I gained a tremendous amount of weight in the past year due to perimenopause and I get hot and have hot flashes and night sweats all night long. I needed a comfortable panty that didn't ride up and around on my body and stayed in place to wear with my t-shirts to sleep in. These are perfect! Super comfortable and light and don't creep up on you or ride up or bunch around the waist. Definitely don't look great  under a pair of tight jeans but that isn't why I bought them. I have worn them under loose fitting pants and shorts and I love them.
