I've been buying and wearing these thongs for years now - they are seriously the best underwear on earth. They are the absolute most comfortable underwear I've ever worn - the lace is so soft and they fit perfectly. Yes they are pricey - but worth every penny and if you don't put them in the dryer (do not put them in the dryer or the elastic wears out and they don't fit snugly anymore)they last forever. I hardly wear anything else.
