Wrong on so many levels - primarily it's the cold back and potential for thrush that puts me off wasting £268 of my hard earned cash on it.

I like the colour

A thong is the M25 of bacterial highway .

PurpleDaisies · 03/11/2021 13:35

Gosh.

There are no words.

I can’t wear a bra with that ….wool isnt going to hold anything in place …and the itch

And then I saw the price

Mercurial123 · 03/11/2021 13:36

It's very impractical but I quite like it. I have merino knickers for cold weather they are really nice. Though not thongs....

GameofPhones · 03/11/2021 13:40

Looks as though designed to be a torture garment.

A cool woollen wash isn't really going to do the job is it?

Tal45 · 03/11/2021 13:43

Well it looks lovely on the gorgeous model. Would look like a warmer version of a mankini on me.

Mermaidwaves · 03/11/2021 13:44

Imagine how damp the thong bit would get Confused

Gingernaut · 03/11/2021 13:44

Imagine the wardrobe mistress.

Were you the model wearing the knitted thong sweater? Keep it, dahling.

Thepennysjustdropped · 03/11/2021 13:46

You've got to laugh, eh?

TangledUp789 · 03/11/2021 13:53

It’s not something I would ever buy, but I think I’m missing exactly what’s so shocking about it? It’s just a knitted bodysuit… It looks good on the model.

CaMePlaitPas · 03/11/2021 14:09

And the price of it!!

Mercurial123 · 03/11/2021 14:11

It's not a thong just high cut. I still like it.

It says thong...

What fresh Hell is this??
Bavarois · 03/11/2021 14:15

It's a bodysuit, not underwear. You'd wear pants with it. It's a bit bizarre and I wouldn't buy it (not at that price anyway) but I'd hardly say it's worthy of incredulity.

PurpleDaisies · 03/11/2021 14:22

If you’re wearing pants as well, it would be a bit hot down there. Pants, wooly pants over the top, jeans over that. Sounds like a recipe for a yeast infection.

If it has a cotton gusset you don’t wear pants with it.

If it doesn’t then yes, yeast city

'Dry clean only'!!!

SirSidneyRuffDiamond · 03/11/2021 14:36

This is the back view as shown on the US website. I'm not sure what undies you could fit under there and I'm itching just looking at it.

The front view doesn't really make it look more comfortable either.
