Does your 13yo dd wear thongs?

Apparently I’m unbelievably old fashioned... happy to accept that as actually it’s probably true... I’ve said they’re inappropriate, uncomfortable and unhygienic (like I know?) but am I wrong? Do “all” 13year old girls wear them?

MN towers took it down the other day and have put it back up again.

Common sense says the issue can be discussed without sharing intimate details of people children. I agree it's best not to share specifics in case it's a furry one.

No I think it's too young I'd be disappointed if she did

Callingallbutterflies · 02/08/2019 21:58

Absolutely not.

LuckyLou7 · 02/08/2019 21:58

I don't think it's the best idea to discuss teen underwear online, people will think you are a pervert fishing for wank bank material. Ask the parents of her friends.

WipeYourFeetOnTheRhythmRug · 02/08/2019 22:00

Ick.

Toomuch999 · 02/08/2019 22:03

Ok so this was not my finest moment... I’m currently staying at my mums who is not not at all well, and my dd (back at home) messaged me asking if I’d buy some items that I thought were inappropriate for her age group so I thought I’d consult the oracles... on reflection, at that time of night, I wouldn’t repeat. Yes MN HQ reviewed and, I assumed, decided I wasn’t a weirdo.
I can honestly say that everything I posted about how her peer group live is accurate, but would not apply at all to the inner city kids where I am now, where I grew up. I think she’s lucky in that respect.
Anyway, thanks for the responses, I’ve decided she can wait a bit.

Normally she’s happy in shorts but she’s requested thongs to fit in?

Hmm

Yeah that sounds legit.

DramaAlpaca · 02/08/2019 22:08

Fair play for coming back & explaining, OP. It was posting about that subject late at night that made me suspicious. Hope you weren't upset by the reports & that your mum is feeling better soon.

LolaSmiles · 02/08/2019 22:15

Fair play OP.

If it's just to fit in then that's the wrong reason to want to wear them and I'd understand wanting to delay it a little.

Toomuch999 · 02/08/2019 22:18

No it’s ok @DramaAlpaca, it was a surprise at first but when I read my OP back I could see why it rang bells for some, esp at that time. Appreciate your comment.

dementedpixie · 02/08/2019 22:23

Dd is 15 and wears high leg pants. She has never asked for thongs

MonChatEstMagnifique · 02/08/2019 22:31

Even if OP is not a 'weirdo', please do not post about your child's underwear on the Internet, your kids won't appreciate it......I can't believe adults need to be told that......our kids our so clued up on e safety, I think some adults could do with a few lessons in it. Angry

Marilynmansonsthermos · 02/08/2019 22:44

Well said monchat

pauline987 · 02/08/2019 22:51

I have worn thongs since around that age. I wouldn't wear anything else. I find them so much more comfortable than other knickers

There is far far far too much material for me on other knickers.

Can I ask why you find them unhygienic and inappropriate? (Not having a go or anything, I'm genuinely curious)
