Having just spent two different trips to the beach this summer, one in San Diego and one in Florida, I’d say the number of thongs is around 80%. Nearly every woman under 40 has their buns out, and probably half of women 40-60. I saw a mother with two daughters. She must’ve been 60 and the daughters in their thirties because they had kids too. All three ladies wearing thongs.
It’s so common these days but for those of us who grew up with it not being the norm it’s quite a lovely trend.
My wife does not wear a thong. She wears cheeky bottoms that ride halfway up her cheeks. She always has. Twenty years ago, she was one of the more risqué ladies at the beach, now she’s one of the more covered. She says it’s just a comfort thing not a modesty thing. She’s gone to the nude beach before no problem but at a regular beach she just prefers the feel of cheeky bottoms as opposed to the thong wedgie.
The combination of social media and this trend has allowed me to see the butts of many women I know. Former coworkers, friends girlfriends, wife’s friends, etc… nearly all wear these and feel the need to share on instagram. I’m not complaining.
