My wife never bothered with a thong, but she usually wore to the beach an interesting and daring string affair that covered a lot less than any thong. Just a string around her waist holding up adjustable panels in front and back that she could vary the width of from 'prude' to nearly 'nude'. The top was similar: strings holding little triangles over the tips of her nipples. Seen from the side she looked naked, and from front or behind you'd see as much or as little as she wanted you to see.
