“Within millennial and Generation Y consumer groups, it’s considered cool to be wearing full-bottom underwear,” said Bernadette Kissane, an apparel analyst at the market intelligence firm Euromonitor. “Thongs have had their moment.”

Data provided by the research company NPD Group back her up. Sales of thongs decreased 7 percent over the last year, while sales of fuller styles — briefs, boy shorts and high-waist briefs — have grown a collective 17 percent.

And if seducing a man isn’t the goal, it can be a welcome side effect.

I love that these NYC self absorbed hipsters think that wearing full underwear is totally "feminist".

Unless you have a nice, tight bum thongs don't look good anyway. Granny panties are not the way to go either. Next thing you know they'll be growing winter bush year round.

For general purposes, boy-cut shorts are best undies out there.

Ex.

But, I have to say, a thong is just more comfortable once you get used to it. I hate the feeling of a panty line and a wedgie that rides up to cut your cheek in half.

But above all- high-waisted, full-coverage panties have never looked great on a girl. Maybe panties that are low-cut and fit well, but the high-waisted ones in the original pictures give everyone pancake butt and look like granny panties in my opinion.

Please don't speak for all of us. My wife's ass still looks better with less covering it.

Meh, these are probably the same chicks that refuse to shave their vag.

I think a woman looks best in low-rise bikini panties. But that's just me.

New Yorkers are the most out of touch with the rest of the nation
