Step1
Size your next g-string purchase to get the right fit. Much like regular underwear, these scant undies usually come in small, medium, large and extra-large sizes. Stick with the same measurements you would for a high-cut pair of underwear.
Step2
Gauge your g-string selection by the width of your hips. For a hip measurement of 34 to 36 inches you should purchase a small g-string and for a hip range of 39 to 41 inches, select a large size. If you fall somewhere in between, you'll need a medium.
Step3
Be aware that some of the fabric used to make lingerie-style g-string underwear is looser than other styles that incorporate spandex and Lycra. Ask the department store salesperson or online site's customer service administrator how the fit of the g-string runs, and adjust your selection accordingly.
Step4
Fill your lingerie drawer with a variety of g-strings. Nowadays, you can select from a wide range of styles, patterns and fabrics. Get a bevy of well-fitted g-strings in lace, cotton, silk and Lycra. Mix up your underwear purchases with an array of accents like flowers, bows and colorful stitching.
Step5
Evaluate the outfit you want to wear your g-string under. If your main goal is to avoid panty lines, get a g-string with as few string embellishments on the top of the back as possible. Cotton, silk or nylon are materials that offer smooth protection.
Step6
Go g-string hunting. Visit the lingerie section of your favorite department store for a designer g-string. You can also get the little stringy sensations in many other places, from online sites and boutiques to mail-order catalogs and sexy lingerie magazines. Many of the large discount retail chains carry a wide line of g-strings, thongs, lingerie and bikini swimwear.
