to those of you of either sex who wear thongs or strings, doesn't the back side get in direct contact with your anus? (linux.community)

Why you all taking about your butts? I wear thongs in the summer. They're quick to slip on and pretty comfortable footwear.

If your thongs are touching your anus, you're wearing them wrong.

"Thong" can mean a type of sandal, also known as flip-flops, but it's also the name of a type of underwear or swimsuit bottom that's basically a string in the back.

I grew up calling flip flops "thongs", but as I got older, people were almost exclusively using that term for the underwear, so I switched terms to avoid confusion.

Exactly

Though strings didn't feel as comfy when I put in my feet
