I put down thongs because they're so different from anything I wore/wear as a male. I find that if I get a decent size, I don't have too much trouble with anything escaping, especially when worn with pantyhose--as I usually try to do. I probably wear them the most because they're the most radical thing I can put under my everday work clothes. But anything with color and texture--ESPECIALLY texture: mesh, satin, silk, lace...don't get me started--they're just a little piece of beauty in a en drabbe world! Hidden or not, they make me happy. If I'm going out as Vicki, I usually even wear something particularly feminine under my padded girdle! Next to hosiery and the swirl of a skirt, there's nothing quite like beautiful lingerie to make me feel girlish
