Okay by quality do you mean, thicker, not see thru or stronger material. I buy thongs from sexyfigure8 on ebay. about 20.00 each but I have had mine for about 7 trips now.
That is all I have (string back with tie slides) and they are all from Bikini-beach.com I can't get the regular thongs as I am tiny and they don't work at all. Cost was $12.00 a piece plus shipping so I always get 2 or 3 at a time. They are called tiny g slide or (chips)
thongs ok, i'm a bit bigger (k, quit a bit) than you guys, but i'm ok with a thong. My problem is that i have had a c-section years ago and now have a belly shelf. I need a swim bottom that goes up over that a bit. Like midway between my cooter and my belly button. Almost ever thong i have found is way low in the front or is extreemly high waisted going all the way up to the belly button. Anyone see any that are a bit higher in the front than normal but not to the belly button??
I also had two C-sections and the Dr. messed up the second time (pulled too much skin on one side so it didn't scar as well as the first time), so I am self conscious about it. I cannot wear the micro thongs because they are way too low, however the Classic Thong Bottoms from Malibu String cover my C-section perfectly (the elastic about 2 to 5 mms above the scar), it is wide and high enough as you can see in this pic.
