Attitudes to thongs are changing in most of the Western world toward more acceptance. Acceptance among men is especially on the rise; most stores now carry a selection of men's thongs, and more men are dismissing the stereotype that thongs are for gay men. They are becoming a regular item of underwear and thong swimsuits are seen more frequently on the beaches. The wearing of thong swimwear on the beach is fairly common in the Southern European countries and on the tropical beaches of South America and Florida. Some county and municipal governments in the United States have passed legislation generally or specifically relating to thongs, such as Huntington Beach, California, which in 2007 passed an anti-nudity ordinance that did not ban thongs.Councilman Don Hansen assured, "we remain thong-friendly in Huntington Beach."
Recent surveys place the number of American women who wear thongs as their preferred underwear style at 28%. As of 2002, thongs were the fastest-selling type of underwear for women. While thongs are available for girls as young as third grade it is common for parents to prevent young girls wearing them until they reach their teenage years.
Many reasons exist why women and girls may chose to wear thong underwear or swimwear prevention of visible panty lines, prevention of ride up so one needn't pull at their underwear in public, comfort, doesn't ride up past jeans, fashion consciousness including the feeling of more adult and more feminine, saving storage space during travels, minimization of tan lines.
A large number of men and women also wear thongs as the preferred apparel during private home workouts or exercise, finding the clothing to be sexually empowering and liberating while one desires to get into their best possible 'sex body' shape. The almost completely exposed buttocks of many styles of thong is a paramount feature of this routine, with a lot of exercises emphasizing the development of gluteal muscles. In this regard, thongs to an extent can be attributed to aiding individuals in increased personal health, fitness, self-esteem, and sexual assertiveness. Particularly for men, thongs allow the genitalia to remain in a secure position while working out or exercising in as close to a state of nudity as feasibly possible.
This is one item of clothing that cannot be worn in dance competitions under the rules of the IDSF (International DanceSport Federation).
