The ‘G’ in G-string is for ‘Germs’

"This underwear doesn’t come with instruction"

The history of the G-string dates back to the 1970s. The fashion however remained a low-key affair until early 21st century. Change is a tough wheel to turn. Plus, you couldn’t avoid the medieval misconception (back in the day) that only loose women fancied tiny clothing.

How times have changed. Nowadays, G-strings are as common as a cold in July. You will see them prominently displayed in glass-windowed clothing stores, as well as in supermarkets.
