Did that get your attention? Its not surprising that little girls want to wear thongs. With the amount of makeup thrown on Bratz dolls and the ultra bulimic Tini Puppini, we have taken dress up pretend play to everyday reality.
Today at the park, there were two girls running around. They had to be no older then 12, but I would put them at 11. First off, the little girl (whose face I have covered) and her friend were playing on the swings and spinning around and the girl fell backwards and her legs were stuck over the side and her entire pants AND underwear CAME OFF.. I felt SO bad for her. The girl had to untwist her to get her pants up first.
While that was an accident (and should teach her about wearing PJs to the park) when the other girl got up to play and we saw her Gstring hanging out the back, I about died.
G string?
For an 11/12 year old? Oh, HELL no.
Who finds this even remotely appropriate? Its no wonder old perverted men look at little girls wrongly…they are wearing adult clothing and parading it around out the back of their pants.
And the irony of the Tinkerbell shirt paired with the “matching” hot pink G string is killing me.
Would you let your child wear this or am I just too conservative?

ps for the record, I was a lot further then these pictures indicate and this was a background shot that I cut out of the picture and it zooms it..its a 10 meg camera, so you can be far and get up close….this should be a lesson to parents who let their kids wear thongs..no one cares or notices if you take pictures at the park, so dress your kids appropriately. In this case, I cut out the girls face wearing the thong but in the real shot, you can see her.
I won’t even let my 13year old wear cotton panties from Victoria’s Secret. My sister got her a $100 GC but I only let her sweats and tees.

Totaly insane! I remember hearing my cousin saying that some stores make thongs for girls that age. i think its wrong. its setting a bad example and i think promoting sex. not, something an 11 yr old girl should be thinking about.

i agree that at that age its a little young… but it depends on the person who is wearing the thong. some people wear them to get rid of pl and others for sexual reasons. but not all thongs are bad.

Same here and my daughters are 9 & 12! Skirts & shorts have to come down past the tips of their fingers when their hands are at their sides and there will be no cleavage or belly button showing!
Swimsuit shopping a nightmare, they want little two piece bikinis like my best friend’s 10 year old wears, and I say no freaking way!!! And finding a covering one piece is a challenge so sometimes they have to wear a t-shirt with their swimsuit.
There will be no thongs in our house for sure.
That is AWFUL! Nobody can say that the parents don’t know that she OWNS THESE UNDERWEAR! Unless at 11 or 12 she shops by herself and does her own laundry, which is highly unlikely. No excuse for it at all, she’s just a little girl.

@ Sara:
your right, girls are sneaky. I wasnt allowed to wear makeup either so i would wear it at school. But what kills me is WHY would a girl want to wear a thong. They are not comfortable in the slightest.
I think that is where we are going wrong. Our kids want to wear thongs…gstrings. This isnt even a CUTE thong. I think someone said…stripper thong? I agree.
I think it is outright terrible if the PARENTS did buy it!!! But on the one hand, I am 26 now… when I was 11,12,13 and so on, I was a very boy hungry girl. When my mom would drop my best friend off at the mall for an hour or so, we would buy thongs, sexy shirts, makeup, ect…. I would hide them in my pockets or purse before my mom or her mom would pick us up…then I would separate my laundry so that my mom never knew….
As a mother of 2 girls. (ages 2 and 5) I think it is terrible how fast people want the girls to grow up. I just really wanted to throw it out there that it might be the girls being sneeky. I was terribly sneeky!! Either way, now that I am an adult and a mom, I see how wrong it is for someone that young to wear them!

@ Mommy Zabs:
I know, it looks awful, but there were 100 people at the park and I was following charlotte around and I was just taking pictures. They were in the background of the shot, but since it was 10 meg, I just cut it out and it makes it close up. (i did cut the face out of the girl wearing the thong for privacy reasons)
BUT this should be a lesson that anyone can take pictures of your kids wearing thongs if they want and no one knows. LOL
~Trisha
my girl will not be wearing a thong at 12, what the heck? how did you get these pictures discreetly anyway?

Seriously, I had no idea this was an option for a 11 year old. I am still shopping for 3 year old. Why are these available for such a young age? And who in the hell buys them???? What mom would purchase these? Some people are so stupid!!!
Missy (TwoLittleMonkeys)’s last blog post..2 short videos….
That is so disgusting. I would’nt even wear that and I’m just 23 years old! Sometimes you have to consider the source: the parents. They’re not always to blame, but in some cases like this, one can wonder.

OH HELL TO THE NO!!!!!!!!!!!! That is a stripper strap!! WTH. We were in Sears at Christmas time to get my 6 y/o some panties and some of the boy cuts were the ones where the cheeks hang out the bottom of them. Something DH would like to see me in. It pisses me off. little girls panties should fit properly and made from breathable fabric for a healthy vagina. grrrrrrrrrr, gets me hot! >:/

Oh my gosh. As a mom of an 11 year old, I can tell you that to us, this is completely unacceptable. I am SO anal about what my daughter can and cannot wear. And thank God she has the common sense not to ask me for something as stupid as a thong.
We are ultra conservative – skirts to the knee, no tight clothing, no low cut tops… and while most of it is for modesty/religious beliefs, I also want to do it for her protection. Boy see thong, think sex. Even at 11/12.
So, heck no. Not on the girls in my house. Ever. They can buy them when they move out. They just don’t need to tell me about them! Or show me, for that matter!
Angie’s last blog post..I’ve got a secret!
OMG! That is just disgusting. There is no way that I would allow my daughter to wear one of those (she’s only 7 now – maybe when she’s 25???). I think this is so inappropriate.
Chriss’s last blog post..Merry Christmas to you all!!!
Looks to me like someone may have been digging in older sister or mom’s drawer…
That is just crazy. I fault the parents – children that age are not buying their own drawers. Give me a break, as if our children are not growing up fast enough without additional input and support from irresponsible parents. Ugh.
Renee aka Mekhismom’s last blog post..Saturday Musings
Oh my…that right there is just wrong. No way Jose would I let my kid out of the house or IN the house with that on! I believe that little girls should STAY little girls! My niece who is 10 is already so grown up that she has a hard time playing pretend kitchen/house/babies with her 8 year old sister. It’s sad. When I was 10 & in fifth grade we still played house & school! I think the way those girls dressed is also an example of how much our little girls are growing up & maturing too fast, in the imaginiation arena. They have lost the ability to pretend. They’d rather talk on their cell phones & sneak into their mama’s underwear drawer. Sad, sad, sad.
Teachinauntie’s last blog post..Christmas Part 6…
Yeah, my girls won’t be wearing those as long as they live under my roof! I don’t even think they’ll know what they are and for those parents that allow their little princesses to tottle off and play in grown up underwear, I just have to shake my head! So inappropriate and what do they think they’re teaching their little girls when they allow them to wear that type of underwear? Please let them be little angels for as long as you can!
Jacquie’s last blog post..Don’t Let Your Cart Roll Away!
No, I wouldn’t let my girls wear those at all. I can’t even imagine that being comfortable playing at the park.
I don’t think it is g-strings leading to kidnapping & rape though. If you look into why pedophiles do what they do, they prefer little girls & boys. They don’t’ want a little girl looking like a grown up. It is children they like.
I think the reason it is wrong to allow a child to wear these though is it is setting a bad image for these girls on how woman should act. I think it is setting them up to be easy targets in middle school & high school with boys the same age as them. That is my biggest concern.

Umm…no
I was looking at the Holiday stuff on sale at Walmart, and they had these sets of camis and bikinis. I rolled my eyes, and considered the pajama bottoms.
My daughter’s 7. I don’t even let her wear shirts that show belly if she raises both hands!!!
