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 completely agree that thongs or g-strings are so NOT appropriate for young girls, especially girls under the age of 13. I have a real problem with the way society and clothing designers want young girls to look so grown up. These are kids people….not mini-adults. Come on. Let kids be kids, in all ways, including how they dress. Man, when I was a kid, there is NO way my parents would have ever been okay with me and my sisters dressing the way I see some girls dress. NO WAY. Even now as an adult, of course I want to dress in a flattering way, but even women will take “sexy” over the top. There is a HUGE difference between looking sexy and looking like trash. I am a mom of two girls and there is no way I will let them dress the way I have seen some kids dressing. As long as I am paying for their clothes and they are living under my roof I have say what they wear. At least until they are teens (and even then, I will encourage them to dress modestly)
Ok, I do agree that little girls, (and of course boys!) should not wear thongs!!! They shouldnt wear a lot of things. They have plenty of slutty clothing out there for small children. I have a 2 daughters, both really young. While at a retailer the other day, my 5 year old daughter noticed some shiney satin-y panties in all kinds of colors and cuts. She got excited and wanted them. She did NOT get them. 1. What company would make these kind of panties for little girls. 2. What messed up parent would buy these panties for little girls? and 3. I agree with the people who started this thing and all, but what makes you think that taking a picture of a little girl wearing a thong is cool??? You are talking down about other people allowing their kids to wear such things, you are posting pix on the internet of a CHILD in a thong, who obviously will be messed up anyway from her parents. And then one day she will notice her self on here maybe, while shopping for thongs next week and who knows. You might have just damaged her mentally… You are a disgrace yourself. Why not just leave the image of what happened at the park that day instead of letting the world in on it??? You should be just as ashamed about taking and posting these pics, if not more so, than the parent who let her wear the thong.
it is stupid to let a child wear a thong, the most people are seeing a thong as something sexual, so you better thing what will happen if a pedophile see your kid in her thong playing there, sure he will not behave and will go for it if he has a change, IF YOU LIKE IT OR NOT!!!
Well i can see that wearing a thong is expressing how they feel but it is for safety reasons because the thong would get caught much more easily than normal underwear. And yes a child wearing a thong dose refer to reverse phycology because they are called a little kid they get upset and try to prove that they are NOT little so they dress up like they are really old. But on the other hand they might gust want to dress up like that so it really depends on what their parents approve of.
hope i helped.
After reading all the comments on this site, i decided to give my own opinion, for what it’s worth. I am a single father to two girls (Ages: 7 & 9) and the pictures on this post do not surprise me in any way. Both my girls wear thongs, as do a lot of my nieces who are of a similar age. Strangly they both still act like children not Porn Stars, niether do they go around parading the fact that they are wearing thongs.
Maybe it’s just the way i was brought up but as long as something is covering their vagina’s i don’t see a problem, a thong is nothing more than underwear, it doesn’t make any person more sexy than when their not wearing them, people who think that a child wearing a thong make’s them ‘sexy’ should get their head examined!
I have no problem with my girls wearing them and niether does anyone else i know, maybe because my girls don’t go round lifting up their skirts and showing everyone is why i don’t have a problem with it! My girls don’t wear PJ’s on a night, they wear a thong and cami top even when walking round the house, it doesn’t bother them so why should it bother anyone else, at least their vagina’s are covered and as far as i am concerned that what matters!
Two words: PARENTING CLASSES.
It should bother you to see your daughters’ exposed tookuses prancing through the house every night. Any real man would teach his daughters more respect than that – walking around with their butt cheeks hanging out is NOT acceptable, ESPECIALLY around dad!
However, I’m sure you won’t mind that their BOYFRIENDS appreciate the lesson you’ve taught them when they get a little older.
Yuck.
Amazing! My kids were raised as nudists. Total nudity at home, modest at their friends homes though. Americans are such prudes!
nudest is ok thats just being natural… thongs are sexy underwear… same as french cut bikini off the shoulder dresses and low rider jeans… its not right to me … but you still see little girls running around with these things on showing “cleavage” hip bone and yes the occasional thong poppin out the way to low cut jean and it scares me….there are way to many sickos in the world just waiting for some glimps at some little girl showing a bit of sexuality and there they go another littles girls body is never found:(
I disagree, American society is to hung up on fear mongering… Did you know, American crimes are DOWN to 1964 levels? Television commercials advertise hand sanitizer that is touch-less, so you avoid a possibly dirty pump handle? American families are over-cautious with everything, including their children…
And you “EXPERT” psyco-analists, if you are a single child with no kids of your own, drop dead, you are mental, and I MEAN THAT IN A BAD WAY…
OMG!! I so agree with the other reply-er… Parenting classes are indeed in order. Why would anyone let their daughter parade around the house in a thong and cammi? But this post concerns me. The way things were said throws red flags… i will keep them to myself. I am a psychologist and for some reason i think this poster i am replying to. is not a father of 2. But actually a poser for thrills.
How do you know they are not acting like porn stars? Do you follow them around everywhere? I actually hope so. As you were responsible for bringing them up as sex objects, you can at least atone for that by protecting them from the abusers who will take advantage of your foolish and crass ignorance of child upbringing.
Better still, give me your name and address. I’m sure there are some people out there who are concerned for children’s safety, and would be very interested to know that someone, namely you, was acting like a parental pedophile.
I hope they intervene before those girls are 12 & pregnant.
My daughter (one of 7) showed me your site and my kids have had thier own debate over this,only 3 of my daughters ware g-strings 11yo,15yo 19yo my younger kids 5yo,7yo,9yo are alowed but do not out of comfert issues although they wear beach thongs (or atleast 2 do) this is normal on the beaches in the Russian federation,in my opinion it alows them to feel they are developing into adults as they grow and does not make them think they are adults especialy when everyone eles is wearing them.Early sexual developement is happening due to the media and sexual content in films,advertising,music,TV ,that is were we must tackle it!In Russia the age of consent is 12 but we have a very low teen pregnancy rate and it is noted Mary had Jesus at 12yo.we must respect thier choices even if we disagree when it comes to fashion as to sex i do not agree with them having sex untill 16+ but we cant be with them 24-7 so we must teach them proply to protect them.I think the British have a very high teenage birth rate yes? surely you must ask the question why? to much forced dissapline generates rebelion (something us Russians know about!)so think very carefully when you make these dessisons,did you weare mini skirts or hot pants or the rar rar skirt and if so did mom aprove?
I’m curious as to where you got the information that Mary had Jesus at 12 years of age… I am a Theology major and while I’ve heard speculation that she was between 12-14 years of age, I’ve NEVER found that anywhere in the original Greek/Hebrew nor in any modern translation…
Furthermore, things were slightly different 2000 years ago than they are today. Would you let your 11 year old get married? Would you trade her for, say, several goats and a couple of bags of grain?
Maybe it’s a difference in the cultures, but in America, there are WAY too many wackos for me to give them any EXTRA reason to target MY child.
WORD! Why would someone want their daughters rear out for viewing in public like that? People who say a thong is just underwear is wrong. Look at all of the buzz around them. THEY ARE MADE TO LOOK SEXY!!! THEY ARE MADE TO ENTICE!!! Now, they probably initially just made them for woman to wear so they would have no panty lines in their nice clothing. But, ummm, Even that is an agenda to make women more sexy. I mean really. If it doesnt have anything to do with the way someone looks…. Why wear them at all? So, letting your daughters run around on a beach in one let alone just wearing the underwear thong, is outrageous! How many men go home or just to their car real quick and think of your daughters in their thongs while they pleasure themselves? As a parent you HAVE TO think about that. I would kill someone if i found out they were thinking about my daughter like that. Now whatever, you will say, what does a thong matter, if they like little girls, then a thong isnt going to be the deciding factor. Well it may just be. Say my conservitively dressed daughter is standing next to your daughter. There is a pedophile at the park. He is looking for a little girl to “think about”. And he notices your daughter has a thong on? Which one do you think he will chose? What if he doesnt just want to think about her? What if he wants to have her with him in his van?!?!?! What then?!?!?! Are you going to be able to sleep, if after he is caught and your daughter is USED and he says he was going to take another little girl but yours had a thong on? ARE YOU?!?!?! Maybe so…
Your daughter is blond, mine brunet, the perve prefers blonds, your daughter gets abducted…
But, the boogy-man is more likely not there at all…
Paranoia runs rampant in society and needs to be delt with.
Yes, we need caution, but, it has gotten overblown in the media, where everything and everyone is out to get us. I know people who close and lock ground floor windows, even on hot nights because of fear. Fear is what destroys more!
wrong, 2000 years or 2000000, no difference, people have not changed. And Mary was a virgin UNDER 12 when she was chosen…
i dont think its the kids fault, i think its the parents fault that kids are growing up too early. my parents used they’re own parenting method were from the time i was 5 they would talk to me and treat me like an adult (in other words, with respect) even if they didnt, they would atleast ACT like they valued my opinoin. because of this i respected my parents and i never even wanted to rebel (like by wearing thongs). by the time my little brother was born they were hard at work so i was the main care taker and i didnt treat him with respect at all becuase i liked being the older one. the more i treated him like a kid the more he rebeld and started acting and dressing like an adult too early (by the time he was 10 he thought he was a skater and a ganster) and now that i ask him why he did that he tells me it was because i treated him like a kid and he wanted to show the world that he was a mature adult. so my point is that acting like an adult is the result of rebeling against over condiseding parents. also there is no law against wearing thongs under the age of 18, and there never should be because there is no reason that wearing thongs is wrong because as long as your wearing pants its not exposing anything. as long as they arnt flaunting their bodies kids should be able to wear what they want and express themselves the way they feel they need to
@ Will:
Sicko.
There is no way I’m signing that petition Dannah! Little girls and thongs is the best combination since peanut butter and jelly. Call me a perv if you want, I don’t care. I’m not the only one who thinks this way. There are many guys who can appreciate a young body and not go on a raping rampage. I think I know why many of you don’t like this. Me thinks you’re jealous of these hot young bodies; bodies you use to have but not any longer. Get over yourselves. Let this young hotties have fun while they’re still young!! Viva La Kiddie Thong!
Please, you have to seek HELP, because surely you are in the pornography-addiction pit, this is going to lead you to be a child abuser, then to JAIL, and later to a very UNHAPPY life. There are many programs to recover your MIND. Try googling this: CELEBRATE RECOVERY. Im so sorry for YOU men.
Ok, clearly his comment got to you Jowitter. There is no indication in his post that he is a pornography addict. In fact quite the opposite, as it seems he is joking more than anything. A real pedophile would not make a post like this. Also, just because of his post you claim that this would lead him to be a child abuser, unlikely due to the fact that most pedophiles do not molest children. Rather child molesters are usually men who resort to children because they find them easier targets than women. In fact most pedophiles are closet pedophiles, who do look at child porn, but do not act on their desires.
Furthermore your celebrate recover or whatever is most likely some kind of brainwashing program, as behavior like pedophilia can not be remedied or controlled so easily. As a general rule, emotions and feelings are difficult to control, to say the least.
Name and address, please. I want to report you.
Unfortunately, Allison (comment 50) is writing out of extreme naivete and lack of information. In 2007, the American Psychological Association release a report on the sexualization of girls. Their findings strongly indicate that little girls who are allowed to grow up too fast by wearing make-up, thongs and other sexy clothing that make them look 17… tend to be more likely to be sexually active at a younger age, experience eating disorders and suffer depression as teenagers. Sadly, in 2003, parents of 7-12 year olds spent $1.6 million on thong underwear for their little girls. That has to be stopped along with the other stuff the fashion industry is doing to our girls. Let’s fight for them to be little girls for as long as they can be! It works better for them.
I’m currently collecting the signatures of mothers, fathers, aunts, uncles, big sisters and big brothers who want to tell the fashion industry to STOP! I’m up to 7,692 and I could use yours. Go to http://secretkeepergirl.com/Bod_Squad_Petition.aspx to join me!
Although you used a good source here, you forgot an important principal in psychological research studies. Correlation does not equal causation.
First of all I actually read the report you mentioned.
The study had nothing to do with girls growing up to fast, wearing makeup, or thongs. The study was relating to ” virtually every form of media, including television, music videos, music lyrics, magazines, movies, video games and the Internet. They also examined recent advertising campaigns and merchandising of products aimed toward girls.”
Second, just because girls are exposed to sexualization in the media, does not mean that something that occurred later in their life (i.e losing virginity at a young age, and suffering depression and eating disorders). For example nearly all serial killers drank milk when they were younger, does that mean drinking milk as a kid makes you a serial killer? Rather than criticizing someone for naivety and bad information, which you then falsely reported, maybe you should focus on coming up with a better way to get people to sign your petition.
Listen to the paranoid comments!!!! wow!
No doubt this is an american thing.
Where do you people get this idea that every second guy is a pedo?
Do you want to know what is sexualising our kids? . . its this type of paranoid delusional thinking, thats what sexualises our kids.
One commenter mentioned how she dosent allow her daughter to wear a bikini and she must cover up . . . . . what information does your daughter get out of a decision like that? . . . she would imediately think that shes some kind of sex object.
What signals are you giving to your kids by being this paranoid?
Never in the history of humanity have kids been so safe as right now.
The drawbacks are, they dont play outside anymore, and they dont comunicate with adualts until they are about 18.
Get over it people, the media plays on this subject daily and you all believe that your kids are in danger at every corner. Youre wrong. Freekin paranoid! . . .
I agree with you completely. People on this site don’t realize its their own insecurities that drive this fear.
fresh air! thank you!
now, if naked little kids bother you, why not try and shut down all the nudist camps? kiddies are at summer camp without their parents, and they are NUDE!!!
YOU ARE AN INEXPERIENCED MORON.
OMG!!! her pants and underwear fell AND in THE PICTURE THERES A GUY!!!! did you help her? i would. im turning 13 in a few days and OMG THATS WRONG
Well I have been wearing thongs from such as young age myself, I have always found it wrong to notice young girls in thongs at that age. I think it’s wrong to see girls playing like this in the park and in the playground to be wearing such underwear.
If Trisha is referring to the younger looking girl all in blue with the pants malfunction then her friend must be 10 or younger because there’s no way she’s 12. Well I think it’s fine for older teens young girls like this should not be supporting thongs as they can be so irresponsible when hiding there bits in public without a care in the world.

My daughters don’t wear bikinis because we live in a tourist town where the population doubles on weekends and I refuse to make my kids eye candy to whatever perverts are visiting. My daughters tell me EVERYTHING and know they can come to me with anything that is on their mind, they talk to me very openly, I’m fairly sure they aren’t telling anyone anything behind my back. I’m the parent that even my friends kids come to when they want to talk about things. I fail to see why that has anything to do with them wearing bikinis or thongs. She said I should let them wear what they want as long as I approve it… that is exactly what happens in our house. I don’t approve of thongs or bikinis, so my daughters don’t wear them. I highly doubt my daughters get made fun of for not being slutty, but that did give me a giggle.
i think you guys are so uptight about it so what she wants to wear a thong big deal im 13 i wear them its not like i go parading around school and stuff flashin it and y would u want to even take a pic thats perverted y would u look. no ones going to see them. oh and the girl who posted under christy y cant ur children wear bikinis? they r probly telling ur friends stuff at school behind ur back i know thats what all my friends do. i get straight a’s in school i even go to private school so i hate people that are saying all people that wear thongs are sluts and crap like that i wear bikinis all the time. christy you should let ur kids wear what they want as long as u approve it. let them get bikinis they are probly getting made fun of at school because all there friends wear them. not all underwear at victorias secret is bad i have a bunch from there. they do sell thongs and stuff on one side of the store but on the side where they sell the clothes and stuff they have regular undewear too. its way better quality and its not bad all it says is either pink or it has a logo of the dog they are not bad. u should trust me on this stuff im a 13 year old girl straight a’s in school and i know what your daughters are thinking
Victorias Secret commercials don’t show the “boring side” of underwear or preview girls under 18… You know why they only show thongs and lingerie on ads? BECAUSE SEX SELLS! THOSE PRODUCTS WERE BUILT UPON INCREASING A GIRL’S SEXUALITY! i hate girls that think thongs or g-strings arent sexy/slutty i mean comeon their basically symbolsl! if your under 16 and you wear one your pretty much ignorant.. Im 16 and I saw a girl bending over, and thought dam she looks good, until I realized she was 11!!! it pissed me off so much I had to look up the average age girls started wearing them and now im shocked… Im a guy and dont get me wrong I love to see thongs, but I mean seriously? REALLY 13? (also bottom of the barrel guys are gonna hit on you mercilessly lol) I also realized that the 7th grade girls at my school who wear thongs date seniors!! THATS INSANE and the girls my age who have wore thongs since 7th grade, date 20+ year old guys! THATS LUDACRIS! so pissed off.. date around your own age! anyway thongs promote sexual signs…….. theres not one male that doesnt think that lol bikinis also do too kinda… cuz their basically thin waterproof version of panties and a bra… lol (whoever created them hi-five!) but yeah they dont expose too much by todays standards so i say 13+ is okay i guess idk i sound perveted right now anyway, but theres much worse guys who wouldnt release their frustration aloud like this against young girls who dress skimpy and think they should be taken seriously (a 28 yo teacher at my school wears thongs! to work every day i couldnt believe it, its awesome though but not proffesional lol) Anway after a long rant thongs 16+ and bikinis 13+ cuz if your below that you probably dont look good em or fill em in anyway…also and more importantly it’s awful to your personality cuz you end up thinkin your all that and mature but whtver.. YOUR NOT! AND DONT PIN YUR COUNTER BS ON ohhh “ITS MORE COMFORTABLE” THEY MAKE TAGLESS AND NON-LINING WAISTBAND UNDERWEAR NOW! Just imagine seeing that kid from home-alone wearing a leapard skin bannana hammock and you’ll get the equivalent of what i accidently saw a girl wearing! AUUUGH! PLEASE!! NO!!
OMG too hilarious.
Aw HEYELL NO! No girl under the age of 18 needs to be wearing a thong, and DEFINITELY not a g-string.
However, do you think it’s possible that this girl took her own mother’s g-string out of the laundry and wears it when the mom isn’t looking (aka isn’t paying attention)? I know that when I was a kid, if my mom told me I couldn’t wear something, I just said, “Okay!” then packed whatever I wanted into my backpack and changed when I got to school. Kids are sneaky like dat!
Texan Mama’s last blog post..THIS Obama Cracks Me Up
First – What a mommy wears to feel sexy is just FINE. we can all make our own decisions. (some of them are slutty, but whatever…) And secondly, it doesn’t matter what mommy wears, children should have to dress decently if we want them to ACT decently. It is about self respect! And just because I wear perfume does not mean she does. Because I share a bedroom with their daddy doesn’t mean they do – there’s LOTS of things that grownups do that isn’t appropriate for kids to do. That’s life. Everyone gets to be an adult one day. (hopefully.)
Gosh, it’s good to be opinionated! LOL
Cathy Tibbles’s last blog post..How to Find your First Baby-Sitter
@ Trisha-admin:
Personally, I love them (on myself). I have ever since I was younger. But it really does bother me when I hear of girls that are the age I was when I started to wear them wearing thongs! As I am getting older, I am seeing so much more in hindsight… My five year old knows I have thongs and there will be times she will “mimic” her panties in such a way and I always make sure to tell her that is not how little girls panties are supposed to be. Mommy is an adult hence why mine look different and that even when she is an adult, regular panties are perfectly fine too!
Girls should be given the chance to be kids! Period. There is so much thrown at them so young. Hell, I remember being my oldest daughters age *5* and wanting to be barbie! I suppose its been around for a while, just getting so much worse these past few years.

True in most cases. I wanted to grow up far ahead of my peers. I didn’t want to stay a child. I wanted to be mature, to have responsibilities, to be independent… I asked my mom to teach me how to do the laundry.Not just so I could sneek behind her back, I just wanted to learn that. I also spent a lot of time in the kitchen with her learning how to cook and bake. As for the shopping, no I did most of my clothes shopping with my mom. But I also recieved an allowance and every Saturday morning, my best friend and I would get dropped off at the mall for an hour or so to spend our money. I would buy something “nice” to show my mom or my bfs mom but I would usually buy something that wasnt age appropriate and that would be hidden until I got home. I got good grades and I was never in trouble so my mom had no idea that I was doing anything.

Like another, I don’t even want to know how those pictures were ‘gotten’.
Other than that, I worry about my daughter (cover your eyes if you don’t want TMI) because she sees me with my thong and I wonder how long it will take for her to believe that’s what she’s supposed to be wearing. I hope NEVER. Or atleast not until she’s 30?
Mia of General Hystera’s last blog post..Merry Christmas
If I ever have a girl, I’ll go with the “hell no” approach too. There is no reason to let little girls act grown up way before their time. I have no idea when I started choosing all my own clothes, but my parents definitely had a say in what I wore out of the house until the day I moved out.
