For me, the rear strap makes a huge difference in comfort. I prefer narrow thong bands between 1/2 to 3/4 inch wide. Thong bands wider than an inch can be uncomfortable due to too much material stuffed between the cheeks. Thin elastic g-strings are also uncomfortable. After wearing a couple hours the string starts to feel like its digging in too much. A thong band feels much softer. One of the reasons I prefer buying from a brick-and-mortar store is so I can look at the thong band to make sure it will work for me. When buying online, you don’t always get a clear image of the back, you cant tell from a model photo, and they never list the thong band width in the description.

100% feel you about shopping brick and mortar. The problem is that many brands aren’t available in stores. I often just roll the dice and buy a single pair from an online retailer to assess fit and quality, then buy more later. It’s a slower process, but it’s made me realize I enjoy doing the research and reading up on what people are saying.

I often wear a gaff thong at the Beach for a nice smooth flat-front look. The wide back strap looks much better when I am walking around people sitting on blankets.

Yeah, I totally agree that g-strings can be uncomfortable and can feel like butt floss. However, I have a different opinion on wide thong straps. For daily wear, I prefer to wear thongs with a wider back because I feel like the thong strap just sits between the crack when it is wide. Like a g-string, a narrow thong strap can dig into the crack.

Both! Depends what I'm doing. If it's working out or working (I have a semi physical job) then I will wear a wide rear strap. Ideally, banded or stitched material will never touch my hole to prevent irritation. The fabric (especially if it's cotton or satin) is allowed to touch but often doesn't.
I like strings just fine for bed. The thinner the better so it feels like sleeping bude!

For me it depends on what the Thong is and style. The only thing i don't like is if the the back strap is too long, where you have to pull the thong up way high or you have excess material. Hope this makes sense.

Oh yeah, I know what you're talking about. If the back strap is long, you have to pull up the thong so that it sticks to your body. I have some thongs that look 'loose' when they are not worn high enough. i hope this makes sense.

I prefer the thin strap and Y shape down the butt crack. I even modified some T to Y.
