I have some of those as well. I think for it to be a true g-string it has to come to a T shape in the back. I tend to call these string thongs since it's pretty g-stringy but has a bit of a triangle back
Welcome to the forum and good to see you joining into the conversations right away. Look forward to hearing about your underwear/swimwear experiences.

I call them a thong. I have some, and they are how I define a thong.
To me a g-string is (as others have said) just a string T in back made up of a thin "string" strap. But I also define the front, which is more of a vertical pouch/patch that goes fairly straight up to the string waist band, and is quite narrow, just covering what needs to be covered. I know there are variations, but at least to me, any design with leg openings that sweep up and to the hip isn't quite a g-string. I guess I'm not alone. Here's what the Oxford Dictionary says of a g-string,"a garment consisting of a narrow strip of cloth that covers the genitals and is attached to a waistband".
