Thongs are the latest new design for womens panties. Thongs are panties designed to offer a totally smooth fit with no detectable panty lines. The no-show thong has become popular with women of all ages.

Basically, the thong is a panty with full frontal coverage with a narrow piece of material for back coverage. The average thong ranges from an extremely low rise at 3-1/2 (great for hip hugging fashions) to the high waist thong at a 6 rise. Most range from the sizes of extra small to extra large. Some thongs have nothing more than a g-string for no back coverage. The g-string sometimes consists of lace, pearls, or sequins.

Thongs can be found in many different styles, including: extremely low rise, low rise, bikini, hi cut, and waist high. The thongs waistband can be either a string or a wide side panel. Some thongs have flower or butterfly appliques at the back waistband. Other thongs even have cute or sexy words embroidered on the front.

Thongs come in different fabrics, including: 100% cotton, cotton and spandex blends, cotton and lycra blends, nylon and spandex microfiber, silk knits, mesh and lace.

So, why choose to wear a thong? Many women love the comfortable fit of a thong and the smooth no show look it provides.

All wood workers need to be aware of wood movement when building furniture projects. Failure to consider this important factor can cause wood panels to crack or split.

My high school biology teacher compared the structure of a piece of wood with a bundle of straws. The straws represent the cells and capillaries of the wood. When a tree is growing water and food are transferred up through the cells and are carried throughout the tree.

Once a tree is fell the free water in the wood is lost rather quickly but the bound water trapped in the straw like cell is slower to dissipate. As the level of bound water is reduced these straw like cells get narrower in diameter but maintain their length. This is the fundamental reason that wood expands and contracts across its width but has almost no expansion length wise. (more…)
