If you're wearing a low rise jean, you need a low rise thong because you don't want a "whale tail" showing when you bend down. Commando thongs, $20 each at www.BareNecessities.com, have a dip in the center and are completely seamless and super light in a microfiber that is a dream to wear.

I love that it is clean from tags, lace, any ornamentation or embellishment so there is no chance of VPL (visible panty line). It comes in ten different colors, and if you have a problem wearing thongs, these are easy to get used to!

This is the one of the 150+ new Brilliant Buys in the paperback edition of HOW NOT TO LOOK OLD...coming your way May 1.
