G-Strings

A g-string sits at the smallest end of the panty category — minimal coverage, designed to disappear entirely under fitted clothing and short skirts. The construction details that matter are the band tensioning, the fabric weight, and the gusset placement.

About this collection

This collection brings together stretch-lace g-strings, microfiber g-strings, low-rise and mid-rise styles, and matching pieces from houses including Cosabella, Hanky Panky, Wacoal, Cou Cou Intimates, OnGossamer, and our own Journelle Collection. Sizing typically runs from XS through XL across the line.

From the fitting room: g-strings sized too small bisect rather than disappear — if a g-string feels uncomfortable at the band or leg openings, the size is too small rather than the cut being wrong. Stretch-lace styles wear most comfortably for daily use; microfiber styles are typically smoother under the most fitted clothing.

Women's G-String Underwear

The g-string is the most minimal underwear silhouette — a thin waistband, the barest strap at the back, and no visible panty lines under anything. At Journelle, we carry g-strings across every fabric: sheer mesh for a barely-there feel, lace g-strings for texture and romance, silk for pure indulgence, and seamless microfibre for everyday invisibility. The difference between a g-string and a thong comes down to the back: a g-string has a single thin string where a thong has a narrow panel. Both disappear under clothes — the g-string simply disappears more. String underwear for women, edited for fit and fabric quality.

All underwear is final sale.

Frequently Asked Questions

G-String FAQs

What's the difference between a g-string and a thong?

A thong has a narrow back panel — a defined strip of fabric that sits between the cheeks. A g-string replaces that with a single thin string, making it the most minimal option available. Both eliminate visible panty lines; the g-string simply offers less coverage at the back.

Are g-strings comfortable?

Yes, when the fit is right. A g-string that's the correct size should sit flat at the waist without digging in and the back string should lie naturally without shifting. Seamless microfibre and stretch lace styles tend to be the most comfortable for all-day wear; silk and mesh are better suited to shorter wear occasions.

What fabrics do g-strings come in?

The most common options are seamless microfibre (the most invisible under clothing), lace (textured, with a nylon or modal base), sheer mesh (lightweight and graphic), and silk or satin (smooth, for special occasions). Cotton g-strings are less common than with thongs but available for everyday comfort.

What's a v-string?

A v-string is the most minimal version of the g-string family — the waistband forms a deep V shape at the front and the back is a single string. It offers slightly less front coverage than a standard g-string and is designed for low-rise or cutout styles where any waistband would show.

What should I wear a g-string with?

G-strings are the go-to for bodycon dresses, fitted trousers, yoga pants, or anything where panty lines would show. Nude and skin-tone shades are the most invisible under light fabrics; black under dark. Seamless styles work under the most challenging silhouettes — anything with stretch or jersey construction.

Can I wear a g-string every day?

Many women do. Seamless microfibre and stretch lace styles are cut for daily comfort. Fit matters more than the style itself — if a g-string shifts or digs in, it's usually a sizing issue. If you're between sizes, go up.
