C-string
There are several variations on the G-string. An example of one variation is the C-string; as narrow as a G-string but without the band around the waist, leaving just a "c-shaped" piece between the legs held in place firmly by a flexible internal frame. Since there is no material around the waist, the C-string completely eliminates the panty lines which thongs and other underwear create. C-strings are also designed for use as beachwear, which reduces the tan lines that would have been left by the side straps of even a G-string. Removing the side straps also eases donning and removal.

C-String: The Strapless Underwear
What is C-String? Its a new style of lingerie thats strapless! It can be worn under any clothes from jeans to trousers to dresses or you can even wear it as swimwear.
The packaging is small, and it looks like a hair band, but slightly lop-sided. The front part is like the front part of a normal style of g-string or thong knickers with a thin band running to the back.
The band is quite strong and curved to form a C-shape which holds the C-String snuggly in place. You may think that there isn't enough to hold it in place, but tests by various women have shown that it does stay put without slipping of falling out - which if you are wearing a skirt if very high on the list of requirements.
The C-String - or C-Kini as its sometimes known can be worn under any item of clothing from skirts to dresses to trousers, suits etc - and it can even be worn as a bikini for sun bathing.
If you don't like tan lines, then the C-String is ideal for you. It fits in place without straps to allow you to bask in the sun without having to keep straps out of the way - giving you a much nicer and even tan.
It can also be worn as swim wear and again you may feel uncomfortable swimming at the local pool in it - probably more from people staring (in admiration) when you get in and out. It is like normal swimwear, but without straps so really there isn't any fuss to be made.
If you are wearing tight trousers, even a thong of g-string can show through, so why not try the C-String as the absence of any waist band means that it eliminates any VPL (visible panty lines) which thongs or other underwear creates.

Forget the G-string - can ANYONE wear the new C-string?
By ALICE SMELLIE
This is the stuff of nightmares. I am walking down the road pushing a buggy when I have to bend down to pick up a dropped toy.
A passing van driver leers at me and then beeps his horn. But it's not because of my blonde hair: it's because I look as if I forgot to put on any underwear that morning.
That's what happens on my first day wearing the "C-String", a bad dream in underwear form. According the promotional blurb, it is "sexy, elegant and completely unique".
If you're an ordinary-shaped person, that's one out of three, and it ain't the first two.
The C-string consists of the front part of a thong-style pair of knickers, held up with a little bit of wire at the back. The idea is that you pop it on, and it stays put. Think of an unevenly shaped wired headband, and you're half-way there - the name derives from the C shape. Then imagine wearing it on your bottom.
The manufacturers suggest that you wear it with outfits that might show a panty line, or even as swimwear so that you don't get tan lines across your bottom.
Personally, I would rather go to the beach wearing full ski-gear than wear a skimpy headband as a part of bikini bottoms. But then, after two children, I feel racy wearing a coloured bra.
However, I have agreed to road test the C-string for a week. I receive my consignment by post in a minute envelope. No extra postage needed on this item. Then I dangle the C-string thoughtfully from my finger. It doesn't look big enough for a child's bottom, never mind one belonging to a decent-sized woman.
My two-year-old son Archie wanders into the study and his eyes light up. "What's that, Mummy?" he asks.
I'm momentarily stumped.
"It's pants," I admit.
He giggles. "But where's Noddy?" Ah. Most pants in our house have Noddy on them.
"There's no room for Noddy to live," I explain.
He seems satisfied.
While the C-string consists of less material than a gnat's handkerchief, it is not easy to get on being so springy and slight.
Once I have struggled into it I glance in the mirror and am horrified. You need the limbs of Elle Macpherson to carry this look off.
Thankfully my husband has gone to Spain for a few days with his friends, so is unable to laugh at me - or be sick at the sight of his wife looking like a lapdancer at 7am.
Dressed in hipster jeans I wander gingerly downstairs. Already the pants are chafing. I rapidly realise that hipsters are the wrong item of clothing for the C-string.
I take the children to the park and fall into conversation with a pleasant-seeming couple with a child a little older than Archie.
Our children smile shyly at each other and take turns on the slide. And then Oscar, my youngest, falls down and I bend over...an apparently underwear-free mother. The couple make their excuses and leave the park quickly, glancing behind them as they leave.
My aunt comes to stay for the weekend, and I show her my racy underwear. I tell her, quoting directly from the manufacturers, that the C- string is: "Ideal for the beach or the bedroom".
"Wouldn't it be a bit uncomfortable to sleep in?" she asks.
When I have stopped laughing we agree that that's undoubtedly not what they meant.
When my husband returns from his boys' weekend away I canvass his opinion.
"I'm testing out a new pair of pants," I announce.
My husband doesn't even look up from the telly, where Jeremy Clarkson is telling him something about cars. I try again. Still no response. He is really tired.
Then I announce: "They're invisible." The weary head whips round and the tired eyes pop open. Ha! Got him. Unfortunately, when I show them to him he is faintly repelled.
The next day I drop Archie off at nursery and grab my fellow mummy friend Zoe as she is scooting off.
"I need to ask you about my pants," I hiss. She looks at the sample C- string I am holding - if I showed her in situ I'd be arrested - and exclaims in horror "It's awful. It must dig into you!"
"Is it terribly painful?" she adds sympathetically. I grimace bravely and hobble home.
My innate fear is of being carted off to hospital in the wrong underwear, so I find myself driving particularly carefully and crossing the road with extra caution. Any medic seeing my bottom would be laughing too hard to carry out life-saving procedures.
On the fourth day I have to wear a skirt because it's so hot. As well as feeling vulnerable, I am absolutely terrified that my pants are going to fall off. How will I explain as I scoop my C-string hastily off the pavement?
But it stands fast, which relieves me, but whenever a small child tugs at my skirt I feel it slipping inexorably down. You can't push away a one-year-old who has only just started to walk, so I solve the problem by not leaving the house.
I am impressed to note that there is no apparent panty line to ruin the line of my skirt, but again, I'm afraid I just look as though I'm not wearing anything, which frankly looks worse.
However, when I try on an evening dress I am impressed. Normally I can see the smallest of thongs, but with the C-string nothing is visible, and the dress does look more elegant than usual.
I am nothing if not thorough. While there is no way I am going to test out the C-string while sunbathing in our overlooked London garden, I do have a shower wearing one to see if it would stand up to the rigours of a swimming pool. The practical answer is yes, but the mirrors in the bathroom say a firm "no".
A girls' night out seals the fate of my new pants. A host of giggling and tipsy thirty-something friends confirm that although they undoubtedly have a place in the drawers of the idle rich, size eight, 20-year-old models, they don't quite work in day-to-day life.
C-strings? Frankly they're pants.
