Want to graduate from cheeky to either thongs or g-strings. Not sure where to start.

Hi, guys!

I play softball for our local high school and I am looking to become more adventurous with my underwear choices. I have many friends and classmates that wear either thongs or g-strings on a daily basis. Lately, after talking to a friend who is the head cheerleader for our school, I am kinda determined that I would like to try dipping my toes into the thong/g-string pool.

I'm going to be starting out from wearing cheeky briefs. But I do have some boyshorts as well as some bikini briefs. So I have some questions...

What is it like first wearing a thong/g-string?

I've seen a few loose pair at a friends place. They look so uncomfortable. What is the appeal of wearing them?

Do they feel like a wedgie?

How long did it take to get used to wearing them?

Do you still notice them when you have them on and the string is riding happily in your butt?

Do you use other styles of underwear when you have your period?

Which kind do you recommend for someone starting out?

Thanks so much. Also, other tips would be great.
