Other designers use different measurements to get g-string sizes. The Annie l'String of Ft. Lauderdale determines the size by the stitches up the back, up and across the front. Their measurements are 14, 28, 26 for large, 13, 26, 24 for medium and 12, 24, 24 for small.

The mini size is 10, 20 and 24. The micro size is 8, 16, 24 and the pico is the smallest at 6, 12 and 18. Again, the sizes here are evaluated up front, across front and up the rear.

Construction

G-strings are made out of leather, plastic or other fabrics. In crochet g-strings, the mesh can be either opaque or transparent. Some are plain see-through while others become see through when wet. G-string sizes rarely have an effect on the tie design.

Some are elastic, but others require the g-string to be tied on both sides. The g-string’s basic design consists of a piece of material that conceals the genitals and fits between the buttocks.

The size of the back section differs. In some cases it disappears within the buttocks; in others it is more visible. The most significant difference between male and female g-strings is that there is a vertical seam in men’s designs.

G-string and Thong

The two are interchanged with one another very often. However the g-string is actually a variant of the thong. Aside from the g-string other types of thong include the T-back, V-string and the C-string.

The g-string sizes mentioned earlier are the most common but not the only ones. Other countries may sell them using different measuring scales.
