Product Overview
What This Block Is And Why It Exists
These are three related but distinct constructions. A G-string is the narrowest, with a string around the hips. A thong has a narrow strip at the centre back. A tanga is wider than a G-string and fairly wide at the front, closer to the V of a traditional brief.
Running all three on one platform means one size set, one lace approval and one colour card across the group, which is far cheaper than treating them as three separate developments.
Lace, print and plain versions are all available on the same constructions.
Key Benefits
- Three constructions on one platform, one size set and one colour card.
- Lace, printed and plain versions available across the group.
- Very low fabric consumption keeps the piece price down.
- Reduces visible lines under close fitting garments.
Application Scenarios
Where This Block Is Used
- Full lingerie ranges needing string options
- Multipack string assortments
- Seasonal and gift ranges
- Online lingerie specialists
Who It Is For
- Brands who need all three constructions without three developments.
- Retailers selling string assortments in mixed packs.
- Online sellers whose customers filter by construction.
- Buyers who want a wide SKU count on a narrow cost base.
Problems It Solves
- Buyers order G-string, thong and tanga from three suppliers and get three different fits.
- The terms are used loosely, so the wrong construction gets sampled.
- Elastic width defines the whole product on a string style and is usually left unspecified.
- Lace on a narrow panel wastes material unless the layout is planned.

Materials
Fabric Platform
All blocks run on the same fabric platform, which is what lets a mixed range share one lab dip round and one colour card. Colour is approved on physical lab dips, fabric swatches and print strike offs.
Colour card and Pantone references used at lab dip approval.
| 95% cotton / 5% spandex | The default for briefs, trunks and boxer briefs. Soft hand feel, good recovery, easy to print and dye. |
|---|---|
| 95% modal / 5% spandex | Cooler and more fluid than cotton. Popular for womens panties and premium mens ranges. |
| 95% bamboo / 5% spandex | Marketed as a sustainable option with a very smooth surface and good moisture handling. |
| 90% nylon / 10% spandex | Higher stretch and recovery. Used for seamless bonded styles and sport ranges. |
| 95% polyester / 5% spandex | The base for sublimation printing, which needs a polyester rich surface to hold the ink. |
| Merino wool blends | Available for bra and base layer programmes where thermal performance is required. |
