I imagine from your question that you've never worn one. Even though I’m a guy, I'm going to give you some very good advice about thongs. This comes from my own experience wearing them (an ex-girlfriend got me into them) as well as what I've learned from women online and friends in real life.
I've asked women the reasons they like or dislike wearing thongs. And I don't mean just the typical "well, they feel like a big wedgie" answer. I mean I want details baby! I want to know why, where, when, and how. Before I do, I have to warn you that I'm going to get a bit graphic here. I don't mean to discuss anyone.
One of the biggest mistakes that women do when picking underwear, thong in particular, is that they often pick them based on looks (cute, sexy, etc.) vs. comfort. Picking the right SIZE, cut, style and material can make all the difference in the world.
One of the problems that women have is picking the right size. Most women wear a size too small. I realized that long ago and when I asked several fashion design students at a school about it and they totally agreed with me. The same way that most women wear the wrong bra size. I'm sure you have heard that before.
The cut and style is very important. Thongs now come in different styles. Some thongs are a bit more roomy than others. What I’m talking about is the material that runs down the front, over the pubic bone, and over you lips. The problem is that women come in different shapes and sizes down there. Some have a lot and some pretty much nothing, just like a slid down there. The problem comes when you pick thongs that are very narrow (I’ve seen some at stores that are so narrow that it makes you wonder what were they design to cover) and with some of those thongs, if you are between average and really full size down there, you are going to run into problems. Add to that problem the problem of picking a size too small and you have a bigger problem.
The width of the back strip is also important. Too wide and thick make you feel like you have a big wedgie. Too thin, like some that are just like a string going down, may not hold the front part in place. Especially when that string is made out of elastic and if you are a bit on the full size down there.
The other thing to consider is the material. Thongs are worn in very tight places. Places with a lot of movement, movement that comes from bending at the hips, walking, running, or even just sitting. Wearing thongs that are made of a soft and stretchable material that moves and flexes with you can makes a huge different when it comes to comfort. The best material out there by far is called Microfiber. If you are not familiar with Microfiber, I’d suggest that you take a little trip to your local dept. store and take a look at some panties make of it. It’s a material that is very soft and stretchable.
For people who are just starting to wear thong or even the more experienced thong wearers, I highly recommend thongs made of Microfiber and stick with the traditional thong style and not with the ones with a little tiny string running down that back. Just used common sense and think about comfort rather than looks. After all, how often do you walk around in public, friends or even family members in your underwear? It’s funny how some people buy their panties based on cuteness and/or sexiness, then they take them home, put them on, cover them up with more clothes, and no one ever sees them.
I’ve ran into six girls so far who have told me that they hated thongs. Once I found their size, I went to the store myself and bought them a few pair of thong that I picked for them and asked them to wear them for at least five days straight. So far not one have come back to tell me that she still hate thongs, not one! Four out of the six wear them daily now and the other two wear them most of the time. Like my friend Rose wrote in an e-mail to another friend of mine, “wow, it’s pretty embarrassing that a man had to teach me how to buy my panties. Now I’m hooked on them (thongs) and can’t stop wearing them”

I won't wear anything but thongs. They are like putting a ring on your finger where you haven't been wearing a ring for a while. You only notice it at first.
If you have worn thongs and then you try to wear regular undies, you probably won't like regular undies any more. Thongs stay in place nicely too. I also think they make the bottom more attractive since they don't make panty lines.
If you're clean, you shouldn't have any problem with being sanitary.
My daughters were disgusted when I first started wearing thongs, until they decided to try them. Now they both wear them too.
Try some out...that's the best way to know for sure. There are some that are pretty skimpy with just a string up the back side. I don't care for those. I also prefer cotton because of the feel (lace can be scratchy), and cotton is a little tougher so it can withstand repeated washings in hot water.

I wear thongs and I don't even feel them at all. People always joke that it must feel like floss up your butt or whatever but that must mean that their underwear is too tight! The one thing I found out the hard way is when I would exercise I would wear thongs and I would constantly get bacterial infections and I couldn't figure out why. It ended up being because I was wearing a thong when I exercised and the thong for some reason just moves bacteria back and forth where as when you wear normal underwear to exercise it doesn't go back and forth since normal underwear aren't as tight as thongs. Any ways thongs are sanitary and a lot more sexy, lol, just don't exercise in them or you might a bacterial infection.

Yes, most thongs are comfortable, once you get used to them, you don't even notice it. Just try a few different styles til you find one that is comfy for you. In response to previous poster, thongs are not just for the bedroom. They are made to prevent visible panty lines.
As for being sanitary, you shouldn't have a problem if you keep yourself clean and change your underwear daily (I hope that you do). If you are especially prone to yeast infections, you probably shouldn't wear them, but if you have never had yeast infections go ahead. Of course, if you notice anything awry, stop wearing them and see a doctor.
I have worn thongs for years and never had any complaints.

Unless you haven't mastered the art of wiping yourself after a bowel movement, thongs are sanitary. Some people find thongs uncomfortable but I beg to differ. Thongs are comfortable to me. I find that the larger the woman, the more uncomfortable they feel in thongs. I guess it depends on who you ask.

if you like dental floss, they sure they are comfy. but realize that any number of "seamless" underwear in bikini or boyshorts will accomplish the same thing. I love the body by victoria line from VS. and you cannot see my bikini panytline. seamless is more important than the actual style. And I can tell when women wear thongs, you an see the butt jiggle which is not a good look either.

They get more comfortable after a few times wearing them... when you first try them out they feel like you have a wedgie but they get better after you wear them more than once... as for sanitary... if you get a cotton one it is more sanitary than silk or any other material... just make sure to wash it and you'll be fine

Um...they are very comfortable, but, if you're going to wear them, make sure you are...very clean and don't wear them during that time of the month. It's just a hassle. I'd shave or wax, too. Really, the're moe trouble than they're worth. Plus, you don't really wear them unless you want someone to see them, anyway.
