What is a bodystocking?
A bodystocking is an article of lingerie which is similar to a leotard or a catsuit. It is much the same thing as a unitard, but the term bodystocking is likely to be preferred when the garment is worn as an underlayer in cold weather.
It usually is a sheer close-fitting one-piece garment for the torso that often has sleeves and legs. Bodystockings are often crotchless. The material that is usually used to make the bodystocking is a sheer fabric similar to those used for stockings and tights, or from fishnet material. Some people consider bodystockings to be an erotic garment.

Women’s thongs
Traditional thong
This style is generally the most common one that is made and it features a strip of fabric of varying widths, at the rear of the garment, connecting the front or pouch to the waistband.
G-string
The g-string style consists of an elastic string, as opposed to a strip of fabric, connecting the front/pouch and the waistband in the rear. It is also called a Rio thong. Since the mid 1920s, female strippers and exotic dancers in the West have been referring to the style of thongs they wore for their performances as g-strings. The origin of the term g-string is obscure. Since the 19th century the term geestring referred to the string which held the loin cloth of American Indians and later referred to the narrow loin cloth itself. William Safire in his Ode on a G-String quoted the usage of the word g-string for loin cloth by Harper’s Magazine 15 years after Beadle’s and suggested that the magazine confused the word with the musical term G string (i.e., the string for the G note). Safire also mentions the opinion of linguist Robert Hendrickson that “G” (or “gee”) stands for groin, which was a taboo word at the time.
T-back
A thong that makes a straight line of a strip of garment in the back like the letter T.
V-String
Similar to the g-string, this style connects via a single string along the rear that separates into two strings just at or before the waistband or into a small triangle of fabric above the buttocks but below the waistband.
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 as beachwear, which reduces the tan lines that would have been left by the side straps of even a g-string.
Cheeky
A more conservative style called a cheeky covers a little more area, but exposes the bottom part of the buttocks. Some cheekies are used as undergarments while others function as bikini bottoms
