Remember the corset? The ones from way back when women essentially gave themselves 24-hour agita? We were really repressed (and pressed in) back then. Not cool. You know what else isn't cool? Thongs. Why anyone would want to wear something all up in your butt cheeks is beyond me. One wrong wiggle, and that string can get all up in your lady parts.
I could see if you want to be all sexy pants and wear them for the five seconds before your lover rips them off, but an all-day affair with your butt munching a piece of fabric? No thanks. Still, I know some women who prefer the thong and it's baffling why.
The number one reason, though, seems to be panty lines. PANTY LINES? Why care about panty lines? You can't see them unless you have a mirror, so just pretend anything back there isn't an issue. Besides, I heard from one guy one time that panty lines are sexy because he feels he can envision the shape of the woman's ass better that way. Hmm ... okay that might be a reason to wear a thong instead. As for me, I'd rather nix anything that you can see panty lines in than wear some butt floss. No thank you! My butt prefers to expel things rather than take them in. I guess you all now know where I stand on anal sex.
By the way, one of my friends, who used to be a thong-only kind of gal, stopped when she got vaginal e. coli. True story. Some boy shorts (and medicine) quickly remedied her ailing vagina.
It's why we wipe front to back, ladies. It's why we shouldn't have pieces of fabric all intimate in the rear. And oh my gosh, could you imagine wearing a thong with a hemorrhoid?!
Thongs. They don't cover your butt cheeks, which essentially makes them colder. They are like a wedgie that just will not quit. It's a terrible torture invention that no woman should wear. Supposedly invented by a man, thongs should never be worn by a woman.
Do you wear thongs? If so, why?

Yes, because I don't want panty lines. They're unsightly and not classy. You can find thongs that aren't up in your business, they don't have to be all string.
i wear them, and it's a personal comfort thing. i buy cotton thongs, not g-strings (if you're talking about a "string up your butt" then it's not a thong) and look for cotton crotches just like any other panty. as @nikkivolkov said, it's also about cleanliness. there are plenty of women who only wear regular cotton underwear and they still get yeast infections too. (fwiw, i've been wearing thongs for over 12 years and the only yeast infection i got was a side effect from pregnancy hormones, and i wasn't wearing a thong then :/ lol)
I think your friends vagina trouble could have been caused by the material of the underwear and not the thong itself, but I'm not a doctor. I just remember my gyno telling me certain materials are not good for underwear because, I believe he basically said they don't let your vagina breath. I do wear thongs because I don't like panty lines. They just don't look good and make me self conscious. I also go for the ones with more material and not the g strings. Those I hate!!
Guest - was the woman whose thong you could see wearing light colored pants? I've never been able to tell a woman was wearing a thong so I'm just curious.
I've been wearing thongs for years and I've never had a problem with them. However, I only wear them during the day when I'm wearing leggings or other tight pants, never with jeans or to sleep. I agree with some of the other posters that the reason your friend probably had an issue was because of the material of her thongs. I only wear hanky panky and commando thongs. Yes, they're rather expensive, but they're the best and most comfortable thongs money can buy. SO worth it. Panty lines are trashy. A good wardrobe starts with good foundations -- a good fitting bra and a comfortable thong.
