Ok Let's get real here.....

I am what you would call a "plus size" woman. Now every now and then, I like to look sexy for my husband. SO from time to time I pick up a nice sexy piece of lingerie. Here's my issue- I'm plus size- why the hell would I wear a thong? Are you kidding? Come on really- talk about stupid- it would probably get lost!
Clothing manufacturers - here's a clue, if you're gonna make a nice piece of lingerie for us make it with a nice boy short or high cut, or at least a bikini- at least that's more than a piece of thread!
