Copied, wildly. Matched, never. Recommended, always. There’s only one original lace thong, and we make it. The Original Rise Thong was born in NYC in 1986 and has been keeping generations of women comfortable for decades with its ultra-soft stretch lace, flattering fit, and nearly-naked feel. It’s the reason we’re known as the makers of the World’s Most Comfortable Thong®. Women's sleepwear, lingerie and more, from Hanky Panky.
