Japanese men began wearing them for sumo wrestling as early as CE, and they still wear them for that purpose today. However, those thongs were worn by men. It was a requirement. Burlesque dancers at the time were savvy enough to realize that too much coverage would be a disservice to their profession.

The practice proliferated throughout the world for millennia, extending into ancient Egypt , ancient Greece , and ancient Japan. But let's get to what we think of when we think about a thong: a tiny, sexy, and perhaps somewhat itchy piece of mostly women's undies.
The contemporary thong first made an appearance at the World's Fair in New York, but it wasn't revealed as a new-fangled invention being shown off among the world's up and coming inventors. Rather, the thong was forced into creation by then-mayor Fiorello La Guardia, who stipulated that nude dancers had to cover up their "private parts" during the World's Fair.
In a cheeky move toward compliance, the dancers donned thongs, which covered just enough risky business to be acceptable by the apparently prudish Mr. La Guardia. Thongs are frequently associated with wedgies ; they're not especially comfortable, nor are they necessarily designed to be. While nude dancers were the first to wear the modern thong, some accounts say that thongs didn't hit the fashion scene in earnest until , when Frederick Mellinger began selling "scanty panties" to women.
