But think of all the pantylines they could avoid!

KIDDING KIDDING KIDDING YOU KNOW I'm KIDDING.

Yeah, that's pretty disturbing.  The whole brandname seems like a new kind of evil to me.

Disgusting... what is the world coming to :(

I would love to know the brand name so we could all complain.

To hear they are flying off the shelves is even worse because it means parents are buying into this!!  What reason on earth would a child need to wear that?

Wow, I'm pretty much speechless.  My daughter is three and I would NEVER buy her something like that.  Even when she's 18 I won't buy her thong underwear! 

It's very sad that a company even manufacturers thongs for toddlers, much less names them such a sick name.  It's worse that people are actually buying them!  What an outrage!

The company doesn't give them that name Mindy, I looked it up and it is urban slang.  I doubt the company says it's for "prosti-tots"

I really hope someone can find out the name of this company though b/c I think they need to be blasted big time

LOL @ my thinking that the brand name was Prosti-tots!  I did some online searches and realized my mistake after posting that.  I still was shocked because I never heard of that terminology before.  How degrading. 

If anyone finds out the name of the manufacturer, I would love to give them an earful.

I AM OUTRAGED! Like everybody else, I want to know the name of the company selling these panties. I will be complaining AND/OR signing the petition most definitely. I don't have a daughter! If I did, I would NEVER EVER purchase this type of panty for her. I can't believe these are flying off the shelves, what parent in their right mind would buy thong panties for their toddler daughter. This is just plain sick.   

I'll be passing the company name, the department store who sell it and the petition to sign as soon as my friend is finished setting this up!

I'm glad we(those of us been made aware of this on Facebook)  are not the only ones who are outraged!

 

Thanks cmohr, I'll be passing the petition to my friends as well once you have it ready!

I'm so appalled! As it is, there's so many child fashion designers that make shorts and skirts too high, shirts to small or with says like "sexy," for girls! It's just gross! I've seen tots in school wearing micro-mini skirts and I don't think it's cute, I find it disturbing, inappropriate and exploitive!

You would not find no teen of mine wearing that stuff, let alone a tot!

Yeah the thing I hate the most about those super short skirts is taht young girls are going to be playing around a lot, they are never sititng there thinking about if their underwear (or thong in this case) is showing!  They do cartwheels and run and giggle and lay on the grass... short skirts and thongs are not gonna be on my kids!

wow as a mom of a 3 year old i am not shocked to hear about this type of product. i have seen provocative underwear in the stores in the toddler section as well. however these were low rise boy shorts, u be the judge.

i would be even more shocked to learn that parents are spending their money on sexy undies for their baby girls because the product sounds like it is for people who take part in child exploitation. the police should be notified of whom is purchasing this item and keep close tabs on them.

Good point... preschool girls particularly don't have any sense of covering themselveswhen they have a skirt on.  At least with regular underwear that's all you're seeing is the underwear and not more. 

Basically all I have to say to this thread is OMG!  Seriously??? I cannot even comprehend why moms would even buy that for their little girl.  So disgusting that we are making our girls grow up so quickly.  I mean seriously... at 3 years old they really need a thong???  They're barely potty trained let alone needing sexy underwear.

SERIOUSLY?? geez

Even though I don't have children, I am disturbed by the thongs for tots issue but it is nothing new, alas! 

When I was a little girl, my conservative dignified mother (God bless her) bought me regular underpants but my little friend next door wore special ones called "Bobbi Pants" which her Grandmother made for her because you couldn't even find them in stores.  They looked like the briefest possible bikini bottom (imagine maybe HALF a bikini) which were meant to be worn like regular underpants.  I had never seen something like that before and it really sort of shocked me even back then when my little friend and I were only five. 

When I mentioned the bobbi pants to my friend's mother several years later, she said that someone had made a law against little girls wearing them!  The thing is that to you or me, something like that would not be alluring or anything nor to a lot of normal men but to someone who is mentally unstable, well ..... ! 

 

WHAT THE HECK?!!!!!!!!!!

OKay now that's waaaay out of line! How dare they manufacture a perverse thing? Obviously they have no shame at all! These sick people are openly being sick and not embarrased and ashamed of publicising such perverse things. Oh man, they are so gonna get it with God if they don't repent! They are asking more for trouble!

I'm not a parent but I do have morals and my mom taught me what's the right thing to do and this, this is a disgrace! They are lower than animals!! Animals are starting to look better to the human eyes when it comes to judging their surroundings to protect their little ones. (Mother animals protect their youngs from predators no matter the size.)

This is infuriating! How come when it comes to immoral things, people pass that law or product easily and when it comes to something decent and good, it's difficult to .... I don't know how to put that but I imagine you know what I'm trying to say.

When 9/11 happened, porn was almost nonexitent!! (darn, if only it was gone for good!) And a lot of people got closer to God. Now what? Are people letting the faith be forgotten again? Are they asking for another punishment or what?

Thanks so much Chrissy for passing this along! We cannot let these perverts go about and ruin more the world than it already is!!!

Having three kids (all young right now) I have seen plenty of toys / clothes / videos / FOOD that were targetted for children that I did not agree with.  One item that I am currently discussing with my girls are the "Bratz" dolls given the way they are caked with makeup and the overall poor clothing options.  There are always going to be items for children that some find offensive and I've have taken the approach of talking to my children to explain to them why this is not appropriate.  I remember my folks either forbidding me to have something because they did not like it and that only furthered my interest in the item. 

I hear the thong diapers are little to be desired ;-p

I too dislike the Bratz dolls, I heard they were out of business though and was glad- I would never let my kids play with a doll called "bratz" let alone the way they looked.  I wouldn't want to raise little bratz!

Well i do think we can't protest everything (bratz for example, you just tell your kids why you dont want them to play with them) I do believe in protesting things like these thongs.  I see NO reason why they would be needed.  I wouldnt even let my 15 year old by a thong, let along a 5 year old :(

THIS subject will be turned into an article for me!  OOOOoohhhh, the mere idea of this disgusts me!  NO WAY should that be okay.  Aside from the message it sends to the girls, it's also unsanitary for young girls.  It's a bacteria trap down there and young girls don't know how to take care of themselves yet.  I swear, it's a good thing I don't have girls.  They'd be dresssed like dorks, wear veils, and walk around with chastity belts on. 

NOW....I have heard it all.

Hahahha... that's great Jen.

But Barbi wears a thong you know :)

You remember when Barbie was something parents protested???  Now Barbie looks like an angel compared to Bratz and some of these other dolls.  At least Barbie had some good jobs!  She was a doctor, a nurse, a police officer and more :)

In ten years they will come out with something worse to make these Thongs look like no big deal.  I guess that is the way the world turns

Here's an article: http://www.reason.com/news/show/120351.html

Barbie wears a thong????  Are you seriuos?  I haven't seen a Barbie doll in ages. 

Yeah I don't remember what barbie was like either.

My 5-year-old likes to take all of her clothes off if they are not comfortable. She hates tags, melts down if her socks have strings, and can't stand for anything to be itchy. Seams are a particular issue with her. (This is a common symptom of Sensory Integration Disorder), so I probably won't have one single problem with my child even considering wearing a thong, if I accidentally picked up a pack of these. One big seam in one sensitive place...don't think I'll have to worry about this one.

I think that many little girls want to wear what the adults in their life like to wear. The baby wants to wear my husband's shoes. The 7-year-old wants to wear my hair things. OK--I hate seams and itchy stuff too so it's Granny panties around here for all of us. We go for comfort and I'm glad we do. I'm just hoping for easy-to-find seamless and VERY soft panties with cute pictures for little girls one of these days.

As for Barbie, ours usually end up without clothes when I'm not looking.

Seamless undies for comfort is one thing. (Perhaps you should patent that idea.) Thongs are not comfortable at all and the only reason women wear them is for men. I have worn them for my husband and that's behind closed doors and I hide them deep in my dresser (and this is the first time I've ever mentioned it, otherwise no one would know) They are not comfortable. One day a while back, my husband asked what the purpose was for a thong, besides for a husband/man, when it's so uncomfortable? I couldn't answer him. He then proceeded to tell me that he'd rather me be comfortable than wearing those. He said their were other ways that I can look attractive for him without having an uncomfortable piece of thread back there, so I haven't bought them since.

I have some friends say that they prefer to wear thongs because of the concern for the "visible pany line." But who really looks that close, unless you're wearing thin or light colored slacks? And now that they have seamless panties for women, why are they even necessary?

Why subject girls to thinking that's sexy when we should be showing them that the most attractive/special trait is to be themselves?

Oh, and just to update everyone, my friend, Jen, who has started the cause, should have the petition ready by Saturday (tomorrow). She's getting help so the petition is as professional as possible.

Katrena, like you said - kids want to wear what their parents wear... so hopefully parents are not flashing their thongs around their kids!  Trouble is now a lot of younger people have kids and they do not think about setting an example when they dress. 

I started a discussion topic in the cause on FB regarding where fashion designers should draw a line when it comes to girls clothes. Perhaps I should start another topic regarding parents setting an example with what they wear!?!

Oh this is horrible!   reminds me of those tots doing that beauty pageant stuff!  

 kiddos are growing up before they should!   when I get word of stuff like this ,it leads me to think those perverts out there are having a field day with their sick imaginations...

 

:( Those pageants are awful too.  They have multiple TV shows about it and the mom's think they are doing nothing wrong by loading their kids with makeup and teaching them they have to wear 100$ dresses! 

I think if they want to do talent pageants for kids that is one thing, but once you start teaching a 5 year old that they need Makeup - that's just too much.  It's ok to do pageants for fun also (I had friends that were in them when they were real young) but once you make it their #1 importance in life - that's just WAY too much.
