Because thongs are so small, they can seem impossible to fold! However, to keep your underwear drawer neat, it's best to fold them up smaller so you can stack them easily. Try the tri-fold method or if you prefer a tighter fold, tuck the thong into itself at the end to create a small bundle.

Method 1 of 2: Tri-Folding a Thong

Lay the thong with the string side up on a table or flat surface. In other words, lay the thong with the butt side up. Line up the strings to the right and left and flatten out the crotch of the thong down below. [1] X Research source

Do the same with the other strap.

At this point, you should have a small, folded bundle that you can line up in a drawer with other thongs.

Place the thong flat on a table or other surface with the string up. Make sure the strings are laid out flat to the sides and the crotch is smoothed out below the thong. The crotch should be turned towards you. [4] X Research source

Bring the straps in towards the middle. Fold the straps so they're mostly parallel with the sides of the thong's front triangle. You should now have a triangle-shaped thong with the straps in the middle of the thong. [5] X Research source

You should have a long strip of fabric stretched perpendicular to your body.

Draw the crotch from the bottom. Fold the strip up two-thirds of the way, starting with the crotch. Let the other third of the thong hang over the band at the top for the moment. Don't try to fold it into the thong. [7] X Research source

You now have a small, bundled thong to place in a drawer.
