There is a line between feminine and sexy. I see nothing wrong with young girls wearing pretty, comfortable, underwear, and most likely VS sells it.
Most mothers can tell the difference.
I will explain one thing. Wearing thongs and such underwear at a young age teaches children that they're not comfortable with their body. It's not showing a positive message and in all honesty, thongs, makeup, hair dye, etc, should be out the hands of any minor unless an age where they understand what choices they're making and just not to show off to the nearest friend they get. That You'll see it coming, don't put a bad influence on your children. Nowadays, children are getting more and more influenced by their newest favorite youtuber, or tv star and this can be an impact on their decisions. After all, you do not know what will happen in school when you send them to school wearing their first "thong."
I agree 18, or older!
There was a girl in the store yesterday with her parents, I was shocked, her shorts looked like boyshort underwear. Well think Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn, those shorts only sheer and tight. They were also up her butt. Left nothing to the imagination, she might as well been wearing a thong.
My niece at 16 has thongs. Not good. She doesn't dress for her body type, she is really overweight but wears very skimpy clothes, She bent down and I mean everything showed, I am embarrassed for her. But she is insecure and desperate for attention and thinks dressing like that will make her cool and well-liked. A lot of girls that age want to be sexy, the whole "selfie" culture and I think it's sad... I hope she will mature out of this phase.
Sorry, but 15-17 year olds are more adult than child. Considering how many people people lose their virginity before they are 18 and at the very least have already hooked up to some degree (and those that haven't by then most certainly desire to), I'd say you are the one who is off base.
Society isn't pushing for the sexualization of *young adults, they do that all on their own. Because they are going through/are finished with puberty and are looking to mingle with the opposite sex. You can't suppress hormones, and your child will not like or respect you for trying.
That doesn't mean it's right, or it's OK, or that they are ready for it.
I think it's the other way around - media makes things look a certain way, and kids fall for it. Girls think they need to dress and pose sexy, wear skimpy stuff, guys like it, they have to hook up or they "aren't cool". The Kartrashians set the example and it's sad.
I would think, just because you say it, doesn't mean parents have to accept it. What is one to do? Oh well yeah most kids are doing it, so I'll let my 13 year old daughter wear thongs and have sex.
Wow..

There is obviously a middle ground.
You grant some autonomy within your established boundaries - that is what it means to be a parent. Some may push those boundaries and make things hard for their parents but not all will. I wouldn't try to tell others what to do with their kids and I will do what I want with mine.

This. The demand is media-driven. It also really depends on the girl. Some girls aren't into that stuff, in spite of being bombarded with it in the media.
Dressing sexy leads to sex. And sex leads to all sorts of trouble for young women. Me personally, as long as she was living in my home and I was supporting her, I would just say no. Plus I would try to use the time to impress upon her that classy is a much better look than tween hooker.
Several people mentioned thongs. I think they are just underwear. I wear them myself when I am wearing clothes that show panty lines. I don't think they are all that sexy.
If they're young enough that you have to "let" them, they're too young.
