5 celebrities share their embarrassing “modesty thong” stories
The recent revelation that swoon-worthy Bridgerton actor Jonathan Bailey (accidentally) wore a modesty thong out to the pub after a day of filming in the buff had us thinking:Are modesty thongs the unsung heroes of the entertainment industry?For those who are unaware, the modesty thong—sometimes referred to as a modesty pouch, or patch—is a crucial piece of modern movie magic.
The barely-there undergarments are frequently used on sets when actors are filming nude scenes, a solution for those who are, well, modest and prefer to not let it all hang out.Since consent is king (not to mention the increased need for on-set intimacy coordinators), these skin-colored pieces help keep everything in check.
Sure, cheeks may be bared, but modesty thongs ensure everyone on set is feeling happy, safe, and respected.In other words: All hail the modesty thong!
We love you, we see you, and we appreciate the work you do!Even still, no one ever said modesty thongs were necessarily fun to wear—or even comfortable, for that matter.
