From their Press Release:

Women everywhere can look pretty in pink this Valentine’s Day thanks to Flingwear’s newest addition:  Flingz™ (the ultimate thong for women on the go) in cotton candy pink.  Debuting for Fall 2008 with Flingz™ in nude and black, Flingwear Founder & CEO Kathryn Thigpen felt it was time to expand the color range due to excellent customer feedback on comfort, fit, simplicity, and versatility to wear Flingz under any outfit.  What better way than with a pretty, fun, flirty color to get women ready for Valentine’s Day and the Spring season!
 
Convenient, comfortable and travel-ready, Flingz™ are made of 95% cotton that is soft, natural and eco-friendly, come tag-free, and lie flat on the hip to protect against dig-in and roll-up which as we all know, leads to…the dreaded VPL (visible panty line). Individually folded and wrapped in small, fresh, resealable plastic bags, each pair comes travel-ready to be tucked away into a girl’s handbag, clutch, gym bag, glove compartment, luggage, carry on and more for the ultimate spare pair!  Flingz™ thongs are 95% cotton—a soft, natural, breathable and eco-friendly fabric – and can be hand-washed and air-dried in a pinch.
 
Flingz™ thongs are sized S-L and currently come in nude, black, and new, cotton candy pink, available individually or in the oh-so-cute Flingz™ Weekender 3-pack (absolutely perfect for Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day or other gift-giving occasions this Spring with its adorably designed pillowbox case!). Retailing for $8.00 each or $22.50 for the 3-pack, Flingz™ can currently be purchased online at www.flingwear.com and in a growing list of U.S. boutiques. Great for women of all ages, the simple yet sexy design of Flingz™ is an essential in every woman’s intimates wardrobe, because practicality never goes out of style!  
 
So just who is the brainchild behind this brilliant idea? Entrepreneur Kathryn Lawrence Thigpen, a former marketing executive faced with frequent packing, laundry and delayed luggage as a business traveler.  During a stopover that left her without a change of clothes and, the unthinkable…no change of underwear, Thigpen conceived the idea for Flingz™.
 
Practical, simple and essential: Flingzâ„¢ in every bag!
