Tanga to me is the portuguese word for thong or g-string. I think that the word's use over in the US likely comes from Brazil. I'm pretty sure that those "cheekie" briefs are not tangas.

Hipster briefs and boy shorts are similar, though boy shorts give more coverage.

I don't like shorts generally, I feel kind of masculine in them. I own a couple of tangas but most of my underwear is low rise bikini briefs - preferably black. I prefer them to be cotton, though I hate that they don't cling as much.

I like to be comfortable, but I like to feel and look sexy too. I also like to match the top and the bottom as much as possible.

@ Tiny Dancer, I'd love to not wear undies, but I need them most days. I'd get my clothes a little wet regularly if I didn't. Lucky you if you can get away with no undies.

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.

Fernando Pessoa, 1918
