In my opinion the T-front intercrural garment should be retained as a distinct entry. The authors note the anthropological origin of this design from the uluri belts which are common among South American tribes. This is a waist belt with a small triangular ornament and from which an intercrural cord extends to cover the rima pudenda (pudendal cleft). The intercrural cords have a physical function in protecting the most sensitive part of the body with a minimum of concealment, as well as being a indication of sexual maturity and fertility. <ref> Studies in the Psychology of Sex: Voume 1, Havelock Ellis Therefore it would not be appropriate to define the T-front merely as a design variant within the general sub-category of underwear such as thongs or G-strings, as this would not reflect the distinct design features of the T-front linked to the origin as described from the uluri belt (which is also the only reference to this garment within Wikepedia). 2A00:23C5:472F:E501:9D1D:1311:1265:B6F (talk) 07:49, 20 January 2021 (UTC)Reply
