Where Do You Buy Cheap Thongs?

Was trying to buy a pair of cheapo thongs for our bathroom (yep, we were thongs in the bathroom cos it’s simply gross to walk in barefooted). Kmart was our go to for their $1.50 specials but every size is apparently out of stock when trying to place a delivery order with one pass (initial order goes through then gets declined via email stating out of stock).

So, wanted to see where OzB community get their cheapo pair of thongs during winter?

    Clean your bathroom?

      • +16

        Agree on wearing shoes inside the house.

        But yes, I'm telling you, I casually (or competitively) piss in my toilet, barefooted, then jump straight into bed at night right after.

        I'm pretty sure I also do this at 4am in the morning sometimes and not even remember.

        Having said that, I do clean my bathroom once it a while and no, I don't go barefoot to the supermarket.

        If you can't be neat, maybe just sit down.

        You may need to see a urologist if you can't hit that target

        you’re telling me you casually (or competitively) piss in your toilet, barefooted, then jump straight into bed at night right after?

        What are the thongs protecting your feet from in this situation? The splashback/dribble/whatever is coming from above, so your thongs are only really protecting against prior dribbles, not current ones.

        I hate to break it to you, but your thongs aren't going to be much cleaner than your bathroom floor. Unless you literally leave puddles of piss around that you're standing in.

      • +3

        Can never be clean enough - you’re telling me you casually (or competitively) piss in your toilet, barefooted, then jump straight into bed at night right after?

        WTF, are you seriously saying that the area around the toilet is submerged in an pool of piss? Or even spattered randomly? Because no home of mine has ever been like that since… university shared accommodation.

        We 1) are careful as we're not dogs marking territory and 2) clean things up.

        This thread was an eye opener.

          Sounds like OP is into competitive floor shitting as well

        • Some of the bathrooms in the government departments and a few private companies I visit tell me that yes some people are pure pigs and piss all over the seat, floor and walls. I am astounded any human can be so disgusting but the evidence is their every week so I imagine they are the same at home. however as someone else pointed out they will just be pissing on the top of their feet in thongs, so no better, what they really need is a full hazmat suit.

      • Better not visit my house then

    we were thongs in the bathroom cos it’s simply gross to walk in barefooted

    Are you eating off your feet or something? Licking your toes?

    Do you wear thongs all around the house too?

    Do you sanitise your toilet seat and phone every single time? They have more germs than anything!

      That makes sense - they have foot fetish

  • Walk along your neighborhood and find something that interest you.

    How did you approach things at Croc's Play Center if you are like this with your bathroom?

    • +2

      Hazmat suit

    • Hahahahaha

    Fair enough in a public shower/change facility but in your own bathroom?? FFS

    Why would your bathroom floor be gross? It's called floor cleaner.
    It doesn't take long to disinfect a floor.
    The only reason your floor would be "gross" would be due to laziness.

  • +6

    Jesus, just clean your bathroom, that's disgusting.

  • Cheaper than $1.50 and in stock. Ha.

    Good luck.

    i got $8 Havaianas from general pants in their sales

  • I bet you don't even waffle stomp your poop.

    We kept our female dog out of our bathroom until she got desexed.
    I am scared of blood.

  • If you want cheaper than $1.50 - check out Savers. They occasionally do their 99c sales, and usually have a fair bit of stock (including closed toe varieties or even gumboots!)

    Of course, beware of the section - they also stock the other type of thongs. Will never forget hearing there was a sign in Dandenong savers pointing to the section for 'second hand g-strings'…

  • check the discount stores for dollar shops.
    you should consider a different style ( the classic slip in) they are easier to get into and more comfortable

    Kmart is the best I seen. Have tried to buy Havainas from them many times but always no stock.

    Anyway yes bedroom and bathroom are where I barefooted (and in socks during winter). If you can keep your bathroom clean regularly, it should be pretty clean. I did in rare occasion, if it happens the bathroom get cleaned straight away with disinfectant and dried.

  • gumtree? :)

    • Local waterway. Although it takes a long time to find a matching pair.

      • Why should be matching?

        • True, but they need to be close to correct size.

          • @Euphemistic: Nope, anything above your size will be fine… :)

    try not weeing on the floor in the bathroom and then you won't need to don dedicated footwear

      With this one simple trick you can stop your house smelling like pee

    • +1

      Have to put shoes on everytime, or the males sit down to pee.

      Id rather sit than turn on the lights for the midnight run.

  • Does wearing a thong help or hinder your aim?

  • +1

    I have 2 teenage boys they no longer miss the mark i cant work out why adult males cant hit the target.

    • +2

      Wont go into the details, but due to the biology of human body, unintentional miss can happen from time to time. It can be more prevalent for some people compared to others. It will most likely happen to your teenage son every now and then especially after long inactivity such as sleeping. But the proper ethical way is to lift the toilet seat when urinating and wipe them off when that "accident" happen.

    • I refer you to this educational video

    Big W seems to have virtually the same cheap thongs (bought some at Christmas time = summer)

    Not sure if all year around or only summer, as a post have mention.

    • Yep, I think big w has some - might be the way to go. Cheers
