Men's Thong Forum

Guess you probably went ahead. Missed this until now. I’ve bought a few Gauvine’s from DGU myself. Great do,our selections in the Colours of the Planet range, particularly the purple.

So far I’ve been impressed for the price. They wash well and aren’t falling apart unlike some of the other brands I’ve had. I think they’re better made than Doreanse. I’ve found Doreanse can be a hit and miss and have thrown a few pairs away, which I haven’t done with other brands.

The Gauvine Colours of the Planet 1000 and 1005 ranges are the ones I’ve bought. 1000 is similar to some of the Doreanse ones I’ve bought in terms of coverage at the front is very generous. They look more like briefs from the front. The strap isn’t too wide though, so I guess they’ve got a bit of best of both worlds going on!

I think they are fairly true to size.

Did xzate08 try either in the end?

For what my opinion’s worth, Cocksox are very comfortable and ideal for daily wear. I’ve got a few in the original pouch in that “Supplex” fabric. The thong strap/back is thicker than most HOM/Olaf Benz but that doesn’t bother me. I find the pouch doesn’t make my junk protrude too much.

When it comes to Manstore, perhaps unsurprisingly there really isn’t much between how they feel or wear than Olaf Benz. I find with both I rarely need to “size up” as I do with other brands. They tend to wash very well and don’t lose elasticity but follow the instructions to the letter just to be on the safe side.

The “tower” strings I’ve owned tend to be have a little less coverage at the front than other brands and especially the Cocksox for example.

Other brands worth a try, especially if looking on Dead Good Undies -
Gauvine as they’re on the cheaper side, range of different colours and seem well made;
Gregg Homme - these may be more expensive but they last and last and the fabrics they use are really comfortable;
TeamM8 - been really impressed with these and the Icon and Spartacus styles remind me of Calvin Klein Body Thong/Yves Saint Laurent thong designs from early-mid 2000s, combining a classic male underwear waistband style with an almost triangle back thong style: I find them really comfortable for all occasions and again they are releasing some different colours;

Cut4Men - not sure how much longer these will be available as I’d read Joe Snyder was ceasing production, so assume same applies for Cut4Men. I find they have a more relaxed fit than their cousin Joe Snyder styles - less snug but similar quality. They wash well but definitely recommend hand wash. Some of the materials - metallic prints - perhaps aren’t everyday wear but they’re comfortable.  Seem to have a fair few in stock on Dead Good Undies;

Modus Vivendi - if you want to go for some different designs and materials!

Most of my thongs are concealed waistband. I get where you’re coming from on the drawbacks of the exposed waistband styles. I do have a number of exposed waistband ones though and to be honest I’m likelier to wear them for leg day at the gym because of the support they offer.
So many of the first thongs for men I owned were that  exposed waistband style though because they were the ones stocked in bricks and mortar stores - long thrown out now.

Of the exposed waistband ones I didn’t throw out and acquired more of the same style, which get the most wear, are my C-in2/2xist/Andrew Christian y-back styles. I own two Ergowear  MAX style thongs and they’re seldom worn. The Ergowear FeelGr8” and SLK styles I own though are worn a lot.

Hey Pjw1592.

I’m from the U.K. too and have been a full time thong wearer for at least 12 years (been wearing them most days since 2005).
My first experience of seeing a man wearing a thong was a scene on a TV programme with male strippers. They were being ogled by women, so a positive depiction but granted most men don’t have the same body type. I have however since seen plenty of scenes where the mickey has been taken out of men wearing thongs. However, I can think of other scenes where I’ve seen a guy being made to look silly wearing oversized boxers.

As well as thongs being dismissed as “feminine,” I used to hear or read others dismissing them as “gay,” which is equally daft. Many thongs for men are designed to enhance the way the penis looks so are arguably more masculine than other types of underwear. At the end of the day notions about thongs being “feminine” are other people’s hang-ups.

As others have alluded to, other people don’t have to know what you’re wearing underneath your jeans/trousers/shorts etc anyway.

I was in high school when they became really popular and used to get aroused most days seeing whaletails.  I’d go home and look at sites with galleries of women wearing them and reward myself for a hard day’s work at school!!
I had a fetish for them by the age of 12 and one day I stumbled across the Kiniki site and saw their range of men’s thongs. Curiosity at what they’d feel like to wear started and it awakened my lust for men too. I found a few website with pictures of men wearing thongs and would alternate between pictures of women and men depending on my mood.

I’d see tv programmes with men wearing thongs from time to time, at least one man sunbathing in a thong when we went on holiday every summer and discovered that Debenhams and House of Fraser stocked thongs for men. I can remember looking at one in Debenhams and getting a hard-on.

It wasn’t until I was 18 that I finally started buying them. One day I was shopping by myself and a lady bent over in front of me to pick something up and her thong was on display. I snapped and marched straight to House of Fraser and bought my first Hom Fredy string. A few weeks later I returned and bought a Calvin Klein sports thong and another Hom Fredy. Debenhams used to stock YSL thongs, which were basically the same design as a Calvin Klein body thong only slightly better made.

It snowballed from there and especially when I started buying online.

Yes, I can empathise with mbit - I need to purge ones I don’t wear. I did actually throw a few that were in my bottom drawer that I didn’t realise I still owned out recently but I need to be a bit more brutal than that!

My other one would be continuing to aim to have 2 leg days per week.

If we’re lucky, the weather in April may be warm enough to thong outside but, there’s no certainty as it’s always unpredictable here.

You can say that again!    Do you remember the last week or so of March 2012? We had the mini heatwave all around the country with temperatures at 20 Celsius or above pretty much everywhere. Never thought I’d be having a BBQ in late March but it was perfect weather for one. The following year March was bitterly cold and we had one of the coldest springs on record. Even April was cool compared to normal in 2013.

We had great weather this April I thought and I can definitely remember a few other years where we’ve had prolonged stretches of dry and sunny days in April than later months including July.
