Hi! Here's a little bit of an introduction. I found this forum yesterday and decided to become a member since I used to be a member of the previous MTF forum. That was some years ago (three if I recall correctly), when I first started wearing thongs not just as underwear but as swimwear. I joined the forum for the shared experiences, and for the encouragement.
I'm Italian. I've always been fascinated by thongs, I remember secretely manufacturing thongs out of old briefs in high school. But I first started wearing proper thong underwear intermittently (without advertising the fact that I was doing so) when I was 24, wishing I had done it sooner. At the same time, I transitioned from wearing shorts style swimsuits to briefs. A couple of years later, and thanks to a supporting girlfriend, I started buying more and more thongs, and using them in places where I had not worn them before, like the gym. Moreover, I finally found the courage to wear them as swimwear.
Now I'm 29. My underwear drawer has more thongs than briefs. I still wear briefs from time to time, but I haven't bought any in a long time; actually, I'm slowly throwing them all away and replacing them with thongs and g-strings. Also, most of my swimsuits are now thongs and from last year g-strings as well. I have a sort of a brazil-back swimsuit which in the last couple of summers has been my most covering swimsuit. I only have two normal swim briefs which I kept for the times in which I might go to the pool, or the beach with my family, but they have mostly been gathering dust lately...
A good day to everybody!
