Men's Thong Forum

Interesting topic! I would be more than happy if men thongs become socially accepted as well as "one of the popular men's underwear types".

Definitely the first step would be for thongs to become socially acceptable. Big brands need to take that initiative.

Any premium/luxury brand (Versace, Dolce Gabbana, et al) would first need to showcase mens thongs in major fashion shows.

Then, may be, Armani coming up with "Skimpy" underwear collection for men. You can't just market thongs. There has to be a gradual progression. So, Skimpy collection would focus on 'sexy and comfortable' designs. Educating how pouches and skimpy coverage bring best of both worlds (sexy and comfortable). Comfort should be the key in the marketing campaigns.

Digital/print ads could focus on male celebrity wearing low coverage bikini undie such as 3/4 back coverage with decent pouch.

That's how the Skimpy collection would look:
3/4 back coverage, 2/3 back, 1/2 back, and then Thong
These would be available with different pouch sizes and with thin or no waistband.

In a nutshell, a big brands focus on 'comfortable yet sexy' and celebrity endorsement could just make it happen.

Oh. I guess I am being carried away and getting too demanding. 

Thanks for sharing. These look great and comfortable for daily wear.

I agree that underwear is a very personal thing. But, I do change clothes in front of my friends, when I am on a trip with them. They would definitely spot it. During family visits, they would see it on the drying rack. I often open the door in my undies when it's a Amazon or food delivery.

So, just because people have such strong opinions on men thongs, I have to keep it a secret. Why thongs have to be a secret, but not briefs or trunks? I understand if it's women's thongs. For god's sake, a man wearing men's underwear should not be strange or odd!

May be, if men thongs starts featuring in fashion shows, digital commercials for popular brands (say, Armani or CK), then people will stop having such strong negative opinions.

So, the package arrived few minutes ago. I would say the initial feedback is positive so far!

Bruno Banani

The fabric feels good and premium. After wearing it, it felt more like a swimwear. The front is very tight. There is literally no space in front, and the back string is going too deep. Overall, disappointed. Not something I was looking for.

Olaf Benz

This one's thin and soft. I was hopeful. After wearing, I felt good. The space in front is optimal, and the back string feel good too. Yeah!

ikingsky

Now, this one's a winner! Amazingly soft fabric. I just fell in love with how it supported my stuff without squishing it, and how the back string disappeared in my cheeks. Doesn't look as premium as Olaf Benz, but is super comfy. I am glad there are 6 of these! I am excited to show all 8 pairs to my gf.

As I am writing this, I am wearing the black ikingsky. I can't thank you guys enough for the suggestions. I think I could wear ikingsky and Olaf Benz as daily underwear. I have never felt so comfortable in an underwear ever in my life.

Thanks for reassurance. I am anxiously waiting to receive ikingsky, Olaf Benz and Bruno Banani thongs tomorrow.

Will share my experience.

Thanks Kraig. I have already ordered Olaf Benz. Eagerly waiting for it. Any other recommendations for brands or websites that sell in Europe?

Thanks kiyoothong. Yes, I think that's the reason I found HOM thong uncomfortable, because although it looked like a thong, but had a thin string at the back. I really liked the back of Doreanse 1216 thong. The back strap just slipped perfectly inside my cheeks without any annoyance (but was bothered by almost negligible front space).

Hi everyone!

I am quite new to men thongs. I know this is a very long post, but I really need some guidance. But before that it's important that I share the background with you all. I wore my first thong around 6 months ago.

Background

I am/was a regular briefs wearer. An year ago I didn't know that men thongs even exist.

Being a regular briefs wearer doesn't mean I am satisfied with that style. I felt most briefs style too restrictive in the front area. It gives support, but squish the stuff too much. Same problem with boxer briefs. Once I tried boxers, but didn't like the unsupported dangling feel. Since then I thought briefs might be the best that is available for men. That was a compromise.

How it started?

My girlfriend wears thongs occasionally. It was always a turn on for me to see her in thong, but I had no slightest clue that man thongs exist.

6 months ago, she gave me a package and asked me to wear it, and she herself went to the other room to change. I opened the package. It had 2 tiny underwear in red and black. I thought it's women's thongs, but noticed the pouch in front. I wore it without thinking too much as I was focusing more on the action that was gonna happen next.

After the sex, both of us normally wear our underwear to go to sleep. So, I wore that thong and felt really good in the front (while a bit odd feeling in the back). First thing I thought was "Why can't they make normal underwear front like this?" I asked her why did she gift me this, she said "Just like men find them sexy on women, women too find them hot on men".

The Eureka moment!

After few days, while getting ready in the morning, I realized I have ran out of clean underwear. Then, I thought to give that thong a try. After first hour of adjusting the back strap, I almost forgot I was wearing any underwear, while my stuff felt relaxed, supported and not squished. I smiled and thought - I found the most comfortable underwear! Why I didn't know about this? Why I never see this underwear type in stores or online? Why I always thought Thong is a women thing? When I wore it, it didn't feel feminine at all. In fact, it felt manlier than a brief or boxer brief because of the front pouch. It was like a revelation for me.

But, eh..

I started wearing those thongs for 2-3 hours a day. After 4-5 days, I started feeling a bit uncomfortable in the back. I realized the crack has got itchy and sensitive. While I liked the support and freedom in front, the fabric made few other things worse (sweaty junk). I realized that these thongs were made of some synthetic material (nylon or polyester) and it was hot.

I was very disappointed, because as I felt that I found the perfect underwear style for me, I realized it was far from it. Are men thongs a novelty product only? Don't they make it for everyday wear?

The research begins

I opened Amazon and started searching for thongs. I must say I was pleasantly surprised to see men thongs available online. I wamted to avoid cheaper ones, so I ordered a HOM and a Cocksox. When the package arrived, I got disappointed again as the HOM was restrictive in front and it just had a thread in the back, while the Cocksox was pushing my stuff too much in the front.

I ordered a Doreanse, and it was also too tight in front. Well, I had thought that thongs have a comfy front by design, but I was so wrong.

I then started googling about men thongs to understand if men thongs are actually perceived as comfortable daily underwear, and I only heard such great things focusing on comfort and style. So, where did I go wrong?

Then, I came across this forum. I realized there are a lot of experienced thong wearers here. So, I wanted to understand what's the key to find a perfect thong? Do you guys find thongs comfortable? Should I look for a specific brand? Specific fabric?

I could have given off easily, but I still believe that the structure of a thong makes it a perfect underwear. I just don't realise where is it going wrong.
