New to thongs. Need guidance

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.

First congratulations on discovering things and this forum. I hope you find the help you seek.

It think for many of us our first thongs were both exciting and disappointing. Like you finding a thong that is supportive up front and not restrictive is a great thing. Having a partner accept and promote your wearing of thongs is wonderful. But our first thongs often were the wrong size for us, the wrong material or the wrong cut. The beat thing to find the right thing is by trial and error, way too often. For sizing pay attention to your waist size and the size guide of the manufacturer. Just because you wear one size, say medium, for one company you may not wear that size from a different company. Next take a look at the material. Do you prefer cotton, rayon, a synthetic, nylon or something else.

For an all day comfort thong you might want to start with cotton. For me one of the most comfortable cotton thong’s is from N2N Bodywear. If looking at Amazon I’d suggest trying iKingsky (pay attention to the sizing guides as they change slightly for different styles). I suspect there are many of us that have a number of thongs in our drawer that we thought looked sexy/interesting/attractive and once they arrived we found the fit not quite right. It happens. Sometimes the rear strap is to long or to short making the thong uncomfortable. Sometimes the pouch is to restrictive or to loose. Once you find the right fit for you you may well discover you prefer thongs to any other form of underwear.  For me, I wear a thong every day. They are comfortable, sexy and supportive while being non-restrictive.

I would not say you went wrong. I would say you are in the discovery phase. Some things to consider May be:
Ergowear
N2N Bodywear
iKingsky
Greg Homme
Covermale
Daniel Alexander
Magic Slik
Male Power
Joe Snyder
Andrew Christian
C-in2

This is only a partial list. I’m sure others here have favorites and other suggestions.

Hey Explorer, welcome and well done for wanting to try out thongs.

Think about wearing a shirt. There's lots of different makes and models and fits, right? With thongs it's pretty much the same. The only difference is that the fit is even more important since thongs are underwear. Not only that, but there are different factors that contribute to make a specific model of thong underwear comfortable or not; fabric, fit, type of stitching (which is soo important to make a thong comfortable in the backside). It took me some trial and error to find the models I like the best.

My advice is trying thongs from Olaf Benz. They're not cheap, but the quality is really great. They're one of my favourite makers and their products are comfortable for all day wear. Good luck!

Like the other members mentioned, try different brands and styles. I have a few thongs from jockey. My favorite brand is Obviously. The material is super soft and supportive and the back doesn't bother me a bit. Almost feels like I'm not wearing anything, but my crown jewels are getting the support they need.

We have all been down the same road that you have traveled. I would venture to say that most significant others did NOT buy our first thong for us. You should feel special that your significant other wants to see you in a thong.

Don't give up on them, you will find thongs that look great on you and will make you feel like you aren't wearing anything. Getting the right style and size is of utmost importance. This board is great to ask questions and get opinions on brands and styles. Don't be shy, share some pictures and ask some questions and everyone will be happy to offer their opinions and suggestions.
