I just recently got a pair of the new Joe Snyder Polyester thong. I got the JS03 Bulge thong in black, as the bulge thong is my favourite style.
If you’re not familiar with the Joe Snyder range then you need to know that the majority of their thongs (and other underwear) are made of a nylon and spandex blend (80% to 20%). It makes for a very soft and stretchy yet hugging fit, especially for the bulge thong. Nothing wrong with it, it’s actually a really nice material.
I’ve been swimming at a beach in the regular nylon blend and it makes for a very almost naked feel when swimming. I’ve always wondered how long this material would last in the sun, salt water, etc. So when the polyester model came out I had to buy it because that is more of a hard wearing (speedo type) material.
The polyester model swaps out the 80% of nylon with 80% of polyester, so has the same amount of spandex in it. First impressions was that I couldn’t actually tell the difference in material when I first pulled it out of the postage bag. It smelled like a fresh pair of speedos, if you know that smell. I had to go get my pair of regular nylon blend to compare it when. It’s definitely less shiny/glossy and feels most sturdy and slightly more course. It was actually exactly what I was expecting.
Next the fit. No surprises here, it fits just like the regular nylon bulge thong. It holds my parts snug and outwards. The material definitely has less give (stretchiness) so feels more secure and tight. I usually wear the thong around my hip bones and it felt tighter and more secure than the nylon pair, which I liked.
All in all, it’s the same great fit and cut, in a sturdier material. It has slightly less give than the nylon, but also feels like a material that is more suited for swimming in, and could last the elements more than the nylon material. As an everyday wear I’m not sure, I would say I would prefer the nylon blend because it’s softer. After a whole day in the polyester model, it was fine but I think the nylon pair edged it out. This is definitely something to grab for the beach or a day out by the pool.
I might head out to a beach with this pair today, and if I do I will update this review.
