HOM is probably amongst the more well known brands in this forum, but I thought I'd chime in with my thoughts on a few of their thongs. As you know, HOM is a French brand that's been making men's thongs for a long time. Interestingly though, it appears they no longer stock Jockstraps. Over the years, i've had the opportunity to try out many of their products, including three types of thongs.
HOM Plume G-String
This is probably HOM's signature thong and nowadays, only comes in four colours. It is made with polyamide elastane, giving the fabric a smooth, silky feel. Unlike a regular g-string though, this one comes with a thong back as opposed to a narrow string. I really liked the minimal look of the thong, which I thought looks appealing from all sides. I also liked that the string waistband did not bunch up, making it nicer for longer use. The front pouch was rather nicely sized and fit my package well, and the thong back was a nice width, ensuring comfortable use. I overall really liked this thong.

HOM Freddy G-String
Compared to the Plumes G-String, this one has a relatively more conservative thong-look, although the back strap converges into a string towards the bottom. This thong is made with the same silky smooth material as the above, which I thought is very nice. I liked the look of this thong as well, although I found the pouch to be a bit tight on the package, and the string to the rather short, giving it a rather chafing feel on the back. The build of the thong is relatively nice, although I found that the back string frazzles easily after several uses.

HOM HO1 Thong
I got this thong at a department store during a trip to Taiwan, but it looks like this product is no longer stocked by HOM. This thong looks exactly like a run-of-the-mill thong, made of a cotton material and with a normal thong back. It looks rather nice, if not a bit normal, although like the Freddy G-String I found the pouch to be tight on the package. The material didn't feel very elastic either, so the thong back did start make me feel sore after several hours of use. The quality of the thong is very nice though, evident from excellent stitching and keeping its shape after many uses.
