Title: Swim thong
Post by: thongnz on October 17, 2020, 09:37:53 PM
Hi everyone. Just want to see what people have for swim thongs (thongs made for swimming/beach). There are a few out there I'm looking at. I'm wanting something that looks like a speedo style and nothing that too flashy (e.g. bulge pouch).

The only thong I own that is actually a swim thong is a Desmiit swim thong in light blue. I've been looking around and the Charlie by MZ Swim Thong (https://www.charliebymz.com/products/swim-thong (https://www.charliebymz.com/products/swim-thong)) looks like exactly what I want with the speedo style front. I'm also looking at Rick Majors Low Rise Swim Thong (http://www.internationaljock.com/rick-majors-low-rise-swim-thong-lemon-lime,63017.html (http://www.internationaljock.com/rick-majors-low-rise-swim-thong-lemon-lime,63017.html)), Gregg Homme Caliente Swim Thong (http://www.internationaljock.com/gregg-homme-caliente-swim-thong-grey,48776.html (http://www.internationaljock.com/gregg-homme-caliente-swim-thong-grey,48776.html)), Joe Snyder Polyester JS03 (https://joe-snyder.us/joe-snyder-polyester-thong (https://joe-snyder.us/joe-snyder-polyester-thong)) and N2N Bright Brushed Thong (https://n2nbodywear.com/collections/thongs-jocks/products/nt20-bright-brushed-thong (https://n2nbodywear.com/collections/thongs-jocks/products/nt20-bright-brushed-thong)).

I would say the Charlie and N2N are the least bulge/flashy. If Charlie was cheaper I would buy it straight away but it's quite a lot.

Any one have any other recommendations or own any of these so they can review?

I really like my Olaf Benz swim thong. They are not too flashy and the cut is great. https://www.deadgoodundies.com/olaf-benz-blu-1200-sun-string

I have the N2N Bright Brushed Thong. I am very happy with it. The color is outstanding. The fit is spot on.

I'm another Olaf Benz fan - their sunstrings are pretty much all I wear at the beach. Very well made, classic design and very comfortable.

I've always wanted to try the olaf swim thongs but I like having a drawstring and they haven't done one with a drawstring in a while that I have seen.

I have the ergowear swim thong in blue, pink and black and love them.  It does have a little bit of a bulge but not too much in my opinion.  https://www.ergowear.com/x4d-swim-thong-royal-blue/

Also tried the Andrew Christian Swim Thong this summer and it is one of the most comfortable thongs I own in general.  I believe it is completely sold out but if you can find one, I suggest grabbing it.  They made it in black and pink.  The pink can be a little sheer when wet.  https://www.andrewchristian.com/ultra-swim-thong.html

As for the Gregg Homme swim thong, I have the sea reef.  This model ran a little small and pouch is snug if that is what you are looking for. 

I do want to try the Charlie swim thong but the pricing is pretty high.  I have heard they are amazing, so next summer I may have to give them a go.

I’m another Olaf Benz Sunstring fan. They don’t have the drawstring but I’ve never had any issues while swimming or in fairly rough seas. I find them very comfortable and well made too.

I have a few from JOR and Ruskin which are well make and really comfortable.  My Desmitt has stretched a little but it’s not too bad yet.

Thanks for everyone's input! The more I look the more I think I should just spend the money on a Charlie Swim Thong. I wonder if they will have a sale soon.

The Charlie Swim Thong you posted a link to looks really nice and I'd say very similar in cut and style to the Olaf Benz sunstring. It might be because I'm in the UK and they adjust shipping but it was really pricey!

Do it! I am actually looking to get their swim thong as well. I think there will a sale near the end of November for Black Friday. Not sure if that is soon enough for you though.

Charlie is great, i have one but they’re super expensive. 

Manstore and Olaf Benz are some of my go to styles: https://www.olafbenz-shop.com/en/manstore-m800-tower-string-red.html

But spend time on that site.  You can check out Cocksox, Ergowear or this...Skinzwear:

I just receive a couple thongs from Timoteo. They are the Capri Swim Thong. They remind me of the Speedo design thongs of old. The front has about similar coverage as the Speedo ones and the back is a more conservative thong. The suit is lined with a black layer. I think they would be good for lap swims.

Ah those look nice. Doesn't look like they sell them anymore. It would make a good suit if the back was a bit skimpier.

They look like a nice design and agree they do look like a similar cut to the Speedo thong. Are they lined in the tail as well as the pouch?

Nice, do you have any images of this?

Just looked up Timoteo swim...came up with a rather sexy tanga....not a thong but love the front and side straps....the tie is very sport/sexy too.

The thongs are fully lined. It’s a black liner.

I have an ergowear bikini, a olaf benz, and a daniel alexander. I would say that I do like muscle skins custom swimwear for the smaller stuff. I normally wear muscle skins thongs when I swim in a thong. I like being able to customize the fit. I normally wear my muscle skins thongs under my bikinis for the support and or if I feel comfortable to just reveal a bit more.

Yeah unfortunately their size small tends to run out pretty quick. They ran out of small in the color I wanted as well so I bought mine off eBay. And yes, still extremely expensive for what is.

For swim wear thongs you can't go wrong with Skinzwear.  They are made as swim suits with a lot of fabric, style and pattern options.

I 2nd this comment. Skinzwear is among my favorite. Wore their M25U all summer long on my deck at home and it made for some nice tan lines. Sadly they are fading now.....

I have been a costumer of Skinzwear for longer than I can remember. I still have a couple of my original purchases. These two things have held up well with very little wear and tear obvious. I stop in the store every time I am in Clearwater, FL.

Now of my other favorites is Buffedbod, Hoist Thong. For me it is one of the best fitting swim thongs I own. And now I own several with different patterns and colors. Again I have a few things that are now more than a few years old and they look close to new.

Just curious if anyone has seen or ordered any from here

Still haven't worked up the guts to go out in a thong, but when I do, these look like the cut I would prefer. Wider sides, fuller front, thong back!

Never seen this brand - a bit of an awkward cut - the pics on the site don’t really look like the suits fit the models but i do like these 2 the most:

And i do have a coupe thong bodysuits that are t-shirts on top...never worn a 1-piece swimsuit but this is sexy

Which did you end up getting?

Not heard of this brand before but looks like they have some really nice thongs! I like the range they have going from the conservative fuller cut (more my style) to the strings.

Agree that they could be photographed better - the models are great but some of the suits are not fitting as well as they could.

I also love the look of that one piece body thong!

@thongdan I got the swim thong from Charlie by MZ. https://www.charliebymz.com/products/swim-thong-1

I've only worn Olaf Benz swim things before and this was a nice addition. Can't wait for beach season to return...:)
