I think I bought my first thong about 15 years ago. I am not sure what prompted me to get it in the first place, but I would say this first thong did not do too much for me. I found it tight and restrictive. Regardless, something about it stuck with me. Maybe it felt transgressive, or somehow linked to something sexy, a feeling or look I wanted for myself. Even after this first disappointment, I continued to buy thongs from time to time over the next few years, usually at discount clothing stores. For those first attempts at wearing thongs, the feeling stayed the same; I wanted to like them more than I did.
And then I discovered the developing industry of men’s underwear online. These first thongs I purchased were made by very mainstream underwear producers, and were probably made to respond to an emerging trend or to see if they could fish out some new customers. Regardless, I understand now that they were not made with quality fabrics or with any sensitivity as to how thongs should be shaped, cut, and designed. Once I found some good thongs online, I finally understood what I was looking for in this first attempt.
A good thong should fit snugly, but not be at all binding or restrictive. They should be made with high-quality fabrics that hold their shape after multiple uses and washings. And they should be cut and shaped to fit a man’s body. There is also really no denying that recent developments in the fabric industry have brought great new things to underwear. I think good fabric for thongs is essential – I like them snug but not at all restrictive, with a smooth and sexy fit, but still with a bit of breathability to keep things feeling fresh and clean.
Once I found good thongs, tepidly they became part of my rotation. I might wear a thong once every 6-8 weeks, and most days I probably wouldn’t even wear them all day. I think much of this was mental, and it took me some time to overcome the inherent stigma many attach to men in thongs. But the industry kept growing, thongs kept getting better and better, and I finally understood that wearing them was important self-expression for me.
Today thongs make up about half my underwear draw. I don’t wear them every day, but I do every week. And I have come to appreciate them for a variety of uses and activities. The right thong is perfect for yoga, and I love to wear them while sleeping. Both my partner and I find them super sexy, so they are great for date night!
If you’ve never tried a thong, I would love to encourage you to try them out! They make me feel confident, sexy, and playful. Most of all, with the right fit and fabric, they can be extremely comfortable. If you are new to wearing thongs, I might suggest you start out with one of my favorites, the Sleek Satin Thong. And if you are interested in one a little more bold or daring, I am so happy Body Aware brought back the Invisible Shaper Thong – this one is super sexy and minimal, and gives a great lift to your goodies! I for one am happy to see how pervasive thong underwear for men has become, and hope more and more of us can be bold and confident enough to wear them proudly!
Signing off for now!

Enjoyed reading this thread about other men that like wearing thongs and g-strings. I had several back in the 90s and had a few put away. After many years, I tried them on and loved how they felt. Of course, they were too small so I ended up buying some new ones and have been wearing a g-string all day every day. I love how they feel even when they’re a little snug. I guess I like things that are considered taboo!
I love wearing a thong. In the 90’s I bought my first 4 pack of thongs in high school and craved wearing them 24/7 but couldn’t always pull it off. Presently, I don’t own any underwear that isn’t a thong or g string. Wearing thongs is an important part of my own self expression and identity, I enjoy that ultra naked feel under jeans or just lounging on the couch. I like the way they look. Thanks for making them for us guys
My feelings for “thongs” are just a little different. For a while, while at work, I had to wear a jump-suite with no pockets on the rear. Because I have always worn women’s nylon panties, this was no longer possible because my panty lines would be visible. So I had no choice but to try a thong. At first, I said no way! However, I found that with a thong, the panty line was “no-more”! It took a while to get used to it and after a while, it was not a problem. I no longer have to wear that uniform so of course, thongs are not in my panty drawer. Just not for me. I will say that I LOVE the color of the thong the model is wearing in the above photo…lavender!! I would buy that thong just for the color alone! By the way, it was good to read that Tom was buying his first thong from the Regency Square catalog at the age of 14. I too, used to but sexy underwear from them as well when I was younger.
To thong or not to thong? Stupid question! Thong away! The Rip Stop Thing in yellow is a show stopper! The fit is great and my partner knows there will be some lovin’ that night when I put it on! All manties have a place and a time and the thong, to me, means sexuality. Just make sure to manscape properly before! No need for the fur to be popping out of the front or have too much fuzz in the back!
A good thing is hard to find but the Rip Stop is a good one, as is the glossy satin thong that just came out! I am curious about the Uni-string model in the erotic section. Has anyone tried it? I imagine that could be super cool to wear under the work clothes. The Rip Stop is also a good swim option but I have not been brave enough to venture down that road just yet! Maybe with time! Body Aware selection is always great!
