Why Men Should Not Be Scared To Wear Strings & Thongs!
The rise in popularity of men’s thongs has led to a change in the way we look at our underwear selection; let’s be honest – y-fronts are ugly and boxers may not offer the support that we require, so let’s look at some of the reasons why men should wear thongs.

In fact, the thong is a logical design for men’s underwear, given the anatomy involved; the shape of a thong manipulates the man’s genitals very well and gives a perfect hold to all the parts involved, while also providing a great level of comfort that is not provided by other types of underwear.

In addition, if you are one who likes to wear tight jeans, and many of us do, then the thongs will give you a neat and free from lines look that cannot be achieved with other, more bulky types of men’s underwear.
There are health reasons why thongs are recommended, too, as the design means that they will keep the body parts they cover cooler in warm weather; moisture and heat can lead to infections, and thongs actively work against such.

Thongs are also inexpensive and very compact, and hence ideal for travelling with as they pack away easily, but above all they are very sexy and the styles, colours and ranges available from some of the world’s most famous underwear manufacturers at the moment makes the men’s thong the item of choice. Fashion, remember, does not stop with what you wear on top, as it continues beneath, right down to the skin.

I tried thongs about a decade ago and have to say they are simply the most comfortable and supportive type of underwear I have ever worn. If you have not tried them I would recomend them unreservedly. Debenhams seem to be the only UK retailer to offer a range on the high street, which are good. I have also tried HOM thongs with Lycra and they are very comfortable.
I believe we need to fight back against this unfair image of thongs as a “female orientated” type of underwear. We guys have more to support and a greater need for tight fitting underwear, but the more popular hipsters and boxers either offer no support or hinder a guy with huge swathes of sweaty material which is just not required.
Try them once, get used to them and I swear you will never want to wear anything else. It’s not a gay or straight, male or female thing, just pure common sense!
Sorry. Not comfortable. The bum strap irritates the freckle, and the pouch is inadequate.
The most comfortable underpants I’ve tried are almost impossible to find: trunks with a flat front, NOT the kind with a pouch. Any makers listening? Commando isn’t always appropriate.
I agree completely with Mark. I tried thongs out of curiosity a few years ago and found them to be extremely comfortable. I think that any man who tried them would consider ditching his old underwear and wear them all the time.
I am a happily married man. My wife wears thongs because she finds them sexy, practical and comfortable. I wear mine more exactly the same reasons.
I tried a thong once and it was a most uncomfortable experience for me. I prefer something a little more substantial like regular white underpants. Also I prefer to tuck my shirt inside my underpants and you definitely cannot do this with a thong
although if you could it would certainly solve my problem of always having my underpants showing.
Having been wearing thongs for over ten year i can thoroughly endorse the pro thong arguments.Aafter an initial adjustments they are very comfortable and supporting. Also my partner enjoys the presentation and insist on a quick floor show every morning.
ive been wearing HOM plumes now for nearly 1 year and i think they are the best thing to wear .they feel greatall day long , i wish ide found the heart to wear them years ago ,just pluck the courage up guys and tell your wifes that you have got a femenin side , my heart was racing when i showed her mine but she loves them and i cant get enough of them, what other brand would any of you recommend or are hom,s one the best.
Leigh, I’m totally with you where Hom Plumes are concerned. I wear thongs and g-strings all the time and have done for years and the Plume is the best. My wife totally loves them too – most women are supposed to hate to see a man in a thong but I think mine would leave me if I started wearing boxers! Gregg Homme t-backs are another favourite of mine.
It certainly is a nervous time when your tell the woman in your life that you wear thongs but the response from my wife when we had not long met was that she didn’t expect me to wear them but that they are sexy.
For those that find them uncomfortable, try a g string with a very thin string. They are much comfier.
How snug should the bum strap be right after putting them on when standing up straight? Should it be resting on the anus? How high should it ride up when bending? I want to make sure I get a proper fit.
I agree with all the pro thong aurguments here…. Ive been wearing thongs for a few years now and my wife loves me in them..
My favorite brands are hom and clever…
I bought my first thong when I was 16. Now Im 24 and I wear mostly thongs. They are great if you find the right brand and sizing for you. Otherwise they can be totally uncomfortable.
My major concern was telling my girlfriends.. but only two of them ever new. My actual GF loves it, and she even buys them for me.
I started wearing thongs and G-strings about 2 years ago. The brand I first bought were the hom plume and they are the most comfortable and best supporting underwear I have worn at that time and brilliant while I’m working out and running. Another brand I have is MaleBasics. Their micro-thong and V-string are so much comfortable and better supporting than the hom as they are made from microfiber. I usually wear them all day/night and during sport activities and long distance running. I have even had girlfriends commenting how sexy they look on me. My confidence has never been so high especially I have been sleeping with more girls than ever before and they keep coming back for more. I also find during the hot weather that I am not sweating down below like I used when I was wearing boxers/briefs… especially when I’m running…
i’m pro thong, i have been wearing them for at least 10 years my wife loves the look of me in a thong and regulary buys them for me at xmas and birthdays etc. My advice to those that find them uncomfortable is that you have probably got the wrong size, or you have bought the cheap tacky posing pouch type thong so try buying a bigger size from a proper manufacturer. Hom are mine and my wifes favorites and i have a large collection of the plume and fruits of temptation ranges, these are so light and supportive yet you can’t feel that your wearing them. It would be great if thongs for men became more mainstreem and available on the highstreet so try them out then spread the word.
I have worn thongs and strings now for ten years. The wife made me wear a thong when I had some White trousers and used to go clubbing years ago. They are so comfy but you got to get some good ones. The cheap thongs will hurt you and rub. It took me a few days to get used to the string rubbing but went really quickly. Have a few pairs of boxers but thongs and strings most of the time. The wife always gets me ace looking ones!
I have worn thongs for the last 11 years and I would not wear any other type of underwear as I find boxers, y fronts, trunks etc uncomfortable and warm. Stupidly jokes are made about a man wearing a thong potentially insinuating that the guy is weird. I wish many more retail outlets would sell them at sensible prices as some on line shops can be very expensive. My female partner thinks they are sexy and I feel good, secure, comfortable and sexy wearing them. It is important to get the right size (big enough) but sadly too many have not been tried and tested by men and are uncomfortable which would obviously put any new wearer off. Persevere to find the most comfortable pair and you will love them.
I been wearing thongs now for about 15 years and I love them. I find them to be completely comfortable and supportive. Thongs are the only way to go men. Don’t know em till you try them. Plus it does always add a little extra spice to bedtime. The only problem I have with them is sometimes they peek out the back of my jeans and I give a show. But, the man in my life say who cares if they show it’s just underwear.. Now if I can only get him in a pair.. lol.. Thong on buddies…
i am all for thongs for men. that said i will say that i wear tanga briefs also though only ones made by obviously for men. they have a kind of amazing stretchy pouch which really supports whilst making you feel as though you are wearing nothing. i have these in the thong version as well.
i tried my first thong at age 25 and i bought it from british home stores in hackney.
i was hooked on the amazing support offered by a thong ever since.
not all of my girlfriends have liked the idea to be honest, actually my now wfe hated them at first but now tries to encourage me to wear my thongs every day as she likes me in them.
the only reason i dont wear them every day is that they tend to show at the back of the trousers i have to wear at work.
for this reason i am pro thongs for men but when its appropriate.
i am not ashamed or embarrassed if someone knows i wear a thong though i dont feel that it is right for me to wear it when it may show and offend others.
I have been wearing thongs for a wee while now and have to say they are the most comfortable and supportive type of underwear I have ever worn. If you have not tried them I would recommend giving a go. Unfortunately however, male thongs have somewhat of an unfair image as they are often considered to be “women only” underwear. However, I find that unlike regular undies they don’t get as sweaty and are great not just for everyday wear but in the gym also! Get the right pair and you should have no prob’s. Happy shopping
