Mens thongs are the most popular choice of strings and are distinguished from g-strings by having a much broader string or thong that is about ¾ to an inch wide and become broader toward the waist band at the rear.

Many people will be surprise at how popular thongs are amongst men, partly because many men who wear thongs are discrete about them, they don’t tend to stroll around in them in the changing rooms or have them on show above their trouser line (thank god), and therefore many assume that they are not popular.

However, let me assure you that thongs are one of our best selling styles online and match and even sometimes out shine the popularity of boxer briefs.

Sadly, most people eek at the thought of a man in a thong and yet fail to remember that most women don’t look too good in them either, unless they have a super model body. However, they are possibly the oldest documented garment of men’s underwear and date back thousands of years to times when vanity was not an issue and practicality and function prevailed.

Thongs consist of an elasticated waistband around the waist with a piece of fabric at the front to cover and support the genitals in a pouch, which then has a narrow strip of fabric (thong) that passes between the legs and buttocks to connect to the waist band at the rear.

It is believed that these are so popular because they do what men need underwear to do, and that is to support and control. One of the reasons they sell so well on line is because of the anonymity that shopping on line provides.

Note that whilst the image above and below both have fine thin string sides, the actual thong is as broad as the top image and is not a g-string.
