Proactive NSFW due to underwear discussion.
Calvin Klein, 2 Xist and even Jockey make thongs for men. Is this a niche product/market, or an untapped goldmine?
I’ve tried a few different brands and am arguably a convert. I personally don’t wear slacks or more office oriented clothing, so the thinner fabrics aren’t a huge concern for my undies lines or lack thereof. The support is pretty solid, so that helps. Main drawback in my opinion is the stigma that remains attached and equates to either thongs being either strictly for women or gay men.
What say you?
I would say men have been wearing thongs for many years now, there’s nothing “new” about that. I have personally never worn one because they look incredibly uncomfortable. Quite frankly I’m not even sure why women wear them, but if that’s what you want to wear then go for it dude.
I had a girlfriend who said, to her, they were way more comfortable than the ring around her thighs, and she liked that they made it so she didn’t have panty lines through her clothes.
That’s my thought, as well. Where is the benefit? I see literally no upsides to a thong for any person.
There are benefits, for example if you walk a lot it chafes less than underwear that is somehow attached to the legs. Also, in the summer less is nore. … but, like briefs, it can be uncomfortable. They look better tho, depending on taste of the viewer and your body.
