I know the UNB community is a huge fan of thongs. I’ll admit that I wasn’t until fairly recently. It was the hardest underwear stigma to get over as a straight guy. I could wear pink briefs, but thongs felt like a bridge too far. I was afraid to wear the same underwear style that my girlfriend would wear.
When I was 16, and my underwear interest was starting, I was much more willing to experiment with underwear. I heard about the Joe Boxer thong multipack at Kmart and bought a pair. I still remember the woman checking me out who said, “hmm… interesting choice.” I was embarrassed and threw out all the pairs after trying them on. Until about halfway through college, I stuck to boxer briefs after that experience.
Side note: those Joe Boxer thongs were great pairs of underwear, considering they were sold at Kmart and were inexpensive. Excellent material and a surprisingly comfortable pouch. Almost bikini brief style if anyone else remembers them.
Once I overcame the mental barrier of wearing thongs during college, my other issue with thongs until recently was that I never found the right pair until recently. Thongs can be some of the best underwear, but if you get the wrong team, they can be some of the worst underwear. For example, if the fabric strip between your legs is too thick, it’s very uncomfortable. I remember wearing a pair during a final exam in college. I was sweating, and the strip was chafing me. Not fun!
I wonder if other straight guys have had the same issue. They are willing to try thongs but unsure about the best pair. That’s why UNB is so helpful to guys! Maybe I’ll review a few pairs in the coming months.
I’ll talk about some of the brands and pairs that have recently changed my opinion on thongs. We’re in a golden age of thongs, and brands like MeUndies releasing thongs are starting to attract more straight guys to give thongs a shot.

thank you for writing this!
The Zonbailon bamboo cotton thongs on Amazon (3-pack is about $26) completely changed my perspective on male thongs. I still have an underwear/panty interest that goes back to my adolescence, but the Zonbailon thongs are simply about staying comfortable and cool when it’s hot out and I’m going to be moving a lot.
I’m a straight and married guy. I prefer wearing men’s thongs, they eliminate all the extra material and offer great support for my wedding tackle. I can echo that the wrong fit will not end well. The strap should naturally sit in between your cheeks, but not Chafe. I have found the summer code mesh thongs from Amazon are the best
Husband to my very sexy wife and father to my incredibly beautiful children. I’m a fully licensed armed security guard by profession. I drink beer, eat steak, and shoot guns. I have the ultimate dad bod, the complete package.
Since my youth, I’ve always had a fascination with thong underwear. Like many young men, I grew up fantasizing about pretty girls in skimpy underwear. My highschool sweetheart, who is now my wife, wore thong panties, exclusively. This helped transform my fascination into a full blown thong fetish.
I began wearing thong underwear soon after graduating highschool. My very first thongs were a pair of Emporio Armani men’s thong underwear from Macy’s. Sadly, those thongs were very short lived because my overly possessive mother found my new thongs and disposed of them. Presently, I’ve collected enough thong underwear to wear a different thong everyday of the year, plus a few extra. To this day, those two thongs were some of the most comfortable underwear I’ve ever worn.
As for my current lineup, my top three brands that I keep in daily rotation are JOCKEY, ZONBAILON, & PAPI. These three brands offer some of the very best men’s thong underwear available on the market for much less than their competitors. PAPI, being the more affordable of the three, is a very good starting point. This brand uses very soft cotton that helps minimize chafing yet still durable enough to wear daily. ZONBAILON thongs each cost about the same price as a 3-pack of PAPI thongs. This brand utilizes fabrics made of bamboo to manufacture their men’s thong underwear. I was a bit skeptical at first but once you wear bamboo, you’ll never want to wear anything else ever again. Last but certainly not least, JOCKEY men’s sport thongs are my current go-to daily underwear. These thongs are the more expensive underwear of the bunch, yet, still quite affordable. This brand uses stretch cotton which, other than woman, is God’s Gift to mankind. I’m currently finishing up a 12-hour shift with a pair of these under my uniform. I’ve worked 24-hour shifts in these before and have never had an issue with chafing or irritation.
I’ve been wearing thong underwear for 20+ years now and never have or never will go back to boring old boxers/briefs.
Tbh, the very best part of wearing thongs is that my wife gets extremely aroused whenever she sees me in a thong. Happy wife, happy life.
