Men’s Underwear

We get guys asking us all the time where are some great places to thong for the first time. After years of doing the blog, having great thonger friends, and the Thong Podcast, I have compiled five public locations where you can wear a thong and not bat an eye. 

These five locations consist of nude or gay beaches and allow people to be themselves and not judge others. Thongs can feel free to relax and not worry about negative comments about wearing a thong in public. 

Haulover Beach – Miami

Located in metropolitan Miami, just north of Bal Harbour, Florida, Haulover is a nude beach run by the Miami Dade Parks and Recreation department. 

Each year, the Sunsplash guys head over to Haulover to partake in the beach’s sun and fun. We have had many guys tell us this is one place they felt comfortable thonging for the first time. 

Address: 10800 Collins Ave, Miami Beach, FL 33154

Blacks Beach – San Diego 

Black’s beach is a nude beach located beneath the bluffs of Torrey Pines on the Pacific Ocean in La Jolla, San Diego, California. Getting to this beach is a bit of a hike, but from what guys have said about it, it’s well worth the trek. 

Black’s is similar to Haulover, a nude beach, but any swimwear goes here. JayinCa, who was on the podcast, got up the courage to thong here first. This is the beach he felt most comfortable. Dropping his shorts and allowing him to take his love of thongs to the next level. 

You also see so many pics on social media of guys in thongs on this beach. Even our own Erik goes here on a somewhat regular basis to thong! That makes this an excellent place to try a thong. 

Hollywood Beach – Chicago

Hollywood (Kathy Osterman (Hollywood) Beach) is a gay beach located at the northern end of Lincoln Park. This beach, unlike the other two, is not a nude beach. However, it’s known for guys wearing swim briefs and has recently become a great place to thong. 

Our on Chris goes here regularly in the summer and has spoken several times on how the number of thongers is growing. On the podcast with John, he took the plunge and went there for his first public thonging! The beach is welcoming to all.  

Las Vegas Casios – Las Vegas

When I mention Las Vegas, my favorite city, it may seem crazy that you can get away with thonging by the pool. But, we have had so many guys tell us they thonged in many of the hotel pools, and there were no problems. This would be a location for those who are a little bolder because there may not be any other male thongers around!  

Some of the places we know guys have thonged are: 

  • Flamingo
  • Luxor (Temptation Sundays)
  • Wet Republic
  • Caesars
  • Linq. 

I’m sure you can do more, but we have seen guys posting pics poolside or telling us they were thonged and had no issues. 

Puerto Vallarta

Puerto Vallarta is a resort town on Mexico’s Pacific coast in Jalisco state. PV has become a very hot gay beach. This is an excellent option if you want to go out of the country and try thoning around no one you know! 

However, it’s not the cheapest option. But if you go during one of the Holiday weekends (Labor Day, Memorial Day, ETC), you will be surrounded by many guys thonging or in swim briefs. With that many guys wearing smaller swimwear, you will get lost in the crowd, and no one will point or make snide comments about a thong; you will fit in quite nicely. 

These are by no means the definitive locations for first-time thonging. I would welcome any suggestions you have for our readers. These five have come up over and over in the past. Please send us your suggestions or experiences thonging for the first time at any of these locations. 

We bet you’ve got a bit of a wild side.Almost everyone does.

So, strip down and show off your wild side in our WildStripes collection.

We set a fun multi-colored stripe pattern on unbleached premium cotton and spun in a little elastane to give it some stretch for superior fit and feel.

The brief, low-rise trunk and boxer brief are all trimmed in a cool blue hem and set below our signature logo waistband. Grab the matching tank top for lounging around in style too.

JOR Is a brand that has really come on strong in the last few years. They were always around but they were just “ok.” In the last few. years they have brought their A-game and made such amazing prints, colors, and fabrics. This new collection keeps building on the previous collections with continuations of the EROS line and introduces new pairs.

One area I think that JOR is severely underestimated is in their Activewear. They make some really great runners, joggers, tanks and shirts. I don’t see a lot of it in the marketplace. They make traditional black but have made some amazing colors. However, I’d love to see their prints in activewear! Here are some of the new JOR for you to consider.

Over a week ago, I learned that Joe Snyder was ceasing production for a “personal reason.” And they are selling off their entire stock, according to an email Andy shared with me. (see below)

I haven’t posted anything about it because I have been trying to reach out to several of my sources to see what is going on. I mean, it would be a shame for them to end entirely, we have had so many iconic brands in the world of undies go out of business, and for many thongers, this is not good news.

The first person I contacted was unaware of the email or the cease of production. They had no clue what was happening or why it was happening. This person deals with Joe Snyder directly. I reached out to a few other people, and it was a mystery as to why it was happening and how long it will last.

Let me be clear I haven’t heard anyone come out and say the brand was closing for good. However, if you want Joe Snyder and love it, buy it now because I have not been able to get a time frame for when it will be back in production. Many love the brand, and it’s your go-to thongs. I was going to suggest alternatives, but thongs to many guys are personal and have specific criteria they want in the thongs.

As I find out more info, I will share it here and on my Twitter “UnbTim.” If you know anything about the brand, email me or hit me up on Twitter. We have lost UnderGear, Prevail Sport, and more! Let’s hope we don’t lose another iconic underwear brand.

In the meantime

  • If you love the brand buy what you can in your favorite style or color
  • Prices on eBay will go much higher than they currently are after production stops
  • Follow me on Social and I will keep you posted with updates as I hear them
  • Shop smaller stores for Joe Snyder, they may have inventory longer than larger brands and the official sites (the.com and US sites)

There’s a sign in our office that reads, “If you’ve got it, give it Baskit!”

Get your mind out of the gutter…when we talk about “it” around here, we mean a real zest for life – a desire to reject the norm and put yourself out there. But sometimes even the best of us need an attitude adjustment.

We need something that reminds us to accentuate the positive when we start our day.

Our X collection is that little nudge. It’s designed to put some of your best assets forward. So, slide into a pair of X, step in front of the mirror, and remember that you’ve got what it takes to make today count. X…your day starts here

If you want to look at your best for autumn, here are some perfect recommendations to build new outfits from the inside out. On with the show!

Bluebuck – Green Briefs

We will start with the newest arrival in store, the Green Briefs by Bluebuck. There have been a lot of talks lately about climate change and what each one of us can do to ease the situation. How about we start with a few pairs of eco-friendly underwear like these from Bluebuck? Made from organic cotton in facilities that get their energy from renewable sources, these briefs feature a green body with a navy blue waistband. The Green Briefs are the UK brand’s take on mid-waist fitted briefs. These briefs are made from Global Organic Trading Standards-certified organic cotton, with some elastane added for stretch and a great fit. The beautiful green of this garment is perfectly combined with a navy blue waistband made with at least 60% cotton in a herringbone knit pattern with the Bluebuck logo centred in the middle. Bluebuck only uses the finest cotton yarns to knit the fabric for their timeless briefs. This explains why they are so soft and long-lasting, retaining both shape and colour for wash after wash. Bluebuck underwear is made in an eco-friendly Portugal factory that uses electricity from renewable sources. Price: €26,£21.86,$26.45

Marcuse – Maximo Briefs – Blue

Our next recommendation is one more sexy pair of underwear, the blue briefs Maximo with an adjustable pouch by Marcuse Australia. Tradition meets contemporary style in the Marcuse Maximo Brief.
