Share the Goods – Chris’s Collection Part 3
Here’s the third and final part of the long share the goods that Chris sent in. You can check out part one and part two.
Continuing with Japan is another brand called TXM. This company is also made by the company Turkey Co. This site offers almost only Thongs and Bikini’s for men with a very small selection of woman’s underwear. These styles are almost all very small and scant. When you compare these suits to North American suits it comfily looks like underwear made for kids and this company uses the strategy of using super stitch fabrics and stitching techniques that allow for a second skin like feel to most of the styles they create. A word of warning being a Japanese company the suits run a size or two smaller than North American suits. I have a 36” waist and some L sizes fit as long as it has the Extended well 5 star rating. If it’s lower then LL size would be similar to a size Medium or Large in North America.
Here are a selection of styles I have tried. As this site almost never makes the same style twice all these styles are likely discontinued but they have a vast selection of styles, material and colours so every month you come back to the site they have something new.

Next is not an underwear style but a brilliant swimsuit that I came across recently on Etsy called CA Beach Bum Swim. This designers suits use the same hidden seam designs as popular ladies swim bikinis but styled for men. As far as I can see it’s the only source for a men’s version. Most of the current styles are intended for a upward direction but it appears he is adding some downward pouches as well.
BeachBum Active Bottom – Palm Stripe
I ordered a size Medium With the Active back and a quiver front pouch as well as a blue version in a thong rear cut to try. The quiver is an interesting vertical slot that keeps everything in place. They also have a seamless front version and a pouch style. The bikini rear has a slightly cheeky coverage so the suit may not be suitable for some public swimming pools but should be fine at most beaches. I have also tried the thong version of this suit and it’s a lot of fun to wear but likely still not very accessible to wear in most public bathing spots.

- Nice soft fabric.
- Slightly tight fit due to the two layers and hidden seam design.
- No leg or waist elastics.
- No front pouch seam unless ordered with a partial one.
- I ordered an unusual option called the quiver that allows you to place your penis upward between two layer of material giving a very secure fit.
——————————
Now for two Discontinued style that I would love to see a designer or a company make again in the future.
Both are a thong cut and both employ a laser cut pattern with no to little leg and waist elastics.
Bros T-Back
First is a style has no leg elastic and thought they utilize connection sitting it uses panels to make the pouch fit without side gabs and due to the type of fabric does not fray and holds everything nicely. The company called Bros made by Wacoal I have included a link to the only thong they make now. It’s nice but the stitching is rough.

- No elastics
- Totally invisible under tight pants
- Similar to designs made for ladies to allow for seamless wear
- Front pouch keeps everything in place
- Downside is the stitching is very rough if made with softer smoother switches this would be one interesting design.
TXM seamless rear
My very last underwear is still one of my favourites but since it was discontinued several years ago I try to save them for special occasions.
Shown is a pair in pink that is a mostly seamless front with a small dart underneath for fit. Online the Bros design these to use elastic at the front to keep everything in place and a thin waist elastic to keep them snug. But the thong strap is totally seamless so if really feels like wearing nothing. The fabric doesn’t fray and feels very smooth. The blue pair have a seamed pouch front allowing for downward or upward wearing. I am not a big fan of front pouch seams but these really allow for a good sporty fit and very secure fit.
Anyways this is probably the longest Share the Good in history. But I feel like underwear choice for men need to expand further. Yes more companies are offering Thong, bikinis, g-strings and other checks cuts so many designers seem stuck in very traditional designs where more innovative designs allow for a much more interesting fit and look. I hope you enjoy this overview and maybe will give some of these designs and styles a try.
Hopefully everyone enjoyed the many pairs that Chris has shared with us. I’d like to thank Chris for taking the time and sending it in. If anyone else would like to put in a submission, check out my share the good post on how to join in.
Ways to Support The Bottom Drawer by Shopping
Some very unusual styles in your collection. Don’t think I’ve come across bikinis with no leg elastic. Sounds similar to those very skimpy high sided often transparent shorts that you see on ebay etc. The quiver pouch is another unusual addition to a swimsuit. Total opposite of the torpedo style where you point downwards.
TXM was one brand I used for a while until just recently. I agree with you about the sizing, and they only have M and L, plus the Asian smaller size generally makes it limited for larger men. The other issue I had was as you say – only a few items made and once sold that was that design finished.
The quality was good though, and they emphasise the stitching used, partly to emphasise the quality. Some good fabrics as well.
Some of their designs sit low, so how good they would be for day wear is another question. Photos are only on mannequins unfortunately, but they do show the rear.
It’s so interesting to see what other guys wear. I’ve got a few pairs of bikinis and thongs without leg elastic, but they’re not my favourites as my bits tend to fall out…..
I’ve been aware of the TxM brand for a while now, but their website has me completely bamboozled, its so hard to navigate properly, shame they don’t spend a bit of time and money making an “English” version of the site. What I have discovered though is a Chinese knockoff off TxM just called TM on AliExpress. I’ve probably got about 15 or so thongs and G strings from them, quality, seems OK and they’re cheap. I’ll definitely look out for the seamless rear thongs. Thanks for sharing Chris.
