Share the Goods: Mike’s AliExpress Tangas
I do love brand name undies, probably my favourites are Gregg Homme and Cocksox, Daniel Alexandre is up there too. I tend to favour undies, like Gregg Homme that are very stretchy in all ways, especially in the pouch so it stretches with me. For me, the common factor of their bikini briefs is comfort, although I have a preference for small verging on the micro, very soft materials and often see through or semi see through materials.
Lets face it, Gregg Homme and Cocksox are pretty expensive, especially if you come from Australia, postage rates are often more than the actual thong or bikini I’m purchasing. So in recent months, actually over the past 2 years of covid lockdowns, I’ve been looking online for some cheaper alternatives. There are heaps of online stores that maybe sell a thong for US$15, but can be bought from AliExpress for maybe US$5 or even less. I quite enjoy hunting down a bargain, I know I can find for less elsewhere.
One such tanga bikini is from AliExpress, they had the ridiculous title of “Sexy Bikini Thong Men Mini Underwear Bulge Pouch T-back Ultra Thin Underpants G String Jockstrap hombre Briefs Lingerie” at least they didn’t label them gay bikinis! These undies cost A$4.20 each which is about US$3.00.
When I first saw these I thought I’d order some and see how they went, I’m 6ft 2″ and 220 pounds (I’ve done the conversion, normally 1.88M and 100Kg) so I bought the XXXL size, which is usually the size I get when purchasing from an Asian website. (They just don’t get big American or European sizes) At first they only came in black, grey, white and nude, so I bought one pair of each, then they introduced some more colours, red, navy, blue and orange, which I also bought. (I have bought some that are XXL size, they’re OK, but then to be more of a thing than a Tanga)
I love these undies, they’ve got a nice pouch, well enough for me, maybe ¼ inch sides and a very small behind. I normally prefer something that covers my behind a bit more, as these tend to ride up slightly and become more of a whale tail thong. But I don’t mind them as I have a lot of thongs that do the same thing. They are really well made and of very good quality.
I’ve worn these tangas to the beach, under jeans, under shorts to the gym, just everyday walking around. I’m always aware I’m wearing them as they feel so good, really soft and stretchy ice silk material, the lighter colours are slightly transparent, but not too much. Nothing you couldn’t get away with on the beach, just don’t go swimming in them!
I’m not sure I’d change anything about them at all, I just love them, I’ve purchased them three times now.
My wife love them and I’m more than happy for her to see me walking around the house, If people popped over unexpectedly, I’d be OK if they saw me in them, but maybe I’m a bit of an exhibitionist, I used to be a little worried about who saw what, but these days, I’m of the opinion if they don’t like it, that’s their problem, not mine. I’d not be too keen to wear them on a crowded beach with kids around, but a sparsely populated beach would be fine. In which case, I’d probably take them off all together.
I want to thank Mike for joining in on the “Share the Goods” series with a pair he enjoys from AliExpress. If you would like to share some of your swimwear and/or underwear, contact me to submit them. Read the post on the general guidelines here.
Ways to Support The Bottom Drawer by Shopping
Great addition to the Share the Goods feature, Mike. Before I became almost exclusively a wearer of G-strings, I had lots of tangas similar to the ones in your review, mostly by Kiniki. I guess in my quest to eliminate vpl under white shorts and light coloured trousers, I had a clear out of my underwear drawers and gave most of my tangas to charity. Much as I loved many of them, I did get annoyed when the rear would start to move and give me a wedgie. On the rare occasions when I do put on a tanga, it feels weird having material covering my butt and I’m much more aware of it than if I’m in a G-string. Having said that, I did check out the website that Mike highlighted and I did like the look of his tangas. The pouch is very similar to a G-string, and I liked the string sides and narrow seat. However, in the pics included by customers, I noticed quite a variation in the butt coverage, but I’m putting that down to the anatomy of the guys and the sizes they ordered. By the way, Mike, I’m guessing that was you, or more specifically, your butt, in the blue one(lol).
I think I might be tempted to order a few just to see how well they stay in place.
Hi T,
Yes that is my review it in the Royal blue showing my rear, posted 22 Dec 21.

Hello,
Since it is a question of ALI EXPRESS, I am sharing with you my briefs that I selected there after many trials and tests before finding the ones that I like to wear… I put the non-selected in bins recovery of fabrics and clothing.
The last brand I discovered is CMENIN, I buy these two models from them :
https://fr.aliexpress.com/item/1005001952297804.html
Here is a small boxer with narrow sides and a cheeky back: it shows half of the buttocks. Its back (or tail?) is not narrow, it folds into the line of the buttocks, which makes it extremely comfortable.
The front feels a little short when you put it on for the first time but the fabric stretches quickly when you put it on. It is a kind of Modal.
https://fr.aliexpress.com/item/1005001935035815.html
In the same brand here is a thong with a particular shape: The front pocket is large and has absolutely no seams and yet it holds well.
The tail is nice because it doesn’t get caught in the crack because of the upper back that goes high towards the waist and provides good support. It is very comfortable provided you position it well if you want the balls to remain well maintained. Its fabric is soft, it is a microfiber resembling Modal.
For this model like the previous one, size XL is good for Europe
https://fr.aliexpress.com/item/33046944686.html
TRENDY: This was my favorite cheeky mini boxer before I discovered Cmenin’s (above). I’m still happy with it. The sides are wider.
It is very comfortable and feels like a thong when worn. The front is big and a bit loose but the fit is ok. Synthetic fabric. Note that exceptionally for China, the size is large which means that I had to take L while in Europe I buy XL!
https://fr.aliexpress.com/item/33033300981.html
JORION MIA: It’s a little jewel sexy: a bikini in a very fine and smooth “silk milk” fabric edged with very fine seams, yet it has good support. The front seam is discreet. The back is narrow – half covering – it can be worn as a bikini or a wedgie.
This model also exists in a thong, I do not recommend it because the tail relaxes and the support at the front is no longer good. It also exists in a bikini with a more covering back, it is also very good. It is very stretchy and size XL is good for our standards. If you wash it in the washing machine it wears out quickly and the bottom seam can come undone. It is better to wash it by hand or buy a small stock, it is not expensive.
Finally, every time I order my briefs on Ali Express I do not fail to strongly protest in my comments when they qualify the thongs and bikinis as “gay” or even “sissy” clothing (for Cmenin’s thong)! I denounce this sexist and discriminatory attitude! Do the same if you order from them!
Jordan,
Thanks for your reply, I’ve got a few of the last pair you listed, very comfortable for me p, perhaps a bit loose around my bits, but I love them.
Santé
Mike
I have posted quite a few reviews of underwear I have purchased from AliExpress. I hope some of those inspired your reviews!
Hi Jason
Where can I find these? I have taken a break from Aliexpress since the pandemic hit. When imports resumed the shipping costed thrice the price.
Go to the forum for this blog and read my reviews.
I post under the name “JustSomeDude71”
Cool thanks so much
Here is the link to the review section of the forums. He has some in both the bikini and thong section. https://forums.the-bottom-drawer.com/viewforum.php?f=14
Hi Mike
Thanks so much for the great review.
SM_Thongguy, thank very much, you’re more than welcome, looking forward to writing sone more reviews.

I’ve looked at the website mentioned, and agree these look good. They look very much like the more expensive Groovin Store ones I wear. The string sides and shapely back make them look good. The pouch seems to be a bit smaller that what I currently have. These look like they would be good for string bikini beginners – cheap enough that if they don’t work then no great loss.
SM_Thongguy, thank very much, you’re more than welcome, looking forward to writing sone more reviews.

DonS,
Exactly, they’re cheap, if the don’t work out for you, no great loss.
