Why do people wear thongs?
There are always questions around the thong. It is one type of underwear I’ll say is misunderstood. I’ll also say that all thongs are not created equal. Some fit better than others and it also seems to vary by person to person too. However you came to this post to know why people wear thongs. Let’s take a look at some reasons.
Thongs – No Visible Underwear Lines
Let’s start with what I’m going to call no visible underwear lines over no visible panty lines. Thongs are not just for women. I feel this is a reason you often hear why people wear thongs. Some people don’t want to show underwear lines under their tight fitting clothes. They want a smooth rear look. This is more so under their dress clothes. So they opt for a thong or a g-string for underwear. For me this isn’t really a reason I wear thongs. The next reason is really what should be the main reason for wearing thongs.
The Comfort of Thongs
You may find it hard to believe that thongs are comfortable. But they are! The fabric between the cheeks is deceiving. It’s not going to feel like it is cutting you in half or a full blown wedgie. It’s possible to not even notice the fabric between the cheeks. It’s all about finding the right fit.
It is true that not all thongs are comfortable, but you should be able to find a comfortable thong! I’ve got plenty of them I find very comfortable for all day wear. I have tried some that are not comfortable at all. Then some that are initially comfortable, but as the day goes on they just aren’t cutting it.
There are factors that make a thong comfortable, but really it comes down to the particular person. Here’s some things to pay attention to when buying a thong. First is to pay attention to the size chart and make sure you buy the right size. The width of the tail or back strap can be a factor too. Some find string backs are more comfortable, but some find they cut into them more. Some like the wider straps and some don’t. So you might want to start with something in between. I like to suggest a tail around an 1”. A factor that goes along with the width of the tail is the fabric. Some wide tails can be very comfortable with the right fabric. Then the cut of the tail can be a factor in the comfort of the thong. So the point of where the thong starts Ying off can affect comfort. Hopefully, you can find pairs that have reviews written about the thong, so you can get a better idea of some of the things I’ve mentioned above.
Thongs Support
Well, this one is for the guys, since women aren’t exactly going to get the support that guys are going to from a thong. Typically, it is the jockstrap that is suggested for support especially for athletics. For me, high school gym class killed the jockstrap as an option for me. I have no interest in them even with the introduction of fashion jocks. I feel the support you can get from a thong is excellent. The pouch helps keep everything in place, no side to side movement, and gives a lift with the right thong.
Freedom of the Thong
Want less restrictions then check out a thong for some freedoms. First you have rear freedom. Allow the buns to breathe on those hot days. No restrictions around the legs. Don’t have any tight elastic clinging to your quad. Not having underwear leg openings digging into the quad is a big reason I moved to bikinis and thongs from the so called ‘traditional’ men’s underwear.
Thong Show Your Body in a Different Light
Obviously thongs show off the butt, but it does more than just expose it. Aesthetically, I feel the thong accentuates the butt better than say a no underwear butt (naked butt that is). I think having the fabric there breaks things up and showcases the behind better. I’m partial to the traditional thong back look. I feel it frames the rear in a nice way. The pouch cups a guy’s package nicely and can give you a fuller look in that area. With the narrower sides, your legs are on display and can elongate and make you look and feel taller. Plus more freedom of movement as already mentioned.
It’s Fun Wearing Thongs
My opinion is that underwear is fun. There is such a variety of cuts, fabrics, colors, patterns out there to try and explore. It’s nice having a variety of thong styles and other underwear styles to mix up what you are wearing. They can make you feel sexy and isn’t that fun? There is that saying “variety is the spice of life.” So spice things up by adding a thong to the underwear drawer!

Well, there are some thoughts for you on why people like to wear thongs. Thanks to some of my followers for chiming in on why they enjoy wearing thongs. Are they for everyone? Probably not, but many have been surprised by the thong. Finding the right one will be a game changer. Don’t dis them until you try them. If you tried them and they didn’t work for you then I commend you for giving them a whirl. Stay tuned for a couple longer responses in my next post.
Ways to Support The Bottom Drawer by Shopping
Do any of you thong supporters wear them during the day, and then also when you sleep? Have any of you experienced issues with skin tags resulting from very regular wear of thong underwear? I am curious..
Thanks.
I’ve had skin tags over the years, but certainly not from wearing thongs or g-strings. Keep in mind I only wear g-strings for sleeping. My skin tags have been in areas not covered by underwear of any sort.
If this is something you have got, are you sure it’s a skin tag. If scrotal, it could be a scrotal cyst.
I have never had any skin tags caused by wearing thongs. Maybe you should see a dermatologist to find out what’s going on.
I love wearing thongs and G strings, I started wearing them 40 years ago with a Hom Freddie G, although I liked the idea and the look and the size, it was the most uncomfortable g string I’ve ever worn which out me off for a while. When I was overseas, I found a shop that sold silk g string and was hooked again. I really like the comfort but most of all the feeling of wearing something so sexy. Over the years I’ve become a bit of a fanatic about sexy undies, I now have over 200 strings and thongs, I wear them all the time, except at night when we sleep naked.
I’ve got over 300 bikini briefs as well but I mainly wear G’s or thongs, in all styles, see though, mesh, ice silk, micro, wide bands, string, Y backs, wide under string, and real strings.
I’ve started wearing them to the beach recently which I get a big kick out of. I also wear them exclusively to the CrossFit gym we go to.
I love that others can see my string under gym pants if they look.
I love wearing thongs; so comfy. Good support in front, far more so than traditional men’s baggies! And they do make the legs look a bit longer. I’ve been wearing them in my local swimming pool; not had any objections.
Thongs and G strings are the hottest thing!! Sexy,, revealing, great support and no tan lines. I have 50 to 100 G strings, thongs and bikinis. Less is More. Hang in there and show us what you got!!
Awesome post. Obviously a lot of folks here are already thong fans. It would be great if more folks who don’t already wear thongs read this. If I was on the fence I’d definitely try out a thong after reading this. Nice job!
Thanks…the hope is the ones that do not wear thongs find it!
Men have been wearing thongs for thousands of years. From Spartan warriors to Samurai.
I can think of many reasons why people wear thongs/g-strings. There is that feeling that you’re doing something quite daring, certainly for a man, and the thrill/fear of getting caught. They are less likely to show through light coloured clothing and give unsightly lines. They are fun to wear and make you feel sexy(even if you don’t have a gym toned body). They can add spice to your love life. They don’t take up much room in a suitcase. They can double as swimwear and dry quickly. You hardly know you’re wearing one if the sizing is correct, and once it’s in place, they tend not to move and give you a wedgie like some bikinis do.
I agree with you T , there is something daring when wearing a thong and certainly get a thrill when wearing or even purchasing them !
Totally agree with the thrill when buying and wearing a swim thong. At the beach, I take my cue from the females. If they are wearing thongs or cheeky bottoms, I wear a thong. If not, I wear a brief, which is also fun. Usually, it is the only brief on the beach.
Where can I find out when and where there are events that have a free community outdoors that allow man to open up and wear their underwear{Thong-like style}
Just underwear you mean? There are various Gay and Lesbian Mardi-gras, but they seem to be more about the participants showing their “gayness” rather than deliberately showing underwear.
You might just have to try a small gathering, like a weekend lunch, where it’s arranged that you all strip down to underwear (making it known beforehand that is the intention). You’d want to know who your guests are, opening something like this wide open to any-one and every one could lead to trouble. I’d be interested in something like this, but only with people I know, or who are known by the host.
I don’t think there would be many public events like this. But I could be wrong. These events would have to be open to all, and I suspect that many women would not feel comfortable. You would also likely find them spoiled by the exhibitionist types who are more interested in themselves rather than others or the underwear.
You might have more luck with a swimwear event, since swimwear is designed to be worn in public compared to the more private nature of underwear.

One more thing from discussion this morning. See if there is something like a semi-naturist group, meaning people who don’t want full nudity but would be happy to be with others stripped to underwear.
I checked some in my area and it seems none is interested in just semi-naked. It’s full nudity only. All also stated adult couples only, so no children (one even said no grand-children) and singles were not catered for (exhibitionism was mentioned by one).
So Kai, you might have to try an organised event as Jason mentions, or just host your own private party. With the latter you’d be free to do what you wish.
I agree with the above , thongs and g-strings have been game changer for me . I love the style , how comfortable and supportive they are .
Are you going to be reviewing Bodyaware’s new activewear? I am curious about it.
I haven’t been offered it to review as of yet. Some of it is tempting me, but not sure I’m ready to splurge on it
Wearing a thong is like having my lover’s hand on my ass constantly. I can feel her, and I know she’s there with me. every time I stand or walk, I am reminded that she’s there with me and every time I feel her presence, it’s like she’s saying, “I’m with you, I love you and I will never leave you!”
I concur with all the comments on here – thongs are comfortable, stylish and fun to wear. I think if more men tried thongs they would see the light!
