The Bikini Thong Crossover

Post by RespectTheKini »

I have some skimpier bikinis that fit low rise, I pull them up and the eventual fit is like a thong. Or Tanga depending on the cut. Does anyone rock the crossover as I like to call it? With the right fabric I don't really feel as if it's all bunched up or anything. Honestly some pairs look great like this imo. Cheekies are sometimes just wannabe thongs lol.

Yes, I've got several different pairs of skimpy briefs that I prefer to wear as sort of thongs with a wide back, they are about 1/3 covering at the back, but are almost uncomfortable to wear down low, they are much more comfortable worn higher. And to be honest I think I prefer them as thongs.

I do as well. I've posted elsewhere about my frequent wearing of the Kiniki Kelly tanga, which is a half-back and can definitely occupy that zone. At this point in time, probably 2 or 3 times per week for a Kelly?

I don't currently but have in the past also had Daniel Alexander, Joe Snyder, and the much-missed PrevailSport.

A lot.of half backs or Brazilian backs typically become a thong as you wear them throughout the day. Ones that I find do that, I most often just turn them into a thong from the start.

Yes, I can see/have done that. The Kelly seems to stay in place for me pretty well (although I do get a wedgie at some point, which I tend just to ignore.) I started wearing halfback or even 3/4 back underwear a lot more when I was in grad school in the late 90s and early 2000s. It was just around then that I started to be able to access the non-store-bought brands, although I was a regular Joe Boxer string bikini and thong wearer for years, and those string bikinis tended to be a bit narrower in the back than what one would have normally encountered at a department store. I did have some posing briefs in the 90s, though, including when I "volunteered" as a sketch model and those were more like 1/2 to 3/4 back (and which were in regular rotation as underwear too.) One was reptile/snake skin pattern (LOL) and another was dark red with black stripes...

I like to wear snug flat-front "slingshot" low-cut Gaff Thongs, and the rear strap is much wider than a regular thong for comfort. That looks nicer at the Beach for people sitting on blankets as I roam around.

I am a fan of the Brazilian bikinis . I love the style and how they fit . You guys are right most end up being thongs at the end of the day .

I think the joe Snyder Capri falls into this category . It definitely offers more coverage on the model pictures than it does in real life . I was at a busy all inclusive at fuerteventura wearing a black Capri . I really had to firce myself to go to the bar to order drinks ! After the first two it was much easier to order the third . A little Dutch courage helped . I was pretty relaxed by the end of the afternoon . The next day I really could hardly believe how daring I had been !

I don't do beaches or pools -- nothing against them...just not my thing-- so I don't know firsthand, but I'm wondering if it's different to be out in the open wearing a Brazilian-back garment vs having it as your underwear and seeking to make an "adjustment." I have gotten so used to wedgies that it doesn't normally even register with me, but that's my experience. Others' mileage may vary!

Not quite sure I follow you . Are you asking does it feel different to adjust your swimwear in private compared with in public ? I know I like that kind of thing women do where they just tug their swimwear to widen it when they get out of the pool , looks cute .
