The Bottom Drawer Forums

I got my first swim briefs when I was about 20 but would only wear them when no one was at the pool in the gym (which wasn't often). By 24, I was wearing them openly on vacation, but still pretty conscious at the gym. That was about the time I stopped wearing the board shorts and were speedos only ...

This summer I was in Vegas with the GF and for the first time in her life, she wore a thong to the pool. Since she did it, I did too.

Being a more… European clientele… hotel, no one seemed to make a deal of it. She was hardly the only female, but I was certainly the only male, wearing one. It was ...

Not that the number up here in the Tundra was huge, but most years I see ZERO guys at my beaches wearing anything other than the Dork Shorts. However, this year I saw two other guys in actual Speedo/Arena suits and one guy wearing a strong thong.

Compared to the last 4 years that’s more than I’ve ...

Inside for cleaner lines, but I had had outside as well. Preference is for inside, though.

Growing up as a teenager in the 90s, if you saw a Frederick's Of Hollywood catalog you saw thongs being marketed to men and women equally, so it was out there just off the mainstream (as thongs generally were at the time). Looking at the music magazines like Hit Parader or hair metal music albums ...

I use cockrings when I'm at the beach. My swimwear is all contoured/enhancement style with a pouch designed to push out and not down. The rings take care of that nicely; I told my GF that its' like a pushup bra for your junk. I'll wear two 2.3 inch silicone rings with an Ergowear X4D and sometimes ...

Availability is my first big pet peeve. So many brands are constantly sold out of L/XL which tells me that they should increase production on those sizes.

Since 2015 I have worn the Joe Snyder Pride Frame thongs almost exclusively because I have not found anything that comes near it in all ...

Amen to that!

I’m not sure how I’d like that metal clip. Are you having any issues with it? Does it look OK when worn?

No issues for me; it feels normal and looks good.

Tons of things!

They match my body type and accentuate it. I have an athletic build and thongs enhance that look where baggy boxers/clothes hide it. I wear tighter and tailored clothes so wearing boxers under fitted pants would bunch up. A thong disappears into the pants and makes it look sharp ...
