Coming from Australia, I think it's far easier for us (me) to normalise wearing a Speedo, or brief style, swimwear. They are part of our DNA. Speedo (the brand) originated in Australia. They were far more commonplace in the 60', 70's and 80's.
Right now there's a growing trend for men to return to ...

When Wicked Weasel first began, they did a Men's thong. I recall it being a string sided thong with a clip side..???
They discontinued it fairly early, and then refused many requests to do them again apparently.

I believe Microminimus was started as offshoot with a more 'naughty' line, and with the ...

Just about everyone I know...
Certainly all of my family, neighbours, and most of my friends, have all seen me in them while in our pool or at the beach at some stage.

I have worn thongs/g-strings 100% of the time since I was in my late teens (got my first ones at 17, so probably from 19). I'm 55 this year.

Open to ideas.

Hi Australians,

Sunday is looking great for a day at the beach, so I am keen.

I live around the Newcastle NSW area, so anything from the Central Coast to the Myall area isn't out of the question. Thinking of taking the paddle board out.
Anyone else keen?
Happy to just be on the same beach as one ...

I've worn nothing but thongs and g-strings for years, including to doctors, skin specialists, and all manner of health professionals, as well as for any massage, chiropractor, osteopath etc where you can't go nude.
It's my every day underwear, and I don't own anything else. I'm shaved all over (head ...

21st June is the Winter Solstice - there's a few cold water swims around the country to acknowledge it, including one in Tasmania
