Thanks Tanga Tanga - I've not read that blog post yet... I'll go and read it next. I started reading the posts by going back to the beginning and work forwards, and haven't made it to present day yet, but that's my task over breakfast today!

Nate started the blog in 2014 and the forum in 2018,so you have a lot of reading to catch up on(lol). I hope you'll agree that he's done an amazing job at keeping it going and has covered just about every topic imaginable within the confines of the subject matter.

More fools them! The Gigolo really was/is a nice g-string - and in nylon was versatile enough (IMHO) as under- or outer-wear. The whole company seems to have lost its way.

Yes! I wholeheartedly agree that he's done a fantastic job - and he has the perfect balance of interesting articles on his blog and some of the nicest people posting there and here on this forum. His rules about not posting photos in here and also requiring people to join to be able to post seem to be a winning formula.

It feels like I've come home!

My first bikini...well, I'm going to date myself on my very first post. Assuming the traditional Speedo isn't what we're talking about, I was wearing those for years, but I was 17, bought a Bravos brand bikini underwear at Montgomery Wards. It was an ugly yellow, but there wasn't much selection. I was nervous has anything, but paid cash and dashed home to put it on. I eventually bought another one, an ugly brown.

Here's a catalog page, it was the one on the right:

I 'inherited' a couple pairs of bikini underwear when I was 12 or 13 from someone who'd bought them but didn't want them. When I wore them it made me feel sexy. I used to put on a pair and then climb out of my bedroom window and sit on the roof of our house in hopes someone would see me (though to my knowledge, no one ever did). Beginning of many years of being a bikini exhibitionist!

My first bikini was the jockey elance. I purchased them from the herbergers store. I started wearing these bikinis in my mid twenties . I always wanted to try them sooner , I guess it was a mixture of being shy and living in a smaller town with not a lot shopping options. It then slowly progressed to the Hanes and Jockey string bikinis.

My first bikini purchase was 20 years ago at TJ Max. It was during my first year in college, I had just turned 18 and was buying my own underwear for the first time. It was a Calvin Klein grey Sports string bikini. I actually still have it and wear it from time to time. It has held up well and is still in decent shape. This purchase started my love of men’s string bikini underwear that evolved to different brands and are one of my favorite underwear styles to date.
