I think I converted a friends 12-year-old into wearing skimpies

A place to talk about underwear in general that doesn't fit in thongs or bikinis.

Earlier this week, I got a bikini in from Temu. Of course, they sent me the wrong size and it was too small! I reached out to that same woman with the 12 year-old son... well this bikini was too small for him too, but his 18 year-old brother could possibly wear it. So again, I texted the mom and asked her if her older son might want it (I included a picture of the bikini). 2 days later, she responded with, "yes"
I know you have stated here several times that you are a larger framed guy who struggles to find underwear to fit, so it beggars belief that Temu's sizing is so off the mark, that a bikini you ordered won't even fit a 12 year old boy. :shock: Sounds like it's pot luck what you get when you order from them.

I've heard that vendors on Temu are known for sending the wrong item. I'm not buying from them anymore. I've had better results from AliExpress.

Your friend, the mother of boys isn't happy for this decision ;)

I don't think she's unhappy in regards to their choice and personal undergarments if that's what you're asking?

I was meaning that she's happy for the gifts for her sons, so unhappy because you don't more buy from a site that sends the wrong size.
Then no more items for her boys.
Sorry for misunderstanding

When I was 12, I put on an old speedo that I had outgrown a few years earlier. I liked the tight, skimpy fit, and I've been wearing the smallest suits at the Beach ever since. Now I'm an old guy, never any complaints either.
