Newbie to thongs and g-strings

[CrossfiThong]

Hello guys,
I see guys, telling to your wives about this things is important, well, I’m sorry because this kinda ideas of thong on man are weird was really put on their minds, is not their fall.
But if you are brave to tell them, eventually they are going to accepted because it’s not a big deal.
Are you guys wearing speedos at the beach or pool?

I don't think it's a matter of time that requires getting used to wearing them. It's about comfort. If you get a comfortable thong, it will go unnoticed - like wearing nothing at all. If you are experiencing digging or re-adjustment then you are not wearing a proper fit.

When I started wearing them, I bought high-end ones and they were never an issue of "getting used to". Actually, when I ran marathons I would only sweat from my a**. I did go to the doctor and was told that each individual sweats from different areas of the body. If I found it a problem (the sweating) the doctor told me to wear underwear that has "less material on the back" or don't wear any. I took that advise seriously and switched to thongs/g-strings only.

Wear what you want and don't think of the wife's acceptance as a "project". That is the wrong way to introduce YOUR choice of fashion to her. Also, on another note, women have taken the thong too far... supposed to NOT show VTL (the intention of the thong), but they do it to show that they are in fact wearing a thong! It has become a fashion statement... my wife does it and doesn't care if others notice it. So the avoidance of a granny-panty has now led to a fancy V line that is intended for show - unintentional or not, I don't know, but that's up to the individual's choice and the viewer's perception.

@kenadam I’ve tried a few thongs and can’t seem to nail the comfort factor down. I’m getting close and will try some others.

You nailed it here:

“Wear what you want and don't think of the wife's acceptance as a "project". That is the wrong way to introduce YOUR choice of fashion to her.“

I always wear what I want, but it is still going to take some time for me to get used to wearing them and get through “that” awkward stage. As I stated in a previous post, the bikini and thong conversation is a little awkward for me. We’ve been married for almost 20 years and have a very open relationship, but can’t put my finger on why it is awkward.

I’m in the same situation. It’s awkward bc of stereotypes surrounding thongs, and because it’s rare (supposedly. I think it’s more common than we realize).

To get confidence to have the talk I think, ‘what if she came to me and said she wanted to wear boxers?’ I wouldn’t love it, but after a while I’d be used to it. I wouldn’t tell her to not wear them. I wouldn’t be less attracted to her.

My wife and I talk about everything. I guess I’m nervous that she’ll be turned off. I really can’t put a finger on it.

Hello, probably more straight men wear thongs than you realize. My wife doesn't currently wear thong underwear, but she is okay with me wearing them and says one day she'll try them (she did wear them when she was younger). Your example about your wife coming to you wanting to wear boxers, well my wife wanted to try womens "boy shorts" when she was pregnant - she thought the extra material would be more supportive to her legs and such during those months. Anything to make her feel more comfortable, especially during those 9 months, I happily bought her a few pair. she wore them some, but ended up not liking them - she said they had too much material and were restrictive. Another reason to give thongs a try, there is less material and less restrictive.

I’ve tried g-strings and thongs and realized they are not for me. I still want to get my wife into me wearing bikinis. She’s always found me attractive in trunks though. I still can’t put my finger on having the the conversation with my wife. I read your recent post here:

Good going on having the conversation with your wife. Not sure if you’ve read my previous posts. My wife knows that I wear bikinis, but she is not into me wearing them when we get intimate, etc. We’ve never had a deep conversation about undies, so I planning on initiating it...

Adams sorry to hear thongs didn’t work out for you; agreed they aren’t for everyone. Just curious if you tried different brands or styles because I’ve learned some I don’t like and others I love. Sometimes you have to try different ones to find the one.

No worries at all! I’ve tried only one brand, my go to brand Gregg Homme in a few styles. I am good with my bikinis. I’ve got a huge assortment of them. Some really skimpy ones and even some that are borderline fetish wear

[David_NC]

If you really want to add thongs to daily wear there are some other brands that may be more practical. I have one Gregg Hom g-string and while it is comfortable I wouldn’t say it is “practical” for every day wear, due to its mesh material. I know several here like mesh and it does have its place just for me I prefer other options.

Surprised to hear that the Gregg Homme g-strings didn't do it for you. Some of my favourite and most comfortable strings are Gregg Homme,so maybe you were just unlucky with your choices. Mind you,I did buy a Gregg Homme thong some time ago and I found the tail became very uncomfortable after a few hours wear. At least with the cheaper brands you don't take such a financial hit when they don't fit. It would be more painful if you spent 25 pounds or dollars on one item that was uncomfortable to wear.
