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

Interesting story AZThonger! It's cool that you dad embraced speedos. I wish I had done swim team growing up and worn speedos at a young age. I didn't pick up swimming seriously until I was in my 30s. I'm curious, did you wear your thong swimsuit while on vacation with your parents in Hawaii?? Or hide it away for later?
That’s a whole other funny story. The first thong I bought I was by myself at the store. I didn’t tell my parents I got it. A few days later I was back at that same store with my mother. She knew/was supportive of me wearing my speedos/bikini brief style swimsuits. When she saw that same rack of suits she started looking through them. At one point she called me over, held up one of the thongs and jokingly said “How about this?” To which I replied with a straight face “Sure, why not?” She was a little taken aback but reconverted quickly and agreed “why not.” Said I already wore the speedos. So she bought me two of them. I never did tell her until a few years later that o had bought one a few days prior. I didn’t wear any of those things on that trip as her rule was that I could wear them by our backyard pool at home.
Wow! Very nice that your mom was so supportive of you wearing thongs. Thong underwear is one thing because no one really sees it. But thong swimwear, even if it was just at home, must have felt great to wear at that age.
I was definitely surprised/shocked by her open mindedness. But yes, felt amazing! Of course, all the other guys my age had no idea and I wasn’t comfortable about sharing it at that time. I kept it to the backyard and then the next year when I moved out and into an apartment I’d do “solo” missions to the pool there.

Three people had an influence on me as a teen as far as bikini briefs or skimpier colored briefs. My sister and her boyfriend who gifted me a pair of sky blue and white bikini briefs when I was in 11th grade. They were SO much more comfortable than traditional whites. I never knew underwear could be comfortable until I wore them. The other influence was my mom when she asked me when I was a senior what underwear I wanted since they were on sale and I said the colored ones which even though technically were low rise briefs were in reality a bikini with a bigger waistband
