The Bottom Drawer Forums

I have to say that at the moment I'm not really happy with Jockey's designs for men's underwear they seem to be hung up on designing stuff that's high waisted and really big! I don't know what Jockey's fixation is with big underwear for men?!

I just ordered a couple different Jockey styles this weekend. The True Style cotton blend and the Microfiber Thongs. My wife prefers me in something more pulled together and fuller coverage in front. Fingers crossed I will enjoy wearing them. My modest current thong collection is a bunch of slimmer cut Iking sky and various Shein items. Goal is to find a good middle ground.

Rows and rows of boxer briefs of course and some regular briefs. Then I saw the stability pouch thong hanging on the wall. Further down was the microfiber 3-pack thong and the string bikini. I do not need anymore underwear, but because it was in the store and available I bought the 3 pack thong and string bikini. I’m glad to say that Jockey had thongs in the store and available for purchase. They were limited on color but still glad they were there.

Thanks to this thread I decided to head over to the Jockey Outlet store in my area. I had been multiple times before but was always disappointed with their selection. I hadn't seen even a bikini in years in the store, much less a thong. I think the last time I went was over a year ago and I decided it wasn't worth a trip back.

I ended up having a similar experience as you. At first all I saw were boxer briefs and briefs...nothing I was interested in. Then I saw a row full of the stability pouch microfiber thongs at the front of the store. They probably had 8 or so different colors there. They also had a few jocks and some string bikinis as well. The thongs were next to the register and on the top row so there there was not going to be any discretion when looking at them. It was a good opportunity to be bold and not care who saw me

I was more than happy with the selection but then also stumbled on the 3 packs of the microfiber stretch thongs as well (as well as string bikinis). I certainly don't need more underwear but everything was 60% off and I don't mind supporting more thongs and bikinis for guys in stores. I ended up grabbing 3 stability pouch thongs, 1 string bikini, and a three pack of the microfiber stretch thongs. I keep my underwear to myself and would rather not people know what I wear but it was kind of fun seeing the clerk lay out and fold my thongs before placing them in the bag. If you like the Jockey thongs and are near an outlet, it's worth a trip in even if you've been disappointed in the past.

I was traveling for work this past week and noticed there was a jockey outlet store not far away. I decided to stop in and see if they had men’s thongs in the store. The men’s selection was next to the cash register and lo and behold there were sport stability thongs prominently displayed on a wall hanging display right next to the register. I sheepishly wandered over, walking past an older couple competing their purchase. I cautiously looked at the wall to see if my size was available. I was so anxious my heart was pounding. Moments after the couple checked out the store associate, a nice middle aged lady, turned to greet me and asked if she could help me find my size. It was comforting that she made the experience normal. I picked out a couple of the sport stability thongs which were on sale (they had eight different colors displayed). Just as I started to calm down a couple middle aged ladies came into the store as I was grabbing the thongs I wanted from the wall display. I got slightly embarrassed when the sales associate said to me “if you like to wear those thongs, we have more thongs at the back of the store on the clearance rack”. The ladies that had walked in the store both clearly heard what she said and I saw they had curious smiles. At this point everybody in the store knows I’m a thonger. I slowly calmed myself down and wandered back to the clearance rack. The modest embarrassment was well worth it. I was thrilled to find a sport stability microfiber thong for 4.99 and a 3 pack of the cotton true style thongs for 3.99. Grand total for 6 thongs was $32. And I really like each of these jockey styles. I know the wider waistband is not everyone’s favorite because it is a chunkier look, but it stays in place even with tight jeans on and is very comfortable. These are worth checking out. Thrilled to find thongs in a brick and mortar store and have the guts to handle being outed as a thonger. It was an exciting purchase! My first and hopefully not my last brick and mortar thong haul!
