1) I have purchase my wife Skims, and the quality, durability, and comfort is pretty good. It's not expensive, but it is not cheap either. The fabric feels really comfortable. Highly recommend skims, and the Fits Everybody line is not too feminine presenting, so it could work if you want a string bikini or a g-string that lacks feminine detail. Great for workouts as well. It looks like they have a lot of size options up into plus sizes.

Skims Fits Everybody String bikini (it does not have as full a back as some bikini's - it's more like a tanga cut).

I tried one of these on once as my wife was getting rid of hers as it did not fit her after a weight fluctuation. A larger size would have fit me, and it would have been comfy (though I don't wear women's underwear).

Fits Everybody T-String Thong (larger front that would be suitable for many - very stretchy).

My wife really likes these as well.

The Micro thong is sexy as hell but waaaay too small in front for those with penises; though, though it's a great present for a partner!

It also looks like they have a cotton String thong; though, I have never purchased one of these for my wife:

2) I have purchased my wife Aerie G-strings and string bikinis, and they are super comfortable. She likes these along with the Skims, and they are great for workouts. She wears smaller sizes but it looks like they have up to size XXL, which should fit as some tend to run one size bigger, so you might size down.

I have purchased these for my wife, and they are very very comfy she says and are more neutral:

They had a string thong mesh version that I purchased some for her that she liked, but I don't see those - Those were super stretchy and could accommodate male anatomy.

IT also looks like they have a cotton version, but no idea about their comfort:

3) I'm about a 39.5" waist, 195, and Men's Doreanse size L and XL fits me - I would opt for XL.

Hope this helps!

Thanks for you review of the Skims thongs. I've been keeping them on my radar since they often have nice sales. I'll pick some up soon.

I have a bunch of the aerie smoothiez thongs and they fit great. My normal size works fine.. In my experience if you size up in womens underwear they end up eing 'baggy' around the crotch area and start to hang out.

If that is their only alternative, then they should not be criticised for their choices. My concern would be with guys who are within regular sizes and are spoiled for choice in skimpy men’s undies, but choose women’s. This is NOT a dig at cross dressers or guys with a panty fetish! I only highlight this because every purchase of a female garment is potentially one less for a male underwear manufacturer, and if we all went down that line, many would go out of business. We know from other posts on this blog that several highly regarded companies have gone to the wall, so those that are left really need our support! Once again can I emphasise that these comments are not intended to cause offence to anyone reading them.

When ordering women panties to wear for yourself, pay close attention to the fabric. Panties made of cotton don't have much stretch to them, Neither does silk or satin. Anything made of Modal, tactel, Neoprene, nylon, lycra or spandex are your best bet for wearing good-fitting panties!

I'm always looking for the 'stretchy' material. But the silk, satin, and lace stuff is so fun to own and wear too, but just not recommended for all-day wear.
