I want one

OK, I'm not ready for that at the beach (yet), but it'd be cool to wear it as underwear. I'm not a pouch fan (flat front is better).....

If you click on the small photos under the gaff photo, it shows a more comfortable fit when you order your usual size. That looks better for the beach and feels nice too. But the cold ocean water makes me look nice and flat-front, no loose empty pouch look.

I also wear a slingshot. I like mankini boat style. Very skimpy and very deep.

I too was a huge fan of the unique, over the shoulder, slingshot style thong and used to regularly wear one to the beach, sadly however all that changed when ‘Borat’ came along and ruined it all by wearing that ill fitting, bright green ‘mankini’ in his movie!!!

Having kinda fallen in love with the uniqueness of the style but quickly realising I could no longer wear one in public without ridicule I carried on wearing them as underwear.
Thankfully a few years later, a few vendors started producing some new styles that looked nothing like the ridiculed ‘Borat’ style so I started wearing them in public again.

To date I think the ‘Alter’ one-sided slingshot to is the best slingshot thong I’ve ever worn,
