Thongs

Men's thongs and g-strings

A thong keeps the support up front and trims the back to a thin strip. Some guys wear men's thongs every day, some save them for a night out, and plenty pick up a gay thong just because it feels good. Here's how to find thongs for men that suit the way you live.

Choose by feel

Barely there: the Glide Micro Thong is a pouch, a string and a 1 cm waistband. The Flaunt Micro Thong goes thinner again, with delicate straps that meet in a triangle at the back.

Soft and everyday: the Team Cotton Micro Thong is ribbed cotton with a 1 inch (2.5 cm) metallic waistband. The You Bamboo Micro Thong is bamboo with a thin waistband and no-show coverage.

Sheer: the Casanova Thong and the Romeo Sheer Thong run sheer fabric from the pouch to a seamless g-string back. Both keep a solid, lined pouch up front.

Athletic: the Locker Room Thong has a striped waistband about 2.4 inches (6 cm) wide and a waffle weave pouch. The Reign Thong is quick-dry modal with a matching metallic waistband.

Common questions

Can I wear a thong to the gym? Yes. Look for a wide waistband and a waffle weave pouch, like the Locker Room Thong's, and save the sheer styles for after.

Which fabric works for everyday thong underwear? Cotton and bamboo are the easy picks for a full day. Team Cotton uses ribbed cotton and You Bamboo uses bamboo. If you'd like something silkier, modal is quick-dry, as in the Reign Thong.

How snug should a thong fit? Snug at the waist and pouch, with nothing digging in at the back. If the waistband rolls or the strip feels tight, go up a size. Every product page has a size guide.
