Proactive NSFW due to underwear discussion.

Calvin Klein, 2 Xist and even Jockey make thongs for men. Is this a niche product/market, or an untapped goldmine?

I’ve tried a few different brands and am arguably a convert. I personally don’t wear slacks or more office oriented clothing, so the thinner fabrics aren’t a huge concern for my undies lines or lack thereof. The support is pretty solid, so that helps. Main drawback in my opinion is the stigma that remains attached and equates to either thongs being either strictly for women or gay men.

What say you?

    I think Calvin Klein’s thongs are very comfortable and stylish without veering into the usually flagged for gay Andrew Christian or Nasty Pig branding. Your milage may vary, I’m saying this as a bisexual man, but I get a lot of compliments from women on them too.

    For the exclusively straight men out there, lemme tell you that if you got a good butt, flaunt it. Modern quality underwear does a great job of supporting and showing off the package and a lotta ladies love butts. I wouldn’t wear a thong with my work denims, that can be a lil rough on the cheeks, but fashion jeans with any amount of stretching material or a softer fabric mixed in, or slacks, etc. will be quite comfortable, just make sure you get the right size as a small one will bite into your groin and hips.
