Men’s Underwear Guide — Thongs, G-Strings, Jockstraps

Here comes Part 3 of our Men’s Underwear Guide!

And arguably, the sexiest part of this series! We’ll be talking about thongs, g-strings and jockstraps, which probably have the least amount of clothes in the whole underwear family.

Mind you, having least cloths doesn’t mean that they’re any cheaper. Probably the opposite will be correct. The undergarment business, gah. Also note that this time the Comfort rating is pretty low. Meh, those that look good are never comfortable.

For those who doesn’t know, this is a series of posts that will help enlighten the guys (and some girls) about the types of men’s underwear out there, when to wear them and when NOT to wear them.

Guys, peek and learn! Girls, tell your boyfriends! Gays, start drooling! I really mean it this time!

Thongs

Thong -- Men's Underwear

Comfort: *
Practicality: **
Style: ****
When to wear it: When you’re doing a strip tease
When not to wear it: For God’s sake, forget about wearing it!

Thongs are sexy. Well, at least that’s what the media tells us. It’s a piece of cloth covering your precious nether regions and revealing everything else. That’s about it.

The truth is, the most obnoxious thing about thongs is the back of the underwear. Look at that, a strip of line running in the middle of your ass crack. Imagine how does it feel when you walk around and it grinds against your backdoor. Especially if you have a hairy one. That is like, ungh.

Sure, it’s nice to look at. If you’re a stripper or a sex industry worker, well maybe it works for you. But definitely not for us everyday average joes that needs to do much other things.

G-String

G-String -- Men's Underwear

Comfort: Nonexistent
Practicality: *
Style: ****
When to wear it: When you’re doing a strip tease
When not to wear it: You might as well don’t wear anything.

The designers who make thongs must’ve think that they have not created enough evil in this world yet. Then they made G-strings. Seriously, it’s probably the most overrated piece of undergarment for men. Not to mention overpriced as well. It’s awfully impractical. I really get the impression that it might snap if you move around too much with it. Well, that’s if you ever want to move around in it.

G-strings are nice to see, well, for some people, anyway. Considering the price you need to pay for this luxury item, it’s what it is, a luxury item. Or maybe it works as a fetish item for some people as well. Hmm, now that’s one more value for it that I can think of. Anything else you can come up with?

Jockstrap

Jockstrap -- Men's Underwear

Comfort: ****
Practicality: *****
Style: ****
When to wear it: When you want to hold your balls when you exercise, or when you’re doing a strip tease
When not to wear it: Hmmm… Good question.

Apparently, jockstraps are designed for jocks who want to hold their balls while they’re exercising or running around, and have minimum impact and grind anywhere else. Thus it has two straps that straps onto your thighs and covering the balls. While it does look pretty gay, well I mean, you know, it looks like it does provide easy access to some activities of which I’ll leave it to your imagination, it is actually more comfortable and practical than you might first thought.

Firstly, there’s no annoying string grinding against your arsehole when you walk around in a jockstrap. And jockstraps are actually pretty comfortable to wear as it covers very little of your skin, giving you the ventilation you and your millions of potential-kids need while preventing the sac from slapping around. And guess what, no undie lines. You can wear them with almost anything, even the thinnest of pants and you won’t see a thing. Maybe your ass crack if you wear a light enough pants, but you know better, right?

Jockstraps are actually pretty comfortable and practical. But not all guys can accept it due to the gay-ish connotations. Who cares, as long as it feels good, you wear it inside, who’s gonna see anyway? ;)

This is all for our Part 3 of Men’s Underwear Guide. You think that’s the end? Think again!
