Thong Material


Thongs are available in a wide variety of materials, including fleece, silk, cotton, satin, nylon, and lycra/spandex and are also available in maternity styles. Thong underwear for males has been compared to an athletic supporter as they both provide support while using a minimum of fabric, though the typical athletic supporter is not a thong as the straps at the rear are not at the garment's center.
For obvious anatomical reasons, thongs for men are cut differently than thongs for women. Some still consider the male thong to be associated with gay men, but attitudes are changing as more and more young men embrace thong underwear. Thong underwear for men is becoming widely available with most of the large retailers carrying a selection.
A string tanga is a type of tanga swimwear which has the waist band replaced with strings which are tied. The g-string is one extreme variety of the thong. Retailer FreshPair defines thong as "An underwear style for both men and women with a thin fabric back that rests between the buttocks" whereas a g-string is "A panty with a very thin (string-like) band of fabric in the back."
