First Impressions
It’s brilliant to see more big names in the underwear world choosing to design men’s thongs. Kim Kardashian’s company SKIMS expanded to offer a line of men’s underwear, including a thong, and I can’t be more excited to see them being offered.
When I first took these out of the packaging, I noticed right away how incredible the material is. It is very soft and literally glides across the skin. The pouch and waistband feel substantial, and the stitching looks neat and consistent all around.
Comfort & Fit
The Pouch
This fitted me really well. It has a nice amount of room without sacrificing support, so nothing felt squashed.
The Back Strap
It’s very comfortable against my skin, but it feels a little too long. To make it feel secure, I end up pulling it higher than I’d usually wear a thong, but doing that means the pouch doesn’t sit right. If I let it sit in a normal position, the back strap shifts around a bit.
The Waistband
The elastic waistband is so soft. Honestly, the materials chosen throughout this garment are outstanding. It stays put where it should through the day.
Adjustments
Because of the back strap moving, I never really forgot they were there, but I also didn’t have to constantly adjust them.
Everyday Performance
I found that these work really well for driving or sitting for long periods. However, because of that slack at the back, they aren’t great for walking or moving around.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- Incredible Material: So soft and smooth with a really nice, firm stretch.
- Great Design Elements: The pouch fits well and the waistband is incredibly soft and secure
Cons
- Strap Length: The back strap length just doesn’t work well with my body
What I Would Change
They are good, but I just wish the back strap was shorter. I would reduce its length by about 5cm to allow the stretch fabric to sit securely between the cheeks.
Final Verdict
I wouldn’t buy another pair of this specific design, but I would definitely buy different designs from SKIMS in the future. I want to support larger brands moving into men’s thong products.
