Thongs

[thisweirdthing1985]

nice thread. I also love thongs. I don't wear them as underwear, but have some thongs (underwear) in my collection. It feels great and sexy.

I have thong underwear and lots of thong swim suits. I wish speedo still made that thong. Sometimes you need a conservative thong for the beach! If you have a great ass show those cheeks!

Great to have been introduced to that Speedo (but sadly no more it seems)

Bryon, can you tell me how to post some of my own pictures on a post. Not just a picture from some web site.

The Speedo thong shown above is a swim thong as opposed to a fashion or underwear thong. A swim thong is made from the same fabrics as the manufacturers other brief swimwear eg Lycra, the stitching should be done on the same machines as their other products and look similar.
A swim thong should have waist elastic and also leg elastic, so there should be 2 strips of elastic and the rear fabric running through the ass crack. A swim thong should have a pouch front (created by sewing 2 front panels together along a convex curve), you will need a little more space at the front of the thong than a smooth front would allow.
A swim thong should stay on when you are swimming in a pool or even a quite rough sea, but as with other speedos you would need a waist cord to tie if you intend to dive.
It actually feels good to swim in the sea in a thong, you are kept in a skin tight pouch at the front while the water flows over you at the back. I once went to the beach near Sandwich in Kent with a friend, I arrived in shorts and stripped down to speedos before going into the sea. Coming back to the beach I stripped off my wet speedos and put on a dry bikini, next time I swam I took off my wet bikini and put on a dry swim thong. It was fun watching the reaction of the friend.

I love wearing thongs at the beach and the water. I enjoy the looks I get.

Re. post #10, I wish they would come back. Btw, re. post #9, can you or Sebbie or NJH advise FJD1 on posting his personal pics?

I'm curious too as the attachment option seems to have disappeared. The only way I know it to provide a link to a photo stored on one of the free photo sharing services

I've had two Speedo brand thongs and didn't like the fit. When the waist was the right size - not extremely tight - it came up higher than I liked - almost to my navel. I've had much better fitting swim thongs than those made by Speedo.

I have many swim thongs, including two speedo thongs. They do cover a bit more than most thong swimsuits, but on more conservative (but still thong-legal) beaches, they tend to be better received. Perhaps the speedo logo gives them some beach cred that other, less-known, brands don't have
